C-Forum

I work in the Outdoor Rec industry, unfortunatley far from the Grand Canyon, and was highly impressed with Pro. Professional River Outfitters - http://www.proriver.com. Right in Flagstaff. They did an amazing job. Pick you up at your hotel, shuttle service, help you rig, stay with you during the ran...

Alright I know you're all gonna tell me to just totally convert it but... I have a Dagger G-Force 5.9 that I'd like to make my second c-1. Right now it's a K-1 and I have a few ideas on how to make it convertible. I’m thinking about putting my pedestal on some sort of plate that will attach to the s...

I've been paddling my XXX for almost a year now, and I love it. However, on many of the waves I come across in the North East it has a tendancy to peal very easily. I have gotten very used to saving it so I don't get flushed off a wave but have heard that squashing will give me some more rocker. Any...

Hey Nam it's Ryan, I just talked to my old man he has a plastic welder and is bringing it home most likley tomorrow. If we're paddling this weekend maybe we could play around with it. If you want email me at kimble96@hotmail.com. Talk to you soon... hopefully with all this rain we're supposed to be ...

I could definatley benifit from paddling with other C1ers. If anyone out there is near the Adirondack's or NJ and wouldn't mind a tag along I can use any help I can get.

Yes Jan your right. I do need to build confidence. I think Im doing fairly well, having just started C1ing 3 months ago, it will all come in time. but I can definatley use pointers. Kayaking seems so easy now but nothing beats single blading, I'm here to stay. Are there any excrsices I can do in the...

I took my XXX out for the first time last week somewhere other than a pool. I brought it to the local play wave (scudders, NJ and the beach) and it rocked . I did however have some problems on the wave. I can surf like a champ going left to right, (Im righty) but I can't figure out how to carve back...

Matt, I just got my Snap Dragon C1 skirt (lg cockpit, sm tunnel) from AW last week. I've used it in the pool twice so far and seems to be working well so far, it seems to be a pretty dry skirt. I's a little tight to get on my xxx I think thats because it's wider than it is long. If you call AW they ...

Last night I was playing around and actually got quite a few good cross-bow draws. I was amazed at how fast I could spin my xxx around. I would get about 2 1/2 rotations then fall on my face. Has anyone done a cross bow draw into a stall? How about into a cartwheel?

Tonight I had my 3rd real pool session in my converted XXX. Belive it or not I have a pretty bombproof roll (in a pool that is) I hit it on the first try about 99% of the time. My problem comes with cartwheeling and stalling, I can double pump and get vertical no problem but cant switch to my stern,...

Last night I brought my XXX to the pool to play around for the first time as a c1. Being 5'5" 120lbs, it was hard to ever get the thing vertical as a k1 , now the bow goes down without any effort. I found out some things I did good and what I need to fix for next time. I could definatley use a littl...

I almost got my XXX converted, shaped a pedistal myself that Im pretty proud of :D , and some nice knee cups. Im just having one problem, My D Rings wont stay glued in. Im using Liquid Nails Contact Cement, following the directions and everything. It just wont stay glued solid. Any suggestions? Than...

Im just about done converting my XXX and I was wondering what people use to plug the holes for the bolts for the kayak seat?

Hey Im thinking about converting my Wavesport XXX to a c1. I have tried c1 on flatwater before and talked with a few people about it and it seems like an awsome time. However I am cluless as how to start with outfitting. If anyone has any pointers or pictures I could proably use all the help I can g...
