The also have them in a inflatable version.
Way more faster on the water than a toon and hands free?

Ha.. Those inflatables with peddles are a trip.

If you like doing all the research, and putting things together yourself.....and troubleshooting when things don't go as planned, I say go for it. It might be less expensive than a turn key deal, but don't expect to save a lot of money. Those little details can add up quickly. I would also be very ...

Just pulled the trigger on the PAC 1200 tubes/bladders, it was just to good to pass up. So the build begins...

What do you guys think? Yea or nay? I vote yea, make two of them, and take me with you! Do a little quail hunting while we're out there. What body of waters are you looking to break it in on? Thanks, Tim:)/'~~--<*}))>< Haha... I wish I could build a few of them Tim. The first real float will be on ...

This is another option I have been looking into as well. Building the cataraft frame to my own specs via rowframe . Row frame was mentioned on several whitewater rafting forums. Built the same as nrs frames but at a fraction of the cost. For the bladders or pontoons, I have found out that I could pu...

Got a quick shower last night. Not one drop of rain today thus far.

Stopped in at BMFS to try on sunglasses, unfortunately they only carry Smith and off the rack stuff. I endend up buying tying materials for some clousers. I need to find a store that carries Costa sunglasses.

Which ones are you wearing and why? What are the pros and cons of buying expensive vs cheap? I have never owned an expensive pair of polarized sun glasses. I always buy a cheap pair and I always scratch the heck out of them. Surprisingly I have only lost one pair of glasses while surf fishing. I am ...

Light rain started here in East Los Angeles about 45 minutes ago. Looks like the good soaking saturating kind.
Hopefully it will keep coming.

Ouch! That looks like it really hurts.
