Perception?

Is that a Perception Carolina? That's what it looks like. Any other guesses or a confirmation from the poster. And yes, that's a much nicer shot than most of the more recent ones.

#5

Really?

didn't do much for me. My instant response was, "Uh, okay, watching sea spray from a wave hitting a rock..."

But it's a bit more exciting then picturing P140 sitting in front of that Wii thingymajiggy, pretending he is paddling... (LOL!)

I think it’s huge progress
It’s not a bowshot

It’s not a sunset

It’s not a canoe sitting quietly on a an empty lake beach

There is some three dimensional quality in the water

There is a paddler enjoying the sport.



Ugly boat though.

#7

Yes its a Carolina 16

#8

Hey sorry its ot more exciting sing!!
I had alot of compliments on the shot and thought maybe I should send it in and see what happens. I agree its not a great action shot buts it ok. What about this one from the weekend?

bad link
But I’m guessing it’s the shot of you(?) low bracing into the face of a very nice breaking wave from your post of surfing shots. 'Cause that is an excellent shot!

#10

Not a bad link you just need to copy
the address into your browser. It will work then.



Hey sing I looked at your webshots and their are some photos of a SOF. Is that the one you built for Jimmy Kelly(Sirius)??


#11

Oooops…
Yes, I like the other one much better… :slight_smile:



Yes. That’s the SOF frame originally for J. I got caught up in a home project and then he seemed to be all over the place geographically. Didn’t have any great incentive to finish it off. It needs ribs and a skin and it’s done. But there it sits in the basement… I wave to it everytime go down to grab my waveski to head out for some surf. :slight_smile:

Limited types
You outline several classic types of shots. Really, if you have to include a boat, some water, and maybe a paddler or two, how many different ways can they be arranged?

#13

Well thats too bad, it looks like
it would be a awesome kayak. I would love to try one someday

#14

Tony that is fantastic !
Congratulations on being this month’s chosen one. I truly enjoy your ho hum shots as you well know.



It is just amazing that some would put down the boat being a Perception or anything else. Folks, it is NOT the boat. It is the trip, paddle, etc. Get a grip on life. Get away from your desk, your smugness and get out on the water!


#15

It’s The Trip!
that’s it. Looking at pics of SOMEONE else’s trip doesn’t do a thing for me. It’s like watching sports on TV doesn’t do a thing for me, though many others would disagreed.



My bad for insulting the original poster. Didn’t realize it was his pic… Normally, I don’t comment on the pics folks post. I should have stuck to that policy. Foot in mouth disease. Don’t catch it.

Nice Pic…
I like the Photo of the week… nice grab Tony.



Where can I get me one of these “extra low-volume” kayaks at?

Well that I have no idea about.
What I can tell you is that the girl in the picture is quite the kayaker. She does both WW and seakayaking and she obviously likes to surf.

#18

Hey sing thats no sweat!!!
I don’t expect all will like any photo I know I certainly don’t like most. I am glad you liked the other one.

#19

I’ve had bad experiences with Perception
so … whatever
