: Hi Paddlers and Builders

: I am enjoying my OI so very much that I wanted to give a paddle
: report. Last weekend I went out on a local reservoir. The
: reservoir is pretty good size but not so very deep. There were
: ski boats and some good wind. The water on the wind word side
: (if that is the right word) became quite choppy and confused
: with waves going all directions. I had a great time out there
: with no worry about the waters. The OI just seemed to paddle
: right through even the worst of it. With waves breaking over the
: bow and the side they seemed to roll right under the hull and I
: felt more control than I ever expected. I am thrilled with my
: Outer Island Kayak to say the very least. Jay Babina's design is
: just incredible. It is just what I wanted in my kayak.

: Thanks Jay, she is so sweet.

Hi Clayton,

It's "windward" and the boat looks really nice too :)
