It wasn’t quite as steep as it looks in the picture, but it was more work than we liked. The other landing option involved a much longer walk across the island. The landing spots where we camped are easier when the lake is at full pool. It was about 15’ short of full pool on this trip.

Thanks for that
We have been to Diablo Lake and love it (but haven’t paddled it)
Live in Gig Harbor so we’ll get out there.
My shot of Diablo
They call the Cascades “the American Alps”
Always a good day. Which model?
V10 sport. I’m a single blade guy mostly so the wing should be an interesting learning curve as it’s been a few years
A friend is a fairly accomplished kayaker and was having a little trouble getting started in a V10. She is a pnutter so may chime in.
I’ve enjoyed it so far, the sport is better fit for me (as I’m an infrequent double blader anymore ) over the V10, so just a bit better initial stability…
This seems to answer the question, “Where’s Waldo?”.
If you are like me with one good side,
the wing paddle will work well on that side
but possibly not on the other side.
At least that was my experience.
It took me a year to become well enough on both paddling sides.
Diablo?
Plansee, Austrian Alps
Still hoping to kayak Diablo!
