Immersion Research 2010

Details:

Contact IR if you have a Jackson, or other kayak that you’d like to retrofit with one of our Forward-Adjust Backratchets. See the steps below or the video on how to install the backband.

These are the parts you will recieve with your IR Forward-Adjust Backratchet Kit

These are the basic installation steps, 1-6.

Step 1 - Remove existing outfitting

Step 2 - Install IR Ratchet using existing hardware

Step 3 - Drill holes for webbing loop installation

Step 4 - After webbing loops are installed, feed backband webbing through loops.

Step 5 - Insert webbing into IR ladder-lock ratchet strap

Step 6 - Insert ratchet strap into IR ratchet

If you want to do the big fat amazing installation then go back to step 2.  After you install your ratchet, instead of installing the webbing loops, follow the steps below, 1-4.

Step 1 - Make a line on the cockpit kiss-off (Jackson boat) with a permanent marker

Step 2 - Very carefully drill the line out with a dremel tool or electric drill to make a slot.

Step 3 - Feed webbing through kiss-off slots

Step 4 - Intall ratchet strap and stick it in the ratchet. You are now going to experience professional comfort in your kayak.

Well another year another trip to Yule for demshitz.  Yule was a good bit lower than we have experienced on previous sessions.  I am not sure I liked it as much, however that could be because I crashed so big that right now my ribs still hurt.  This was about 4 weeks ago.  You will see why.  We are in Big Fork MT right now getting ready to head further west.  Saturday is a boat with the bros session at Alder Creek followed by a Dashboard Empanada premiere.  The very next day will be a similar situation at Aquasports in Redmond Washington.  Come Paddle demshitz!

IR Drysuits are easy to put on and take off by yourself.  The 4-layer Entrant fabric keeps you warm and dry.

A test of wits is displayed as Heehaw Jones competes with a first-time spray skirt user.  All of IR’s sprayskirts are explained.

After the Teva Mountain Games demshitz headed to Glenwood Colorado to surf a badass wave.  This wave is damn nice!  25,000 cfs was pumping down the Colorado river which is the highest flow in about 13 years.  People keep telling me different stories, but I’m going to go with this one.  Anywho, hope you like this shitz!!

Cody Howard sends in a teaser clip from his new film “Haymaker”- Looks gooooood!

Here is a video update from our last few weeks in Colorado.  Right now rivers are flooding and the weather is hot.  I believe today’s temperature is going to break some records as far as heat goes here in Colorado.  I am working on a video from our surf sessions on the Glenwood wave so stay posted.  Next stop for Demshitz is the Lyons Mt. Games and Rocky Mountain Adventures in Fort Collins CO.  Be sure to stop by.  Paddle with the Bros starts Sunday,  high noon at Rocky Mountain Adventures.

This is an ambitious project, to say the least. Those of you in the Asheville area can see the cast and crew premiere on June 17th at  the Fine Arts Cinema- the rest of us will have to wait for the general release on DVD.
