C-Forum

For the record, I purchased a Snapdragon EXP. Even with the moved-forward seat of my Prijon Pure C-1, it worked great. I'm back on the river!

Thanks for your help, folks.

I think I remember that Snapdragon Groove skirt. Never did stay on great.

I suppose I'd also love to know: What type of skirts are C-1ers using?

Just curious.

Thanks,

Alden

I guess what I'm specifically asking is -- does anyone have any experience using any of the Snapdragon skirts -- the EXP, or the Armortex -- or the Level Six skirts on C-1s with normal Dagger pedestal configurations?

Any opinions appreciated.

Thanks,

Alden

Hi Folks, My old Mountain Surf skirt finally bit the dust. Of course this happened right as the rivers are finally up after a year of drought . . . I just drove the local paddling store, and the best whitewater skirt they had, a Bomber Gear skirt of some kind, definitely did not fit my Prijon Pure X...

Since this thread was started, I posted some footage of my friends and me running the Taureau.

What a great river.

I have several old VHS videos I'd like to put on the Internet. "Fast and Clean" is a classic, most notable to me for one of the great moments of understatement I have ever seen in a film (so understated that I did not understand at first what had happened at the end of Linda Harrison's run). I have ...

Glad you all enjoyed it. I know I did. The race line is considered to be the river right side of The Spout -- a boof onto a rock shelf that leaves one in the current at the base of the drop, rather than in the river left "kettle." From 1976-2009 this line was considered very dangerous, and only run ...

I thought this was absolutely worth posting. During the recent Great Falls of the Potomac Race -- a class V downriver race held on a section of rapids just outside Washington DC -- kayak paddler and former race champion Geoff Calhoun broke his paddle in the first rapid. With two more class V rapids ...

The question here for me is -- why has stand up paddling seemed to catch fire as a trend, while striding (standing up with a kayak paddle) never did?

(And stepping beyond the good-natured wisdom I'm sure we all share about the superiority of the single bladed paddle.)

Neat. What's the name mean?

It certainly looks fun. That said, I'm a bit alarmed at the speed with which it has seemed to gain legitimacy. For instance, the ACA (American Canoe Association) sticker that I got this year when I renewed my membership says: "ACA: Canoe, Kayak, SUP, Raft, Rescue." Four of those have been around for...

Hi folks, I wanted to provide an update. I have paddled the Prijon Pure XL for almost a year now, and it's a wonderful conversion: stable, boofs well, tracks well, and I've already gotten more hardcore use out of it than my last Burn (by a mile) without a crack so far. (Knock on wood.) I did crack t...

Well done.
