As promised, a report on my first “real” excursion in my new Fun:
It was windy out on Boulder Reservoir last weekend, as happens rather frequently in Boulder, and as a result I had to fight for every inch. In my old kayak, this would have been fair grounds for throwing a real fit; in the Fun, it was merely a cardiovascular challenge. As long as I kept paddling, the boat plowed ahead through the waves. After an hour, my back felt fine, my knees felt fine, everything else felt fine (except for my wrists and fingers, but that’s why I’m going to buy a new paddle soon). I also had fun practicing edge control and spins. So far, the boat has been everything I hoped for.
