: Today I finally took the Iggy to the beach.
: A freind and I wanted to take a last paddle of 2008, and the weather was
: great. Temperature just around freezing, almost no wind. The sun looked
: through the clouds.
: I outfitted her with a retractable skeg (Björn Thomasson design), and that
: was a good idea. Not that she cant be paddled without a skeg, but with the
: skeg down she tracks extremely well.

: We went for about 12 km. and back at the launchsite I took her through a
: couple of sweep and butterfly rolls. No problems at all. I even felt
: confident enough to try a (to me) new roll, I stalled, crashed and
: returned to the surface sweepstyle, but the fact that I went for it just
: shows how much confidence I have in this kayak.

: I love this kayak. She performs perfectly as a dayboat (with the skeg), and
: rolls like a dream. Now I just cant wait for march to arrive, when Ill be
: taking a few lessons, to master the handroll
very nice, love that green
