Yes. I have an ic surf kayak converted to c1.

Have a look on Facebook search C1 Kayak Conversions.

It's a 3m boat. A real handful but it is so fast and fun. There is no better feeling than falling down the wave face in a surf specific boat.

Hi, How do I set up to roll and come up on my offside. I can't fathom out even where to put my arms. Do I hold my paddle out in a twisted up low brace, in a high brace position or try and hold my paddle like I'm mopping the floor or something?

Hi I've jut been given a Pyranha I4. I've paddled it a a kayak and found it does not have sharp edges. Has anybody had experience of these as a C1. I currently have a Prelude and a wheelboy. The giant cockpit does look inviting after squeezing my 6'3" in and out of a wheelboy!
