following scorpio
Published September 20, 2009 | 
Just for a change I took my P&H Scorpio down the Wisconsin river yesterday. The Scorpio as you know is the plastic version of P&H’s very cool Cetus. As it happened a couple on the trip had custom ordered 2 Cetus’ from P&H and were excited to be getting them next month. I’ve chatted and paddled with the couple a few times on Rutabaga events so they were happy to tell me all about their new kayaks and where they hoped the new boats would lead. Congratulations!
On another note, I learned something new about the wide back end. In the river current if I let the Scorpio slow down below the speed of the current, the tail would be pushed right around. Quickly. I dropped the skeg maybe 2 inches and got right back in line. That’s the thing with these boats, the tail is very sensitive to conditions but it’s so easy to correct that it’s not really a problem Especially given all the positive attributes.
