I need advice...
Just wondering if anyone out there has a successful method of remounting a Carbonology Pulse in very rough and confused water?
I love the Pulse and a remount in moderate conditions isn't an issue.
The difficulty I experience is that I have short legs and consequently, a side-saddle remount into the bucket results in my legs being up in the air and unable to wrap over the side unless the ski is leaning so far it tips over. (The bucket is more than 200mm deep and the sides, vertical.)
On the few occasions I've needed to remount, I've done so over the hump, then slid back. This works fine in moderate conditions, but as I found recently in confused water with lots of reflections and bizarrely close boat traffic, this method becomes a lot more challenging. (Think short-interval 1 metre swells from multiple directions with gusty 30 km/h winds and a sheer cliff-face in menacing proximity!) After many attempts, I eventually succeeded, but the call was close enough to warrant a search for other options!
Cowboy remounts don't work with this ski due to the high sides and raised section aft of the bucket.
So, - if there's a remount trick I haven't yet worked out, I'd been keen to benefit from the knowledge of others...
PS: This is the only ski with which I've had any difficulty. I know it's hard to compare without identical conditions, but V14s and Gen 1 UNOs seemed like a cinch compared with the Pulse.
PPS: Hayley Nixon are you out there? Any tips and/or observations would be gratefully received...
