In Response To: Re: OUCH ! (David)

Hi David, I thought the ACA curriculum for instructor training went overboard with "HOW TO LIFT A KAYAK" lessons. But after slinging a few of these boats around the last ten years and seeing folks bending from the waist and/or twisting while cantilevered it's easy to see that 15lbs of anything can wrench ones back. In the beginning of most classes I usually mention that folks are more likely to injure themselves lifting their kayaks than from paddling.
