admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 09:41:02 +0000

http://www.boatstogo.com/surfboards.asp SATURN inflatable stand-up paddle board can be inflated to almost 10 psi air pressure for an excellent performance on the water. We are highly recommend our new 12V electric high-pressure pump that can inflate paddle board to full working pressure in under 2 minutes. No hand pump is needed, and intelligent circuitry of electric pump will shut down pump automatically once board is fully inflated.

SATURN multifunctional sport boards are not only great as a stand up paddle board or sit-on-top surf kayak, but also excellent for long trips to remote locations on a warm day.

Our new and upgraded SATURN inflatable multi-sport boards 11′ SOT330 and 12′ SOT365 have D-rings in the front and back for attachment of a surfboard safety leash or carry handles, and set of D-rings at edges of the board for the attachment of an optional kayak seats, to use this board as a sit-on-top surf kayak. Remove the seat – and you have a SUP paddle board or long surfboard. Install kayak seats and you have a sit-on-top kayak for 1-2 persons that is fast and easy to paddle!

Kayaking Big Bend Dam, Lake Oroville, CA

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:37:33 +0000

35′ drop over Big Bend Dam on N. Fork of Feather River. The Big Bend run is a class III / IV run just below the Poe Powerhouse and Poe reach. The run is about 7 miles long when lake levels on Lake Oroville drop to 740 ft. Included in video clip is Box Car Rapid which should be scouted. Other class iv rapids appear at the end when the lake is about 705 feet (big holes on left, read and run from river right) and rumors of a class V rapid lurking even futher down and may have showed up when the lake was really low in Dec 2008. The box car is no longer sitting in the middle of the rapid but there is still train wreckage evident on river left. Flow in video is approx 1200 cfs but turbines can release up to 4000cfs and the waves get quite huge at higher flows so the run has a fun big water feel. The run is only uncovered in the fall during draught years and when the Oroville Reservoir is low (we start running it when the lake drops below 740ft). We hired a boat to tow us out of the lake (call Lake Oroville Marina) otherwise you face a long paddle out (4 to7 miles depending on lake level) to the boat ramp at Dark Canyon.

Lake Union Kayak Trip

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:27:07 +0000

http://twitter.com/JessicaRandazza – My friend Jessica asked if I wanted to go kayaking with her on the Lake today. I decided to give it a shot, considering I had not been in a kayak since I was 13. The experience was very wet, but the Kodak Zx1 stood up to the task (albeit, with no image stabilization).

Jessica is not yet a registered member of http://geeks.pirillo.com/ – are you?
