Re: [wildwater] Can anyone tell me about...

Doug- It's not totally on point, but the following link on the British ww site gives some information:  http://wildwater.suddenlaunch.com/index.cgi?board=news
Look under "lets talk boats".  I would think Geoff Calhoun or Chris Hipgrave would have the most information on the pros and cons of the k-1's out there.  For what its worth, Charles Albright has both a Millennium and an Esox. He generally paddles the Esox (because he broke the Millennium foot brace) , but says both are good.   .....Ed

Kernville CA.  That was back in 2003 and I hadn't been in a wildwater
kayak since 1992 at the time.  So, yes, it was very weird.  But now
I'm wondering about those two boat types, which is faster?  I am 45
years old, still a bit over weight and probably deluding myself into
believing I can handle a fast squirly boat.  Let me know if you know
anything. 

Thanks, Doug Ritchie
