Let us know how it went! Swim confessions and carnage reports are welcome, but it's not fair to tell on your buddies!

Maiden Voyage with New Fluid Do It Now Boats

Post by SmileAtSusan »

Thanks to the kindness of Coastals Member, Rich, I can happily say that I am very happy with our new purchase of the Fluid Do It Now boats. So different from my Tribute, and the Tarpons, but so much FUN! I'm still getting the hang of the great responsiveness, but I can already feel the difference in surfing along Choochoo Rapids along the James.
Thanks you so much, Rich!

I don't have one, but had the chance to paddle my buddy's down low water Wilson Creek a few weeks ago. Cool Boat!

It was nice to just jump out of it and walk up on the rocks.

Yes, I do. Its way more boat than I will ever use, but I love the fact that there is lots of room to grow in ability.

I put a friend in mine on the Glade Creek section of the New yesterday. All he had ever done was a 16 ft, flat-bottomed canoe on moving water. He had lots of fun and made it thru everything upright and in control.

I think its a great boat. Very forgiving. It makes me really glad that I was able to purchase two of them. One for me and one for someone else to come along on the trip.
