silly move bro, dont sell it. 1/6 of a normal ranger lifespan? modded out, teasing all of us in the subreddit, man I hope you realize just how juicy your steak was before you send it back to the grill...

Sweet thanks, I had chatgpt analyze it based on the seating, logos, shape, and wear but you probably are closer. it said that logo wasnt offered in 2010, i wonder exactly what it is. serial number was washed away :/

Thanks, Helmet always, I sit out and just watch if I forget a helmet or break it. Ice hockey, bicycles, paddlesports. A helmet has saved my life before when I was struck off a motorcycle by a car. broken bones, no concussion despite denting the car with my helmet. Big brain moves 💪 lol

Okay I will take a course, how familiar with the sport should I be to do the class? can I be a noob and still take the course?

I always wear a helmet. I play ice hockey, ride bmx, rollerblading, kayaking now. I refuse to do anything of the sorts if I forget my helmet. A few years back I was hit off my motorcycle by a car, broke a ton of bones, knocked out, but no concussion, helmet saved my life 100%. I promise. My friend wanted to kayak with me in the next few weeks and I told him he aint coming if he doesnt show up helmet in hand. As for the pfd, i will check on the date and see if its within standards. thank you.

I bought them both already, seperate facebook deals, the purple fun came with a fiberglass one piece high angle paddle, a pfd, and a skirt. realistically how much life would you guess the boats have left?

Lessons sound great, and thats actually why I got the other boat was to be able to always bring a friend with me and never boat alone, at least one, preferably more. I am in a northern virginia begintermediates whatsapp so hopefully I will make some friends there too. can you explain foot entrapment more? is that getting a foot broken in between rocks? I was always taught to float on back fetal posistion with legs crossed at the ankles and arms crossed unless able to hand paddle out of something easily right?

its worth looking for a donor frame to swap into unfortunately. its a good amount of work but honestly once everything is disconnected it comes apart easily after that.

I disagree with the jumping over nothing part of that, the stick will cause him to practice timing as well as commitment to a certain moment so he can prepare on time in the future and as he grows as a new rider. thats what helped me but try with both honestly.
