Deckline Refresh and Kayak Repair Class

Are your kayak decklines droopy? Or elastic? Or non-existent? Join a group of OOPSters at Alder Creek for a deckline repair extravaganza!

The OOPS listserve recently hosted a spirited discussion about decklines: are they needed? pros and cons? mistakes made by manufacturers, etc...?

Bring your kayak to this session for an inspection and help repair essential safety gear. Alder Creek has graciously volunteered space in their parking lot and will have staff available to sell you the gear you may need.

In preparation for the upcoming Deckline and Kayak repair session, please consider downloading a copy of the Oregon State University annual inspection list for kayaks. Below is the link.
