Pleased to say my new Scupper Pro arrived today :clap2::clap2:

 

Need to fit the side carry handles and then hopefully have a little paddle in it at the w/e

 

Just had a sit in it and it feels very comfy B) totally different feeling to my P13 ;)

Hi,

 

Nice one.

 

GB and myself and possibly Stu are planning a trip on the river cleddau on Sunday if you want to join in. Start up river and drift down towards P'Dock then return.

 

Could be a chance for a head to head between a Scupper Pro and a Pelican :)

My thoughts exactly, a race!

 

I will be there hopefully :)

 

TPW has been ill so I doubt he could make this sun, but a future race will be a good test!

Tides for Sunday are

 

HW 06:40

 

LW 13:01

 

HW 19:03

 

The tide is only in at H'west for about 45mins either side of high so could be a bit of a paddle back upstream at the end of the day.

 

Alternative start points are Black Tarr (Llangwm) or Picton Point / Landshipping.

 

I'm open to suggestions.

I know we like to place lots of faith in our yaks but there is another element we shouldnt forget................the paddler.

 

I know a guy that used to regularly win downriver races against whitwater racing kayaks.........he paddled a slalom boat.

Fished since 2003, the rest of my life I just wasted.

Hi Rich

 

Thanks for the offer mate but i'm still not fully recovered yet

don't think i would be up to a paddle from H/west to P/dock and back :headhurt:

 

If i do venture out to try the yak it will be just a little pootle about someplace

for an hour or so.

Nice one Tom.

 

As for having a race, no problem I'd pit the Pelly up against a SPTW anyday as long as I dont have to paddle it. Stu you said you wanted a go in her m8 so I reckon you can race Tom as you are both of similar stature. After all I'm definatly built for comfort not speed :D

1 on the lure is worth 2 from the bait.

Tidy :)

 

Plus we would have to a swap to see the difference when I am paddling scupper!

 

I get to try to new yaks on the same day :clap2:

 

Would be nice to see the outcome

I think it would be a close one over a straight course, but throw a few tight turns, tide or wind into the equation and I think the Pelly would come out on top.

 

We'll have to have a TEST meet stu, I'll bring allong my 2 and you and Tom and Richi L bring yours and give them all a good hooofing in open water.

It should be this outcome:

 

Pelican

Scupper

P13

 

however like Darnsarf has mentioned a lot of it comes down to the paddler! I am not the best of paddlers :(

 

However we need a TEST meet as I NEED to try these kayaks ;)
