... when full of water, but it's not that bad. I never had any trouble making it go where I wanted to. I paddled it 5 days on the Nanny and one on the Ocoee and couldn't get enough. I don't know if I'll ever get back in my C-1. (it's a Z) I highly recommend it if you're looking for that type of boat. ...

... design - quicker, turned better, and less stable - more like a Blue Hole Sequel or Dagger Rival. It didn't have a hard chine (like a Dagger Ocoee or Mohawk Viper) so was fairly forgiving (not so twitchy/edgy). I was a little over the design weight (only by about 20#...) and could tell - ...

... rodeos, races, and other major events of course). It will probably be a weekend gig with one day on a beginner oriented river, and the next on the Ocoee.

... sell mine once I build another one, although there are several folks who have reserved first shot at it; it's 8.5' and low cut for 175lbs, 6/7 ocoee-proof layup. Paul Schreiner should still have an Acrobat mold, and he is making boats on his own now that NW is dead; you can find his number ...

... In the spirit of inclusion, we thought the trips should be on challenging but not extremely difficult water (for example the Lower Yough or Ocoee etc.). In addition, our thinking was to not have these trips in conjunction with another big event like July 4th or some festival so our group ...

... it up at Surfers Rapid in their C2-Way to show the yakkers how to do it guys!!) but somehow didn't feel complete. Hallowe'en Sunday we ran the Ocoee (80 degrees and short sleeves!)and let me tell you: WHAT A COOL RIVER!! I had a blast. If you haven't made it down there, and you feel like a ...
