To Smile About . . .
Blue Mountain Lake, NY
If only we had a photo. Try to picture Forest Ranger, Jason Scott, in his Wee Lassie paddling across Blue Mountain Lake in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains . . . nothing particularly noteworthy about that . . . UNTIL you learn that he was delivering an outhouse door balanced across the Lassie! Thanks Jason, we’ll all think of you as we enjoy the benefits of your effort.

Paddle Like A Girl
Saratoga Springs, NY
Early spring on Fish Creek just east of Saratoga Lake. Paddling the “Survivor-Thriver” -- a pink Wee Lassie created in the spirit of courage and enthusiasm shown by breast cancer survivors. In our opinion, “thriver” better describes the attitude and appreciation exhibited by the survivors we’ve had the great pleasure of meeting.

Another “Believe It Or Not”!
A nearly completed camo Wee Lassie for Frank Foley . . . so?
Part of the Slipstream Team were on their way from Northern New York to the Yellowstone and Grand Teton high country for some paddling, hiking and mountain biking. They were passing near Buffalo, NY (where Frank Foley finds home) so the idea was to deliver the Lassie and save Frank several hours of driving. One problem . . . the SUV was already loaded with bikes and two Wee Lassies.
Solution
Squirm the Wee Lassie into the motor home (had to deploy the driver’s side slide-out) and connect with Frank in Buffalo.
Unusual Delivery
Frank hauling his new camo Wee Lassie out of the motor home.
“As for the canoe . . . love it! I’m so glad I chose the camo. It’ll be my “trophy” canoe. Thanks.” Frank Foley

@ 5+ mph.
Steve Ladin paddling on the big and wide Hudson at Kingston, NY. This was a trials day -- his associate Beckett wasn’t too happy about being left on the beach. Steve is an artist and now owns a natural kevlar Wee Lassie.
Why so happy? Christina Capobianco is the winner of the “Paddle Like A Girl” pink canoe which Slipstream Watercraft donated to the Susan G Komen breast cancer survivors program. We’ve been told the Wee Lassie will find its home on Loon Lake in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York.

Elaine Dellande obviously enjoying a late fall day in Pennsylvania.
Frank Foley in his Real Tree Camo Wee Lassie out Buffalo way. This Lassie is 3” deeper than standard and Frank has made some interesting modifications (not shown).
That’s some kind of husband!
Patrick Wagner, at the Slipstream Outpost in Fairport, NY presenting his wife Jillian with a great birthday present -- a custom Wee Lassie -- cherry gunnels with scuppers and a custom laser engraved deck.
Jillian’s deck reads . . .
“Everyone must believe in something, I believe I’ll go canoeing.”
~ Thoreau ~
“Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love it :)”
Says Jillian Wagner
after getting home
with her new Lassie.
