Hello, paddlers;

We are heading to Cape Cod in a couple of weeks and are looking for places to paddle around there. I realize the chances for whitewater are slim, but does anyone have good things to say about paddling in the estuaries, inlets or Salt Marsh?

Thanks for any advice you can send our way.

Cheers,

Kelvin Chu

FOR SALEMTI semi-dry shortie paddling top. BRAND NEW, never used. Medium, but a big medium (too big for me!). Double tunnel, all black, super nice. Asking $90.I've also got a few helmets for sale. Plastic Wildwater (black), Lidds "Freak" (red/yellow) and a ShredReady "Chex" (dark red sparkle). All are well used (but still safe), so the prices are negotiable. Please email if you're interested. Thanks!
