My thanks to everyone and especially to SteveA for connecting me with Northeast Passage. I spoke with someone there this morning who was extremely helpful. She took the time to ask a lot of questions on the specific injury and mobility situation of my friend so that she could make the best recommendation. As I learned, there is a lot more to assuring a good experience than just renting the sit ski equipment (safety equipment, fit, advice on technique, etc.). What she wound up recommending was meeting with the Northeast Passage staff at a lake in Barrington where they will fit her with the equipment, teach her how to use it, and give her a couple runs behind their boat. Then, if she likes it, we can rent the equipment for the balance of the week they will be visiting knowing that it fits properly and that she has been properly instructed in how to use it. What a great program. Thanks again to everyone for your suggestions and your support. The Forum once again proved to be a great resource.
