That's why you see Shane n Woody's private table at the Purple Onion with the Cristal set out each afternoon at 5PM.

And why Graham, from Pyranha, is jet-setting with Posh Spice Beckham and Elton John in Cannes right now.

It's why Dagger and Wave Sport are under such a bidding war beween K-2, Oakley, and North Face to see who can write the longest check the fastest. . .

Unfortunately, creek boats take $ to make, skill to design, and experience to engineer yet any fool with a Harmony paddle can blow lines or swim at Chief and then bitch about the plastic.

Kinda cool that the BETTER you boat the longer the equipment lasts, and the more cost-effective the sport is, isn't it...

PS: try Mt. Biking, Surfing, or auto-racing for some cost-effectiveness :-)

PPS:  Warranties are for DEFECTIVE PLASTIC or Workmanship - which happens to everyone from time to time..

Defective lines, trajectories, or rolls are not covered.
