A recent entry from @kiryn in my FatPaddler tshirt competition reminded me of the brilliant tv ads of the 80s for “Solo Man”, the tough adventurer with a huge thirst who would slam down a Solo at the end of the day before crushing the can in his fist. One of the ads (above) involved a great kayak adventure. So here it is for your viewing pleasure.
