Actually creepy needless Wolverine

@laughwendylaugh Welcome back! Havent seen you comment on anything in weeks.

@rosalinas it doesn’t count if they’re your own. >.>
You need to want someone else to touch em

@interesting Thanks! I've been busy paddling 4 days a week and getting ready to competitions.

Oh dang! I tried paddling once. My skinny arms could barely fight against a low current. (It was this small river that looped around an island to connect to te ocean)

My advice is to use your entire body when paddling, upper shoulders, core, and legs so you become more efficient and can go farther with less work. Takes time to train your body to do it this way though.

I've been wanting to get a kayak for a awhile but they're so darn expensive.

Have you considered an inflatable kayak? Still expensive but will at least get you on the water until you can afford what you really want.

I considered it but most of the rivers and lakes I would use the kayak on have a lot of driftwood that would just wreck an inflatable one.

Is there a rowing or canoe club in your city? You could look into getting a membership and use their kayaks

Maybe not a bad idea cost wise, but not sure I would have enough free time to make full use of the membership. I think I'll just need to be patient and save for a nice kayak that I can take out on the water once in a while.

You could most likely hire from the club. Might be a bit more cost effective if you rarely go out

Without a membership? I'll have to look into it, thank you for the tip! How is your training going by the way???

Some clubs let you rent without a membership while others don't. Keep looking until you find one that works for you. My training is going well. My coaches keep giving me something to work so that's good. I'll get to where I want to go eventually but I think I have my 1st coach's respect for not giving up and for working on my opposite side as often as I am.
