So I'm getting the Revo ready for GS7 and I'm having problems with the rudder up and down.
It's really sticking so I figured I'd address it before game day.
I have no clue what's going on so I reach way into the hull and feel an obstacle. I grab ahold of something and pull it out.
Rewind to Yakhopper's Tiki tourney 2011. Yea, 2011.
I'm getting ready to launch and I cannot for the life of me find my paddle jacket. I looked everywhere. No dice. I figured it grew legs (If you get my drift).
Ended up buying a new paddle jacket.
Yea, that's what I pulled out.
After several ocean, lake and river trips. After several kayak washings, inside and out, the paddle jacket was in the hull this entire time.
Somehow it was wedged way up high. The only thing wrong was the zipper on the chest area where I keep my license was corroded real bad.
After several scrubbings of 'Salt Away' and a few squirts of WD40 it finally broke free.
The zipper even works like a charm.
No rot, no mold, no mildew. I could use it right now if I wanted.
This thing has been sitting in there for over a year and a half taking all the kayak fishing abuse over that same period of time and still held up.
MAJOR props to Extrasport for making a truly quality product.

I thought that Revo was a pound heavy when I helped you lift it last summer.  :smt044
