Be 34 this April, and been open boating since I was 14.

What size amigo?

:roll: $2000????? Seriously, brand new designs off the line and factory outfitted boats aren't runnin' that high. I appreciate the fact that it's in pristine condition, but WOW. But, ya never know. You may find that one person who is lookin' for that exact boat, and BINGO!!! Let's make a deal!! I wa...

That was freakin' AWESOME!!!

I just have to say, I am super excited that there is a company and boat designers out there who are making OC-1's and developing THAT market instead of making another new and improved yak. I have been frustrated in recent years seeing all of the research and development moving away from OC-1, so I g...

I think you got awesome answers to all of your questions. I just wanted to add one thing that may or may not help you on paddling a straight line, and it's on one of these Ken Ford videos if you can find it. Paddling an inside circle really helped me out w/ my boat lean and boat control, which in tu...

Now that I have a pretty good idea as to how to fix 'em into the boat, any suggestions on affordable bags? I went to NRS and also to the NOC store, but both of those seem somewhat pricy for bags. (I know, I'm cheap, or as I like to call it, I paddle on a budget) I been keepin' my eye out for used on...

In my viper, I clipped them in with the same cheap little carabiners, ('bout a buck apiece) and attatched 'em to the grab loops. I have some places o...

I think that probably the most important thing I learned when learning to roll was proper low brace technique. When I finally got it, it was because I finally got my body positioned square to the water (chest perpendicular to the center line of the boat). Combined that with a little C to C hip actio...

I dunno about the spray foam, I can forsee where I might wanna put some gear in the boat, and I think I would rather have the option of removing a bag to place the gear in. A friend of mine suggested that when I do put any gear in it, to put it on my on-side. When you say the bulkhead, do you mean t...

Greetings and solicitations!! I'm new to this board, having only recently found it browsing the web for C-1 info, when lo and behold, it appears I hit the mother load! :D I've been an open boater for years, most recently paddling a Viper 12. I found a great deal on a dagger atom recently, so I had t...
