Is it possible to paddle between the Manukau and Waitemata harbor Auckland New Zealand?

no unless you go around the top of the north island There are two locations where Maori and early European settlers crossed from one harbour to the other. If you look at a map and find Portage Roads in Otahuhu and New Lynn you will see these locations. The distance is less than a kilometre between the harbours at these points, possibly as little as 500m.

From the Tamaki River you can go up the Otahuhu Creek and from the Whau river in New Lynn you would continue up Avondale Creek.

How do you unseparate Aqua Blade paddles that are stuck together?

While wearing sturdy shoes, STAND with your feet firmly together. Place one of the paddle blades between your feet. Bend your knees somewhat so that they FIRMLY grasp the shaft so as to prevent the paddle from slipping out from between your shoes.

Place your hands up in the air on the other paddle blade and twist in one continuous motion in the same direction. As you twist also pull upward. Remember to squeeze with your knees to prevent the lower paddle shaft from lifting off the ground. At first the upper paddle shaft will only twist in place but as you continue it will begin to separate.

Eventually the two halves will come apart. This has worked when other methods failed such as heat, soaking with WD-40, wrenches, and Hercules/Samson couldn't pull it apart.

Clean the shaft of any grit with water and a moist cloth.

Apply synthetic lubricant to the interlocking parts and always remember to clean she shaft after each use with fresh water.

What is a good length kayak for a lake?

The answer to this question depends on the size of the lake and the way you will use the kayak. In general, longer kayaks are faster and have more room for gear. They are often narrower than short kayaks so they are a little more "tippy". Shorter kayaks are slower and of course can carry less gear. They are usually fairly wide - which makes them less tippy and easier for beginners. They are often lighter and easier to transport to and from the water. If you want to go fast, then a length between 17 and 19 feet is ideal. If you don't care about speed and you want a boat which is easy to paddle and transport, a length of 12 to 14 feet is about right. If the lake is small you don't need a fast boat. Also, if the lake has small tributaries to explore, a long boat may be difficult to turn around in those tight places. If you are paddling on a large lake and/or you want to do extended paddles of 2 days or more a longer boat would be in order. A boat between 14 and 16 feet will hold enough gear for a few days and will have reasonable speed. If you want to carry more gear and enjoy faster paddling speeds then look for a kayak above 16.5 feet in length.

If there are small patches left these can be filled in with a gelcoat mix and sanded down using wet and dry sandpaper.

What is a Slalom Kayak designed to do?

A whitewater or slalom kayak is generally stubbier and rounder than a touring model. They usually measure in at around 10 feet in length and weigh anywhere from 30 to 40 pounds (an important consideration since slalom boats often have to be ported several miles into the river). There is little or no storage space in a slalom boat, but since most river trips tend to be one day affairs, there isn't as much of a need to haul around a lot of gear. Slalom kayaks come in several different designs, with some built for general river running and others more suited to racing or playboating. * http://www.kayakingjournal.com/buying-a-kayak.htmlpaddle around slarlom poles at speed - faster than other kayaks - for this they are low down and long to drive through the water

Overall, sufficient power ensures a more efficient and enjoyable kayaking experience.
