Bought the Airframe a few months ago at REI, but didn't have much chance to get it out on the lake in NY before going to Maine last month. Spent three weeks doing morning trips (about four miles) before breakfast on Eggemoggin reach with the Baidarka, Cedar Strip and Wee Lassie guys at the Wooden Boat School. The Airframe (with a 21x38 piece of ply for stiffening) performed admirably - it did take a few trips to figure out how much air was needed for the 'real' ripe grapefruit feel on the tubes. Previous years I had used a cheap inflatable, and my friends either were far ahead or hardly paddling. While I would never claim to have been able to keep up with the Baidarka, we were all very impressed with the quality of the materials and the paddling ease. Glad there is an affordable inflatable that lets the girl paddle with the boys...
