We are finally ready to accept initial orders for C1 Skirts. The cost is going to be $135 per skirt. You can find more info here on our website: http://www.riverelf.com/c1skirt.html We want to thank everyone that contributed as we gathered info on cockpit sizes. As a result, we have decided to be ev...

Hey all, I just wanted to add to this thread in the event you haven't yet seen the "River Elf C-1 Spray Skirts" thread that's currently on the forum. We are finally starting to take initial orders for C-1 skirts but may still need to work with some of you to dial in the fit for certain cockpits depe...

Jon, if you are still looking for some skirts, we would be happy to work with you to get you sorted out. More info can be found on the "River Elf C-1 Spray Skirts" thread that's currently on the forum. You can also contact us at info@riverelf.com or check out the link to the C1 skirts page on our we...

Thanks for the info on the Finkenmeister. I think we will have something that will work. Regarding tube placement, we have established some "standard" tube locations for each deck but we definitely can move the tunnels forward or back from that position without any extra work. My only concern is tha...

Thanks for that info! It's not too late if anyone else wants to provide some additional cockpit sizes. We appreciate the feedback we have received so far and as a result we have decided to offer additional deck sizes. I think that we can meet most everyone's needs by having some longer rectangular/o...

We are happy to do it - part of our mission at River Elf is to help keep cboating alive and maybe even revive it a bit in the process. Bob, the final large deck size is complete and somewhat rectangular, roughly 20" W x 23" L and designed to fit cockpits 72-78 inches in circumference. This last week...

Here are a few pictures of the finished Large deck size skirt. It was designed specifically for the Storm Chaser C-1 and Storm Giant C-2 but should fit most larger cockpit C-1's. The medium size deck is also complete and we'll post a few pics soon.

Thanks ya'll. We certainly appreciate your support of River Elf over the last several years! We are glad to help out. We have the large and medium deck sizes defined but I have not yet designed the jigs for the "small" deck size. I am thinking something that would fit older 4m (90's style) slalom bo...

Thanks for the comments. Jim, I'm assuming by "rapid style", you are referring to the extra material extending beyond the bungee? Anything else that you all would like to see? Right now, we plan to start with a fairly basic skirt to fill the immediate need and then perhaps later on offer a more high...

Hey Fellow C-Boaters! Starting in 2022 we are going to start building C-1 spray skirts. As many of you know, C-1 skirts have been very hard to come by these days. With the closure of Snap Dragon (who had been providing custom skirts for our C-1's) we found ourselves in a tough spot and have decided ...

Hey C-Boaters, If you live in the mid-Atlantic area and have been thinking about one of our C-1's, we will deliver this fall (mid/late September) for $150. To get in on the delivery you need to order by Friday August 6th. Also, if you have a boat that needs to be transported South, we can help out w...

Hey Scott, as Adam mentioned, the Storm Chaser would be a very different experience than what you are used to (albeit a fun one nonetheless). You'd trade straight line speed and stern pivots for catching small eddies, surface spins, and bobbing over waves - it's different but quite satisfying in it'...

Hey Jim, I wanted to let you know that I will be over at the Nantahala on Saturday April 17 and will probably paddle the entire river. We'll have a few of us in C1s. I'm not sure if this aligns with your travel plans but we'd love to have you join us if you're down that way. I'll send you an email t...

We just wanted to let everyone know that we have recently released a new updated (2019) version of our wider Storm Chaser C-1 - sizes M/L - XL. It's similar to the original 2013 boat but with a few minor tweaks: 1. Width: the new version is 28" wide which is 1/4" wider than the original. 2. Depth: t...

You guys look great in that boat - thanks for the nice review Mary!
