Today I took the Cappuccino out for a spin in Shanghai. And what a joy it was. It was so easy to carry and get in and out of.
I had to drop it down a 1,5 meter high wall and and then climb in. No problems.
It tracks well and speed was not bad at all.
Now turning this little fellow was an experience. A little bit of edge and it spun around in the narrow canal. I am going for another lunch paddle tomorrow and on Saturday I will go for a long one with my son Axel and Simon Takashina of Haish sports with his wife and 1,5 year old kid!

Hey Richard, I was hoping to make my way up to Hangzhou next weekend but looks like I can't find anyone to cover my class Saturday afternoon. I'm still hopeful that I'll get up there and demo a boat.
Do you know how the police feel about allowing us to carry boats strapped to the top of a car on the expressway? On the backroads and in the city it has never been an issue but my girl friend feels sure they won't let us get on the expressway with a kayak on the roof. Backroading it from northern Zhejiang back to the south would be a long scenic ride. At least spring is a good time for it and we'd pass some fine paddling spots. :)
Hi Chuck. So far I have been lucky. Regulations are sketchy and vary from province to province. If you drive and have the proper paperwork you should be ok. If you have a local driver he might get in trouble. Good luck!
Great news, I found a teacher to cover my class on Saturday. My girl friend and I are planning our trip up. I broke my phone a little while back and seem to have lost your contact info. Mind getting in touch with me again? Cell: 137-3636-9718 or my e-mail Senamar at Hotmail.
