Sounds like Doug Lloyd.

I'm guessing at least one of them learned a valuable lesson.

I wouldn't be surprised if they set up a small side business supplying parts to existing Feathercraft owners. That would give some comfort to future sales transactions.

That's about the worst news I've had in a long time. What a shame, though sadly, not unexpected given our current economy and forever changing priorities. Some really top notch people worked there and I'm sure they'll all go onto even better things. Damn shame none the less.

I took my course through CPS (Canadian Power and Sail) in Kelowna was very pleased with the instructor and the course format. I'm sure they have a branch or two in the Lower Mainland. While their focus is largely on larger craft, they do push the important points if the course; correct...

I'm the past president of the Kelowna Kayak Club. There's lot's of active paddlers in the local club, but I guess fewer of them are on this site then there used to be. I would send an email to kckcmembership@gmail.com and inquire into any upcoming activities. The club AGM happened at the...

Re: NDK Explorer - $2,250 Unhappy to report this kayak is now sold. I'm gonna miss it. :(

Re: NDK Explorer - $2,250 It's not. I had some coaching from some of the THR guys and one of them stuck it on there as inspiration. It looks cool and might fool the odd person into thinking I'm a better paddler than I actually am.

Re: NDK Explorer - $2,250 No. Still available. Come and get it... :big_thumb

Just thought I would mention that any prices on www.chillcheater.com include the UK VAT (a bit like our GST). This is not charged to out of country purchasers. You should really be deducting %20 off of those prices. This brings the price of the Reed down to $24, not $30 (though shipping would...

I have an NDK Explorer (currently for sale, BTW :roll: ) and would say that for VOLUME of gear it's well suited to 2-4 week trips. I'd preface that by adding that you must have a good handle on the size of your individual pieces. The hatches are only 9" so there are some larger items that I...

Ahhh! Sarcasm. My favorite. Sorry it didn't work out for you. P.S. I've got both the MEC and the Reed Balaclava. I like them both.

Your experience couldn't be more different than mine. I have ordered several items from Reed over the last few years so I know I didn't just "get lucky" on a one time order. All of my shipments did show up, with no pre-sent tracking information, but were received within a 10 days of ordering...

Re: NDK Explorer - $2,250 Ever since the Phoenicians invented money, there only been one answer to that question. :wink:

I have ordered a number of items from a small cottage industry company in the US called Simply Light Designs. He can custom make tarps (and hammocks, etc.) based on any request you have. I have found his build quality to be top notch, and the service and turn around on custom orders unmatched...

2 months of "physio" (Acupuncture, EMS, Laser, Heat, massage, stretching, etc.) did essentially nothing for my kayaking related shoulder injury. It's unlikely that anyone other than a trained SPORTS physio person would have made an improvement. My family Doctor pretty much confirmed that...

I'm familiar with the Oru Kayak. It doesn't fit my "conventional" definition of a folder, though I suppose you can't get more "folder" than the Oru. Frankly, it barely fits my definition of a kayak. :wink: Call me elitist, I guess.

First kayak I ever paddled. Nice boat. Shouldn't be hard to get it seaworthy.

Totally, wholeheartedly agree with this part John. Very well said. :hug
