Wisper-Review-2008
Wisper by Feathercraft Folding Kayaks ur Wisper model is a true touring kayak that can be transported anywhere: whether 10 Omiles or 10,000. Our touring boats share some things that we’ve developed over the last 30 years: a low-maintenance aluminum frame; watertight, tough, welded skin; redun- dant fl otation (integral sponsons, sea sock and available fl oat bags); no deck zippers (they leak and can break); and a quality backpack that can be stored easily in the kayak (neces- sary for one-way trips). The Wisper is a smaller cousin to our Khatsalano and shares its Greenlandic lines. Its upturned ends handle waves easily, and it turns well with a lean. It’s designed for small- to medium-sized paddlers, although long legs are fi ne. With planning, one- to two-week trips are quite feasible. We’ve tried to keep the weight down, so practi- cally anyone can carry it, and we’ve tried to keep the cost down too. —Doug Simpson Feathercraft Folding Kayaks Length overall 15' 6" REVIEWERS Beam 23 " LJ: 5' 1", 150-pound female.

Whitewater Kayaking
Outdoor Pursuits – C.W. Perry 1 Whitewater kayaking Whitewater kayaking is the sport of paddling a kayak on a moving body of water, typically a whitewater river. Whitewater kayaking can range from simple, carefree gently moving water, to demanding, dangerous whitewater. River rapids are graded like ski runs according to the difficulty, danger or severity of the rapid. Whitewater grades (or classes) range from I or 1 (the easiest) to VI or 6 (the most difficult/dangerous). Grade/Class I can be described as slightly moving water with ripples. Grade/Class VI can be described as severe or almost unrunnable whitewater (classic example: Niagara Falls). Design Sea Kayak Modern Play Boat The kayak (or just 'boat') used in casual whitewater kayaking is different from those used in Sea Kayaking. Traditionally, kayaks were made of animal skins stretched over wooden frames. Early whitewater boats were fiberglass or kevlar, and this is still preferred for racing due to the light weight, but most modern whitewater boats are typically rotomoulded from a tough plastic that is slightly flexible and very durable, if easily scratched. Boats can range in size from barely long enough to hold the paddler (around 5 ft long), up to 12 ft or longer. History Paddling on rivers, lakes and oceans is as old as the stone age. The raft, the catamaran, the canoe and the kayak evolved depending on the needs and environment of the indigeneous people in different parts of the world. The modern day kayak most likely originated about 8000 years ago along the Siberian coast line by the Yukips and then transformed from the open canoe, via the Aleuts and Inuits, into an enclosed kayak.
