: Getting wet is part of kayaking, inside and out :)

: Carry a pump.

This is very true but, for some reason, all my boats take on more water than my fellow paddlers. This includes my plastic Baffin, my S&G Point Bennett and now my Disko Bay. I think it's a product of both my boats and paddling style. All three boats have relativley low, to very low, back decks that are constantly awash. And, as I said in my initial posting, I edge my boats to the point where the coamings are always in the water. A tight neoprene skirt can only keep out so much water, I guess.

Better get to work on the pump mod!! Thinking on taking my old skirt and modding it to allow me to pump out the boat without having to take it off. Haven't figure this part out yet. Any suggestions?
