no, but, wait

How can it be “old school” when old school is so old school that  I don’t remember old school.  I mean I’ve only seen a Dancer nailed to a wall.  But I’m told the new Fusion from Pyranha is basically an old school boat with some modern embelishments.  What it is is a river kayak  handle up to class 3 white water and still carry some kit.  Now, I have to say, I do like this boat.  I mean, not THIS boat exactly. I’ve yet to paddle the new Fusion (and yellow’s not my bag either). In fact  the one at Canoecopia was the first to land over here, but I love the concept.  I can image there are plenty of us out there that would enjoy a tough little river boat that’s a bit more predictable than a playboat.  Now we just have to get a few together for a test paddle.

    Mmmm – pretty – although agree with you about the “acid yellow”, esp in early mornings :-0 ! But I think the ability to carry a bit of gear with less fuss in a river boat is pretty cool…
