As i understand it,the Esquif Fly is Royalex,could this be true?If that's the case i think a used Pyrana would be the best choice.It sounds like the Taureau has some issues as i also know a guy who's Taureau came apart at the seam!

Which of the two would be the boat of choice for play/downriver in med. to large water and creeking.Or are they in different catagories all together?

I'm interested,however i live in Western Canada.Where would i shipping it from?Also are pics. avail.If you don't mind me asking,why are you selling.

did you sell the boat?,willing to deal!

I haven't had any issues with my pump,3 yrs and pumpin' strong.

Excelent description of both boats,in different applications.I appreciate your responces and i believe my mind is made-up.See you in March at Louie's!

Thanks for the reply,i kinda assumed the volume might be a problem.I can get one that is slightly used for $870cdn,a steal for you.I guess it'll be a fly or a taureau.By the way,nice pic.What river are you on?

Anyone who has one or paddled one,opinion requested.Was considering a spanish fly or a taureau for river play and creeking.However,i found a Wheelboy for sale in BC and wondered what it's like for downriver and creeking?It looks like fun boat,but is it really an all around boat.And what's a new one ...

OF the two "creeker" boats that Esquif will now be making,Spanish-fly or Tareau,what's the better all around boat.I live in the west and we don't have any "BIG WATER" here,mostly med. flow technical and abrasive rivers.I heared the Tareau is a little more difficult to roll?

I paddle a Nitro, a great boat.Easy to surf,roll and keep dry.Relitively nimble,however a little big for smaller creeks.Also for the more advanced,the Zoom.A great o-c creeker and water-faller.Short,deep and easy to roll,and boof off ledges or rocks.By the way,your lifestyle sounds really crappy,i'd...

Giddee-up,and count me in.If you came from Germany and thought it was worth it then i'll definately check it out.Thanks for the info,and even for some reason it doesn't officially happen,i can still go paddlin'.How many sleeps 'till March...

I heared 'bout the gathering at Lenoir City in March and love to attend.Not sure if i should ship my boat($$$)from western Canada or, if there is somewhere i can rent one out there.If anyone knows a place to do so please let me know.I paddle a Nitro or Teaureau.About the gathering,will it be the sam...

i've heard of possible delamanating on the joints,hope it ain't true.How's the handle compared to what you paddle now?
