yeah we have a couple caneos, and I've done allot of river caneoing. And I have done a few ocean kyaks trips. Got stuck in a gail force storm on an island once, that sucked but we had lots of supplies. I used to hate it cuz my parents forced me to do that stuff and it was so cold sometimes. But now I think about how lucky I was to do that stuff, and it was actually really fun. Except for tipping in a faster flowing river is pritty scary.

I got a pro deal on it, cause i entered the "Ulimate Video Contest" Last year, and we won the humor catergory.

I think after shipping and taxes (alot cause i am in canada) and all the foam and what not that i need to outfit it to C1 (i had a bit left over but made a whole new seat)

was about $1000 CDN.
