Pablo

[portinfer]

Hey - anyone remember Pablo ? What happened to him ? Did he drift off ? The Spanish/French guy who lived in New Zealand ?

 

[DeepThought]

The Spanish/French guy who lived in New Zealand

And could build a kayak from a few broken eggshells and a needle.
(I second that question)

 

[Adrian]

He's still there Ed, enjoying life. I haven't heard any thing from him in a while though.

 

[island_sands]

got an email from him just recently.. he is in love :inlove at the mo' (not with me!) and is enjoying life thoroughly

drop him a pm, he will get it.

 

[portinfer]

Cool - I was just thinking about all his posts about making a kayak out of a rubber band and a swiss army penknife - then that got me wondering to what he was up to - anyway, glad things are good

conyo Pablo!!!! nice pic and great lobsters... well actually do you call those crays?

hehehehehe yes we all know that you are hot blooded

thanks for your tribute to my Alison... i miss her a great deal :waterwork

 

[Pablo]

Yes Crays, and even if they are small is good to see them because last season they where scarce. I could see hundreds of them under the gigantic ledge where I got those. One got away... I won't blame him: It try to hold him under my arm and get three on one dive.

We'll all miss her and you'll always keep her with us...

Glad that you are around Pablo ! It's good to be busy - nice kayak in the background - I went for a red one (ehem... ok it's pink ...)

Welcome back Pablo!
Talking of Kayaks, I'm also thinking of purchasing a Cobra ( but not a pink one :hmm )! What do you think of them?

[portinfer]

What's wrong with pink ?! Sweet kayaks but I am itching for something sleeker already - oh dear speed freak I am afraid....

 

[Pablo]

I have a cobra expedition. I use to rent other (more stable) kayaks for my girlfriend to come along, but she'll always end up paddling mine... So I brought a second one.

Now is the paddle! she keep stealing my wing paddle, instead of using her top of the range tourer carbon paddle... So I'll go to buy a new one for me, give mine to her and sale the tourer paddle.

She as no experience... but the combo Cobra expedition/wing paddle is really hard to beat.

Cobras are great... a live guaranty, and the designs are awesome. Tarpon do some nice stuff too. The mirage drive on the hobbie boats is worth the try... specially on the sleeker adventure.

Pink :hmm where are the pictures???

 

[Freediver81]

How much do they cost in NZ?

Here they cost $1250 US with a a paddle, one hatch, good seat and rudder!

Jet boat??
Humus anyone?

The last one was a demo, and got it for NZ$ 1500 with RUDER, the 3 hatches and the ventury suction valve. No seat or paddle.

Cobra paddles are design for rentals... not for performance: avoid them!

I've done my own seats... I like to change positions in function the ruder action and the valve suction.
