Greetings. Well first lunchtime paddle of 2013 is complete! Bit of a breeze and a bit chilly but sunny - Vitamin D is good! The old 14 foot Naish Glide makes a great icebreaker! I'm certain that when Iggy (God rest his soul) designed the board's rocker an icebreaker was the last thing he was thinking. But...the rocker slides above the ice and then allows the board's width and my, ahem, weight to nicely compress and break the ice beneath. Granted the ice isn't that thick and i didn't have far to get to open water thanks to an ice-breaking pontoon boat disguised as a duck blind! Anyway good to get out. A couple of pics below:
