Hi John, I used to have Session+, the Blue one :D :D I exchanged it for Robson TwinTip, mostly because it was too long for our local playspots(there's enough water only in spring). Also, I think it was a bit unstable when going vertical- because of it's narrow hull and rather big and evenly spread v...

Hi, I've been to Liptovsky Mikulas and Prague many times. Both of them are very good slalom courses. The one in Mikulas represents, actually, two courses about 450 meters long (I'd call them 'an easy one' and 'a difficult one')that meet each other and flow togetger for another ~250 meters. To get mo...

My vote is for Galasport. Like Paolo, I prefer galasport Demon. It's really soft, but at the same time hard to kill
Also, there is a quite new Galasport Magnum- even more 'die hard'

Happy New Year to everybody!

Martin, I knew you would like it! :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry to disappoint you, but this boat has never existed. It's just a fake, designed by my 'yak mate to amuse local ww community. I doubt if Prijon has ever knew about it :-? . I can not but agree with you that the boat would really make a cool con...

PS unfortunately for all of you, it's in Russian, but the picture
speak for itself

Hi Chuck, It's sort of difficult to say how it sets in the water- it's spud, you know :lol: I guess, Craig has rightly pinpointed the best neutral position. The bow is of huge volume, whereas the stern is slicy. Logically, the weight should be shifted bow forward to lighten the stern. I was luckier ...

Hi,

A few weeks ago I got from Germany my TwinTip. Here is a bit
of review. Thanks to Sir Adam, who put it into html.

returnt to you again.
Thanks!

I'm 32. 19 years in c1. Started in 1984 when i was 13 at a local slalom club.For the next 10 years I was a fanatic slalom cboater. The most striking experience was a chance to train together with US Slalom Team when they came to USSR to share their experience with our national team. I trained togeth...

November-March -> pool sessions only, about once a week. The rest of the year..... Well, it's a sad story :cry: The nearest decent playspot is about 5 hours from me and it works only during spring time. I'm there almost every week-end. In sumer we have to travel a lot- from 12 to 23 hours drive. And...

Hi Martin,

Chris,
I am 100% sure that if i tried to do it again I would have failed

Did you know that apart from selling shells without 'yak outfitting, Robson makes and sells C1 TwinTip? According to Robert 'Robson' : "...Yes it is possible to get a TT in a C1 version.. ..with the saddle and the Hip pads it´s the same price as the kayak. Order time is minimum 3-4 weeks in advance....

Hi, I am prone to have foam seat backs and converted all my boats accordingly. Out of curiosity, I tried once both types of backs on my Session+ with a short interval and did not like how'yak' IR band worked at all. I mean, it served it's purpose, but it just was not comfortable, so I removed it and...
