Captain: ThereAndBackAgainClass 1, Single Male
Boat Description: Last year I paddled a Prijon Seayak because of familiarity and seaworthyness. This year I'll be going for speed with a boat from Current Designs or Sweetwater Kayaks. My lesson last year though... Build a better kayaker, not a better kayak.
