THE
HISTORY OF SEAKAYAKING IN NYC WITH JOHN PETROCELLI AND BOB HUSZAR !!!
|
****
History of Modern Day Seakayaking in New York City starting with the It was here that John Petrocelli and Bob Huszar created the largest recreational seakayaking club (M.A.S.K. - The Metropolitan Association of Sea Kayakers) in NYC about 15 years or so ago (maybe longer) in the United States. Back then in New York City, every beginning sea kayaker either owned a German Klepper folding kayak or they didn't own a boat at all. Plastic sea kayaks were not even in prototype stage yet and the sea kayaking market hadn't really been established. Although across the pond, In England, kayaker designers were working on developing the prototypes for the first fiberglass sea kayaks. A sleek design emerged called the Nordkap. It was meant for advanced paddlers because it had poor initial stability, but if you had the skills, this beauty cut through water and waves like a knife through butter (The double klepper folding kayak was affectionately labeled - 'The Sea Slug'. It moved. It was roomy (you could pack gear for a month's expedition). It was strong and stable, and if you paddled as much as we did, your body developed to meet the challenge. It
was a blast for sea kaykers back then in NYC. We had the waterways all
to ourselves. The tricky part was, it was extremely dangerous just getting
in and out of the water as there were very limited and treacherous access
points along Manhattan's waterways. The boats (most of them, were 17 foot, 2 seater models. We were a site to NYers and tourists alike as we assembled our kayaks along the debris-ridden sea walls of NYC. We then carefully lowered each boat down long the slick, oil-encased ea walls using frail 'climbers' ropes, doing our best to avoid glass, rats, sharp, oil-encrusted pilings, rusted steel spikes and sometimes waves which rammed us relentlessly up against the seawalls.
The
Salty Dog Webzine contains those articles which appeared in the first
four years of the M.A.S.K. newsletter. Robert
'Bob' Huszar ran a successful kayak company called the Manhattan Kayak
Company who offered You
could imagine how we looked in those rag-tag days: Wearing fisherman's
thigh boots, long rubber fisherman's glove in the winter which made it
extremely hard to grasp a paddle. We wore scuba diving wet suits which
cause our arms to chaff from the constant rubbing. Yep, we were a sight.
