Some of the Questions that Zach covered in the Q&A section of this episode

Topic: Cat Flip Lines

I'm interested in a pair of cataraft flip lines. I have a 14ft wave destroyer and there is 90 inches between the internal front and back D-rings. I do not see 90 inches on your size chart. Any chance you will have something that will work on your River Hardware website?

Topic: Shoes

Just listened to your latest podcast on river shoes. Take a look at the Korkers Devil's Canyon (Portland, OR). They are flexible and have a BOA lacing system. Best part, they have interchangeable soles depending on your substrate.

Wading boots have used felt soles for decades; they are All about surface area. Felt soles with metal studs, and you're an all-star on slick rocks (terrible for boats, though). If you need to hike to put it in, use the Vibram rubber lug soles, then switch to felt soles. They make some ugly shoes and sandals too.
