I’m selling selling a Czech made Gumotex Seawave (Inflatable) High Pressure Kayak including many accessories.

Light use from September 2016 until February 2017, when I decided to switch to a hard hull kayak, now collecting dust in the garage.

Kayak can sit up to 3 people in open configuration (2 adults + 1 child), single or tandem with the use of the spraydecks (or not)

The Seawave is being sold in North America under the INNOVA brand, which makes it easy to get parts.

https://www.innovakayak.com/

If you were to buy the Innova Kayak for the same configuration and accessories

you would be paying:

Kayak (with transportation backpack) : USD 999.—

SEAWAVE deck for 1 person (with reinforcement): USD 319.–

SEAWAVE deck for 2 persons – without reinforcements: USD 169.—

2 Skirts: 2 x USD 54.— = USD 108.—

SEAWAVE rudder: = USD 249.–

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Total: USD 1844.– = converted  CAD 2450.– before tax

I would be adding to above package following items (worth at least CAD 475 before tax)

Bravo 4-ALU R.E.D. Dual Action Hand Pump / Air Pump

K-Pump Mini 100S  (to carry on board of the kayak as back-up)

Scotty Pump 21″ with Float

NRS Foam Paddle Float

Gumotex – Removal Wrench / Hobby Tool to Install and remove Push Push Valves

Gumotex – Push Push Valve for Inflatables

1 x Werner Skagit FG 2 Straight Shaft Paddle

North Water  Throw Line

Note: It seems that there is some sand particles stuck in pressure release valve in the  floor, causing a slow leak. Problem can be remedied by either removing and cleaning the valve or have it replaced (cost around $15). However I’m not a handy man, so I would leave it to the buyer to deal with it.

I’m selling all above package  for CAD 1,700.—

Kayak is currently located in Steveston area.

Happy Paddle! Niko

Peter,

Nice kayak. You might not want to have the manager’s link posted here.  Could lead to troubles.

The Mill Creek is a stitch and tape kayak made from a high-quality marine plywood kit from Chesapeake Light Craft in the USA.
16.6 ft long, this kayak stores easily in the average garage. A weight of only 62 lbs makes the Mill Creek™ very car top-able.
A flat bottom give the kayak a shallow draft and an initial stability so high that even beginners feel safe getting in and out of the boat.
Despite the 33 ins width of the boat, it moves easily with little paddle effort. is very well suited for children. A rudder lets the rear paddler steer.
There is plenty of room for light gear.
The price is $1,000.
Covered storage is available for this boat at English Bay. The cost is $310 per year.

Starting at tomorrow night’s meeting, we’re piloting a gear swap at club meetings. All members are welcome to bring kayaking-related items to sell / swap. Bring your things and we’ll help get you set up at a table.

I thought we might be getting into an old comedy routine based on person 1 going into a restaurant  and ordering breakfast from restauranteur 2:

1: L  O!

2: L  O!

1: F  U  N  E  M?

2: S,  I  F  M.

1: F  U N  E  X?

2: S, I  F  X.

1: OK, M  N  2 X!

**

So  if you were really worried, you should have asked:

R U OK?

and I would have responded:

S, I M OK? U?

Hello Everyone,

I received a few email wondering if Bob has heard from anyone on the Exec/Directorship. I replied to Bob via personal email last night. I understand others did the same.  I am pleased to say that as expected members of the club are happy to assist Bob in trying to arrange some special moments for his friend’s children.

As I mentioned to Bob, I am sure many more members will be supportive of his effort, whether they are in touch with him directly or simply in their thoughts.  We will go about this the right away to avoid liability issues, while rallying around as the wonderful community that is SKABC.

Bob,

Thank you for reaching out and allowing us to do our part to brighten these young men’s days and perhaps impact their future.

Merry Christmas Everyone,

Chantal

Last August I lost a coworker in an accident more fitting to a horror movie than a workplace. He left behind 3 boys aged 10, 15 and 17 that he was raising himself. I took up a collection for Christmas gifts at work and have received a great deal of money. Now I am trying to decide which activities and gifts would work to brighten up their first Christmas without their father. I am currently planning some outings and would like to ask if the club would allow them to take the wet exit  and rescue course or another suitable beginner training course without joining the club to see if this is something they may be interested in. I will supply all of the equipment they may need. I do not know who makes this decision so I put it to the general membership through general discussion.

Please let me know what you decide.

Bob
