"Hey Andrew,
Quick question, how tall are you? I ask because I am thinking about pre ordering a 5.9 jitsu and want to know if I'll be comfortable. I am 5'11""

Andrew Holcombe replied to Chris McConnell's discussion seat adjustment 2012 mamba"Hey Chris,
sorry for the delay in getting back to you. In answer to your question, the screw on your seat should only be tightened from the top with a philips head screwdirver. You do not need the bolt on the inside of the seat to be…"
Andrew Holcombe posted a blog postRio Pacuare a Costa Rican gem
It's been a solid 10 days of kayaking here in Cosa Rica the land of sunshine and amazing rivers. While there are numerous opportunities to paddle all over the country my favorite run so far has been the Rio Pacuare. The Pacuare has a long history of kayaking and rafting in Costa Rica with some of the first companies setting up operations in the early 80's. After spending several days running all the sections I can see why. First off the Pacuare has an amazing amount of whitewater that is…See More
Andrew Holcombe replied to heath weir's discussion dagger plastic"Hey Heath,
Linear should work well, don't know the specific name. Might be a good idea to find another broken boat and use that since it sounds like you're working with a pretty big hole

Andrew Holcombe posted a blog postWintertime!
Although it really doesn't feel like it most days here in the southeast we've officially reached Winter. Winter brings a lot of good things but it can often be a hard time to motivate to go kayaking. After all snow, sleet, winter mix, or rain when its 35 degrees don't really scream "let's go get wet". However if I can get past that some of the best days I've had on the river have been in the Winter. For me it really brings a different feel, it's often super quite and less crowded. Often at…See More
Andrew Holcombe posted a videoTallulah with the new mamba 8.1
Had a chance to paddle the new Mamba 8.1 on Tallulah this past weekend. What a sweet kayak! Fast when you want it, easy to maneuver, stable, all the things you'd expect in a great kayak. Enjoy the video!
"working on that would be nice be be able to sit in the squirt for more than 10 minutes."

Andrew Holcombe posted a blog postThe Green Race and Short Term Memory
Green Race! My most anticipated race is right around the corner, first racer at high noon this Saturday. The runs are in, the attainments done, the smack is being laid down, bets made, the list of what surrounds this race goes on and on. This year is a special one for me as its my first one back on my road to recovering from a herniated disc. It's been super fun to be a part of everything again and I can't wait to fire out of that start gate. But that's Saturday and this is today. I…See More
Andrew Holcombe replied to Tom Hewitt's discussion Outfitting Mamba 7.5 and 8.0 - Bulkhead Foam"Hey Tom,
Sorry this took a bit to get back to you on this. First off welcome to kayaking! As for your outfitting question you are exactly right. If the bulkhead foam is too big just cut it with a knife or shave it with a…"

Andrew Holcombe posted a blog postEddy Catching 101: let the eddy work for you
Hey all hope everyone's summer has been good. It's been a fun one here in the southeast a little on the hot side I suppose but that's just a great excuse to get in the water! I'm going to take a moment to talk about catching eddies, actually what I really want to talk about is making it easy. No more almost making it but sliding out the back or struggling to cross the eddy line. Eddies can turn from your nemesis into your friend by following one easy concept: Let the eddy do the work!…See More
