John – let me know if you are still looking. I can send you to a friend who has one she may be willing to part with.

[Former Member]

Boo. I hope you get out on the water soon. It’s good for the soul.

[Former Member]

Thanks for that info Peter. I will wait until Canada day and see if it goes on sale.

Hi Alicia,

Current Designs boat is for medium/large paddle – it will be too big and heavy for you. Look for boats that are designed for smaller/medium size paddler.

Seaward infinity is more of day trip boat, 15′ is not a great boat for overnight trips. Also the reviews are not great for this boat.

Thank you Yekaterina. I saw the ad last night and have emailed your friend.

Hi John, a friend just posted one for sale on craiglist in Victoria. Let me know if you want me to connect you.

Hi John,

I paid around $800 for the Emperor. Great value!  I also picked up their rope tows, cockpit covers, a spray skirt, paddle ‘beener’, river shoes – all very high build quality 30% off.

********CANCELLED******

Unfortunately, I need to cancel this as I am needed at work. I hope to try again soon. Possibly next week either Tuesday, or Thursday.

I would like to go for an early paddle from Jericho on Friday. The winds look light in the early morning, picking up between 9-10am from the west. My thought is to paddle to, or towards, Wreck Beach and have a leg stretch and snack, and then back with the wind behind us (I hope!) I will reassess as we go if the winds do somethng different.

WE WILL BE PRACTICING PHYSICAL DISTANCING AT ALL TIMES. IF A CAPSIZE OCCURS I HOPE WE CAN RE-ENTER SOLO, OR WITH DISTANCE ASSIST.

MEETING PLACE: -for non JSC members, just east of the pier by the Jericho Sailing Center. For JSC members in front of Jericho Kayak Center. (formerly Ecomarine) Non members are not permitted on the JSC site right now.

Beginners welcome but you MUST:

-Be able to wet exit and be able to do a self re-entry.

-Be responsible for your own safety

-Be able to handle a kayak in turns and moving forward and be able to do a wet exit. It also may be a bit windy on our return, so be comfortable with that.

-Have all required safety gear and an appropriate style kayak.

-Come dressed appropriately for weather AND water. It will be a bit cool in the morning. I will likely wear a drysuit. If you don’t, I recommend: Carry a full change of clothes in a dry bag which will be accessible on the water.

 

Suggested clothes: A thin synthetic or fleece layer(s) on the bottom and synthetic layers on top with a wind breaking jacket. Water worthy shoes. A sunhat. Gloves (and spares). Sunglasses.

Other items. A snack. Water. Camera. Dry-Bags.

Return time will depend on group but I will aim for 2pm latest return time. Please allow some leeway for unexpected circumstances.

Please email me with details: quisch@gmail.com

I’ve had one for a couple of years and it’s works great. I’m a medium sized guy with large feet and it fits on me rather large everywhere except the feet which are not quite the right shape. It has a tough reinforced construction everywhere, except the feet which is where i think it is needed most.

Do you recall what it sold for on sale?

 

Thanks

Hi John,

My first drysuit was a Kokatst front entry that I still use. Got the Level 6 emperor on sale a few years ago, shoulder entry is not as easy for me to access. Great quality a d heavy duty construction.  I wear the Level 6 in the cold and the Kokatat when it is warm.

Level 6 is usually on sale for Canada Day and Boxing Day.

Hi John,

I don’t have a full drysuit, but most of my gear is from Level Six – Dry top, pants, splash jacket, gloves and booties and I am very happy with with their products.

The fact that they are a Canadian company is great too of course….
