    Hi Mr. D---just wondering if you have ever had the problem of blue/green algae stains on your AESport kayak hull? I do and I'd LOVE to know how to get rid of them---no amount of scrubbing with soap and water, spray cleaner, etc. is moving the stain! It's like a thin tide line along the waterline on the hull. I am not a happy camper! Would you have any advice on what I could use to get rid of the stain? Is there a product you use or could recommend? I would so appreciate some help! Thanks so much!

    Thanks for the walkthrough! After a recent float down a local river, I made a bad decision to leave my kayak in the back yard overnight. And then a torrential rain storm came up. Since everything was soaked I had to totally disassemble, dry, and reassembly. Your video was super-helpful for getting everything back in place!

    If you have a paddle that doesn't have the splash rings, no problem, slice off a piece of pool noodle and your good to go. The paddle can get damaged if used to push off so bring along a long stick that can be held in the paddle holders when not in use.

    It's reasonably priced. The conditions do not look unsafe to me. They seem to be the very conditions in which one would use such an accessory - to take advantage of the wind, that is. Perhaps, the kayak is not stable enough?
