Growing Pains?
It is with reluctance but necessity that I am selling my Kokatat Rogue Drytop - women's small plum.
It is a great drytop in excellent condition with custom neoprene gaskets and just back from a leak test by Kokatat. I hate to sell it because it is a great top and I love the color (which is now discontinued); however, it doesn't fit any more.
No, the top didn't shrink. I have gained a few pounds and now the top is too small. I am not totally lamenting the weight gain though because I am now over 120 pounds which seems to be a magic weight in the whitewater kayak world. Often boats are made for people 120 pounds or more. I often feel like the short kid who goes to the fair and can't ride the rides because "YOU MUST BE THIS TALL to ride this ride." YEAH!!! Maybe more boats and other kayak gear will fit me now.
Those that knew me 5 years ago before I became a kayak bum knew me as a lean, mean competitive mountain biker and triathlete. Now, I am a kayak bum. Hence a little bit more body fat but also a much stronger upper body. If only I could grow my legs a couple of inches longer.
Speaking of longer, shorter, taller, ect. We are selling a bunch of our used kayaks and gear. This is gear that doesn't fit us or we have replaced including my gore-tex dry bibs that go with the drytop and Jeff's drysuit. If you are looking for some good quality used gear, check out our online gear sale.
