Not a problem, think that I will be floating all weekend anyhow. Need to get it while I can.

I play boatball @ 5:30 on Wednesday at Riverside Park, perhaps we could meet before or after for a little roll session, or just bring your canoe out and join in the boatball fun as well.

I love that guy! I even quoted him today. I've watched canoe movie probably 25 times since I got it a month ago. A must watch for all aspiring open boaters.

I don't plan on doing Facebook but are they on C boats? Those guys look like a hoot to paddle with. Hope to meet some of them at ALF next year.

HA!!! GDI on FB has some crossover to CBoats, but Louie got POed that the CBoats people actually moderated him. (He got in a dustup with another poster and they both got asked not to post for a month.) Louie likes to talk smack about CBoats almost as much as he likes to talk smack about American Whitewater, and about 10 other things.

So, no, CBoats is definitely not a replacement for GDI, but that ain't necessarily a bad thing. You will be able to get info on CBoats about ALF starting in the fall sometime.

I had a chance to watch Bob Footes roll video a couple of times last night. And even strapped in the Prodigy for a few of his dry land exercises in the living room. where your head is in relation to the center line of the boat is a great tip. Seems like the move from high brace to low brace is going to be the tricky part.

Failed anchor on one of my thigh straps yesterday on the Mulberry. I'm out for a while until I get my outfitting repaired.

Sorry bout your boat. So do they say you're in the "Fainted Goat Club", once you master your roll?

Kristian, use epoxy to fix it. I've never had good luck with vynabond or other similar glues.
