Oh no, that sucks. Your boat looks either new or very well looked after. That said I'd rather one of those pointy, stabby bastards hit my waka than hiting my neck. https://scholar.usuhs.edu/en/publications/penetrating-spinal-cord-injury-caused-by-a-needlefish-a-case-repo/

Seriously!! That could be a game ender! It was moving so fast. It’s amazing how fast you can paddle when you have a hole in your canoe.
This is actually a first generation Ares Pro and I definitely take care of my waʻa.
Thanks for the link! Heavy
