In Response To: Re: Clayton, you are evil & must be destroyed (Scott Fitzgerrell)

: Kurt, as a smaller guy who paddles rough water, you'd really enjoy
: the SS. In Ken Katz's review on Rob's site he says, "My
: feeling is that the large rocker in the bow and the very full
: sections forward don't help speed in flat water, but when there
: is any texture to the water it seems to be an asset." This
: is spot-on in my experience. On flat lakes, I admire my wife's
: Storm SLT for the way it slices along and leaves hardly any
: wake. On SF Bay in ebb chop, or on Tahoe when it blows up on the
: east shore, the Shooting Star just shines. You can point it
: securely in any direction at will, it surfs like a mad thing,
: doesn't care about wind, and is surprisingly dry, given its low
: profile. Very quick and maneuverable--and well mannered when the
: water isn't.

: --Scott

Wow Scott! That's a pretty great endorsement. I couldn't find your email address to contact you directly.

May I add your quote and a photo of one of your Shooting Stars to my Shooting Star web page?

All the best,
Rob
