"I t was very windy that day, though the bay
was flat water. My nine year old granddaughter Alaris took to it
immediately and paddled away (and back again) with no troubles.
My seven year old grandson Tommy tried his hand, and you can see we
kept him on a loose tether because of the wind."
"My daughter Netanya found that three's a crowd when
she's in the middle trying to paddle and the girls want to look/lean
around!
Netanya came back to shore almost immediately because the girls were
too antsy in the boat--leaning and twisting and trying to stand up!
(including my daughter) - After I warned everyone not to stand up the
first time out..."
"The W was easy to take on and off the Honda
Civic."

Update:
Jane's Art
Jane renamed her W Kayak "River Cat" and drew these two totems on its
hulls-
"The two hulls that
didn't have WaveWalk on them are now permanent-markered with these two
designs.
If you look closely,
you'll see that the salmon and the cats are different on each side.
|
|
According
to the Northwest Indians, the salmon represents endurance and
perseverance and sustenance; the cat (cougar) represents strength,
agility, and knowledge."
