Launching my Thunderbolt kayak on the Lonetree Reservoir near Loveland – tall grass and high water.
It was a pretty wet spring in Colorado.
This time I was carrying my standard “self portrait” DSLR camera gear: Canon 40D, EFs 17-55mm zoom lens, Gitzo carbon fiber tripod
This is one of my stock images and is available for purchase from Featurepics together with some other paddling pictures.

Have you paddled the Thunderbolt X in rough water? How rough was it and how did it handle? What other boats do you have experience in and how does the thunderbolt compare in the rough stuff?
My “rough” water experience in Thunderbolt kayak is limited to easy rapids with haystack waves in Colorado and North Platte Rivers and a confused boat chop on local lakes. Anyway, T-bolt is much more stable and faster than my Sisson Nucleus 100 kayak. I have flipped over in Sisson several times, but not yet in T-bolt.
