Hi Larry,

I just got back from the Bloodvein river in Ontario. I would liked to have tested my new Pro Pioneer
before the trip, but time wouldn't allow it. I have got to say, "Holy Cow! What a wonderful
boat!" Our comfort level built immediately after the first rapid and we took a couple class
5s before the end of the trip. You have a fantastic product and we are truly amazed at how stable
it is and how easily it maneuvers. The young guys with us on our trip were calling us "the short bus"
the whole time. But we certainly caused some envy because we only portaged once the entire week
(they portaged about 15 times) and as it turned out, we could have run that one without any problem.
We also had to line around 3 really nasty holes, and we found that the Pro Pioneer lines much better
than a canoe. I should also say that the Pro P was fully loaded every time we ran rapids or lined. I think it
actually handles better loaded.

Thanks for answering all my questions and helping expedite shipping for the oars, locks and patch kit
at the last minute. You folks have wonderful customer service. As it turned out, the expedition patch kit
I bought was only a "comfort" item, this boat is insanely tough! Thanks for making an excellent
white water boat!

Best Regards,
Bob Schreiber
