... here is his link. http://www.taddennis.com/?q=node/185/play also, a note for those interested... Fraker got a 96.84 in his first heat beating martikan by .01 seconds, and then later losing the lead by like 2 seconds, but that is freaking awesome... cheers guys and gals. -isaac

... turns really nicely, but goes in a straight line too. Very fast. I can't really compare it to the Makao though. Never paddled one of those. The Martikan...I've never even seen one of those. Not sure how many (if any) there are on this continent. Pretty unusual, but I think the Lizard would be ...

The Vajda Lizard and Galasport Makao are pretty much the boats to have. They are the best all around performers. Both are true 350 boats. The Martikan'07 is like the website says, designed for Michal Martikan. If you look at some of the Euro club races, some people have success with it. However, ...

What boats are winning in the C1 & C2 slalom events both at junior and senior levels?

How has the Galasport Ninja done up against the Vajda Martikan 07 and Lizard 350?

... better foam core, but gala does excellent seams. its basically either or, and they both perform, neither one is more popular on the world scene... Martikan, Pfannmoller, Mincik, Fraker, all on vajda. Estanguet, Hocevar, Bell, Mazek, all on Gala boats. -isaac I hope you can get that one, we will ...

... it is definetely easier to paddle. but it is 370, and you notice the length compared to the shorter boats. I haven't had a chance to try out the martikan. but if you paddle like him, then that would be a sweet boat. but if you make some mistakes, and are closer to the real world of paddling, ...

Seems like the Martikan is being successfully campaigned by a number of your folks!

Wow tough choice. These are all very different boats. The big difference right off the bat is the Ninja Pro is about 20 cm longer than the Martikan and Lizard 350. Here is my take: Martikan is a very narrow and edgy so it will be a handfull to paddle. If it suits your style it could be a very ...

Hi,

Im looking at buying a new slalom C1. I have the opportunity to get a Galasport Ninja Pro 370 for a good price but am i worth spending slightly more for a boat such as the Vadja Martikan 350 or Vajda Lizard 350? Are there huge differences between the boats of old ish and new?

Thanks

Colin
