C-Forum

Thank you for your insight Jack, it's much appreciated. I should mention, I'm not looking for a wider boat for comfort reasons, simply stability. I'd like to eventually replace my open boat with a C1 and, as much as I enjoy the Redline, I'm not sure it will give me the confidence I need on tougher r...

...the flex in the h2o blade is very much like suspension on a mountain bike. it's not for everyone, but I happen to LOVE it. Fair enough, and to be honest 95% of the time it doesn't bother me. However, the times I do notice it are when I really need power... when I'm fighting to get on a wave, stu...

A word of caution, the blade on the h20 paddles have lots of flex, noticeably more than the Edge I tried. They are tough paddles though. I'd buy another one if they could stiffen it up a bit. I'm using a h20 c1 now but my next paddle will either be an edge, to save money, or a Mitchell if I feel lik...

So, Greg, my suggestion is to choose a hull based on characteristics other than outfitting, and then experiment with 'narrow-and-low' vs 'wide-and-high' to find out what works best for your legs AND control. And don't write off the Remix until you try it. Fair enough, I'd certainly jump at the chan...

@GSG - too much boat? Ever paddle an open boat? You aren't going to try to sink the ends on even a small a Remix without tremendous effort (it ain't a play boat...) for my use of this boat, volume = being on top of the water = desirable. If you can try one, it's certainly worth some time... @EZWate...

Yes !

After your demonstration I wouldn't touch that boat with a 10' pole!

Should have left my stats. I'm 6', 160 lbs. Long legs, short torso. 79 looks like it would be way too much boat for me. I'm currently in my first C1, a Redline. Although I'm starting to feel pretty confident in it more width and volume would be greatly appreciated when the water levels pick back up....

Hey Folks, Shopping for a new river runner C1 conversion and one of my major concerns is finding a boat with the best USEABLE width. I have long legs and find it quite awkward to control the boat without decent spread. The Remix was high on the list but after comparing it next to a similar sized Bur...
