Still paddling the Episea in 2009

It was 2006 when we first bought Gryphon his Episea Kayak at the Inland Sea Sea Kayaking Symposium in Washburn, WI.  I wrote about that original purchase here.  Here we are nearing the end of 2009 and Gryphon, now 8 years old,  is still paddling the EPI.  The upside is that as each year passes he can better control it.  The quality of the boat is great.  It’s still in great shape and the bow flotation bag still holds air perfectly.  The only problem has been the back hatch cover which screws in tightly but tends to get jammed up by sand and dirt. Oh well.  That’s such a minor hang up for a kayak that can take your child through their early paddling years.
