Cool car

...notice how the stern is under water with the boat "sticking straignt up? That's on purpose).

And what would that purpose be? Checking the water depth perhaps?

Well, for fun to begin with. Then you can start doing cartwheels, rock splats and a slew of other "moves". Going down some big water can actually be pretty fun when you're doing a stern squirt

The advantage that the plastic boats have over the fiberglass boats is durability when hitting rocks.

With the fiberglass squirt boats, the "cool" thing is to be able to submerge the whole boat, along with you, under, into the water current and "pop up" to the surface a good distance downstream.

Does sound like fun, except for, maybe, the ...uh...rock splats...
I'm not sure about that one.
My BIL did a rock splat with his Sea Ray 500 Sundancer.
Two new shafts, props and rudders later, the bill to his insurance was only about $11,000.

I'm guessing it was a fiberglass boat? See, he sould of had a plastic boat

Whole idea with a rock splat is to have the current "trap" you on the rock vertically. Then you can get into a rock splat 360 where you're able to do a cartwheel on the rock.

Kayaking has come a long way since my first Dancer (a model of an OLD boat).

Naw, wouldn't have mattered; didn't touch the hull, just the expensive spinning bits.

Some of the english and european cars looked like this one and had this type of body style .
So did the 1936 - 1939 Gm products such as chevy pontic olds and buick.

Yup, most cars seemed to look very similar to each other from that era, but they were also easier to identify by year back then because for the most part they got restyled every year. At least the big three did, who could afford to. Here's a 37 Plymouth Deluxe photo I pulled off the internet. 269,000 were built and it listed for $680.00 new!

"Kendo" is a model of kayak. My first experience at "squirting" with a plastic boat (notice how the stern is under water with the boat "sticking straignt up? That's on purpose).

Until you said that, I was going to guess Kendo was a mix between "kayak" and "endo"

Looks like fun!

For some reason, I'm thinking the car was a 38 Plymouth rings a bell. Funny two guys from Canada helped me remember that

Looks like fun!

Most fun sport I've ever took up, as well as messin your pants up at the same time

Better pic of a "rock splat", although the pic was taken just a second to early. Guy in the boat was the best men at my wedding Pillow Rock on the Upper Gauley ,if anyone has rafted or boated it.
