Thanks to BWD and all his elves that make this site possible. I'm in for 50 and though it's my B-day tomorrow Kus with your 100+ days you would get much more use of the cam. Thanks for your support too 4j and Kus.

Chinook, Chinook, Chinook! When I was down in the gorge a few years ago I broke an old chinook carbon tailpiece. Someone told me to go to the factory and they would probably help me out. At the factory they not only gave me a brand new carbon tailpiece but replaced my adjuster collars for no charge....

Yeah I've tried the febreze on booties and hockey gear when it get's really bad. It does get rid of the stink like nothing else but I wouldn't do it too often, not sure what chemicals they use to be so effective.

Thanks to all for the advise and reply's. I picked up a complementary set of suspenders from OR and tried the suit at kook today. Wearing the suit from home I think the suspenders were a benefit but once you get the top and harness on it doesn't matter. It was nice to be dry for the sesh but if you ...

OR Pyro Suspenders

I just bought a used back zip pyro drysuit. I have a question for those that use these suits. Are the suspenders useful? The one I bought did not come with a set but have Velcro tabs for them, at least I think that's what they are for. Just wondering if suspenders are useful to prevent the dreaded r...

Ouch Saulman that hurts. If you decide you want a deviator I've got one for $20 if you want. It worked for me when I was in the catapult phase.

W247 I switched to longer lines I think that they are 24" from 22" and it made a instant improvement to my sailing in that little a jump. Easier to unhook, rig is more upright, fewer catapults. I could go as long as 26" but I tried WD's lines, I think his are 28, and could barley reac...

Yep the bears always start to congregate this time of year waiting for the spawning salmon to go up the rivers. Always secure your food and never leave any food in your tent that's just asking for bad bear people interactions. Once they get a taste it's all down hill from there usually ending up wit...

I was using a onshore and still was having trouble getting upwind, my upwind technique needs improvement. I purchased a MFC Freewave and it made life way easier, it is still plenty turny for me but makes life easier to get upwind. Size depends on your weight and sail used. Any online store seem to b...
