Getting maybe just a little better at kayaking... Working on my boof on a small class III and flipping over a lot. The water was cold so I got to wear my new NRS farmer john wetsuit.

Edit**
I hurt my right foot during this trip to the whitewater center...after about three weeks of walking around in pain I went to a doctor and found out it was actually fractured and then I had to wear a boot around for 2 months.

For sizing reference I am 5'9 and 135lbs.

NOTICE the feather angle on my paddle is L30! Werner offers free custom feather angles on their website and as a left handed paddler I couldn't be happier. (Possible video on my custom L30 Sherpa in the future.)

The Astral jacket size S/M fits great but gets a little tight when I have on a wetsuit and dry top underneath on colder days.
The Astral Loyak shoes do not come in half sizes. I wear a size 9.5 in all shoes (Nike, Altra, etc.) The 9.0 in the Loyak fits great and I can even wear my NRS Hydroskin socks underneath them on cold days.
Seals skirt cockpit sizing is kind of strange but if you go to their website you can search for your kayak and they will tell you what size fits.
