C-Forum

i am looking for a rodeo canoe such as a black fly original, pyranaha/esquif spanish fly, savage superfly/skeeter, dagger aftershock/quake, esquif salsa, big dog force, robson, etc.

i would like to trade my esquif paradigm in great shape and fully outfitted including electric dual bilge pumps and 3 ...

I've seen people use a "big deck" size neo spraydeck on an esquif salsa, and a bloke (Bob of concept racing) made use of his fabrication company to make an aluminium deck with a cockpit that he riveted to his Zoom... But I'm left wondering, 'if you're doing that why not just use a C1?'

Open canoes ...

... that flat area to wake up a few mikes above pearce.(aprox 40 miles). In 2009 I paddled down past pearce to mile 298 to take out (south cove). I enjoyed that area quite a bit but aside from a crazy fun pearce ferry rapid and the salsa surf wave it was just a pretty flat ramp down from the whole canyon.

... to cool?), but really just cosmetic.

Haven't paddled mine in years. I'm almost certain I've given up C-1, but I'm hanging onto it just in case. It's in great shape, I could be tempted to trade it for a good Spanish Fly or full rodeo OC like a Blackfly or Salsa. If I do decide to sell, I'll post it.

I can't find it, but 8-9 years ago there was some video from the Worlds in Australia that showed Paul Danks and Mark Scriver in the Salsa.

Anyone have any or know where I can find on of a Salsa in Action? I did do a search but did not come up with anything

the boat is in good condition. the gel coat is cracked and chipped in some spots but the fiberglass itself is sound.

I will be traveling quite a bit over the next few months For the next two weeks I will be in Central Wisconsin. Then heading to western NC eastern TN for the rest of the winter ...

It's not about having a lot of boats for me... it ...

... the older version (the one stolen at US Team Trials). I agree with Bob that it has a better balance to it. It is much faster than the BlackFly, Salsa and CUfly. The BlackFly handles well and is available in plastic, but I think in the Kaos I will be able to perform McNasty's and Orbits once I ...

Am still drooling for some input on this from anyone who's tried the Big Dog.

... kind of paddling's what I want to do when I grow up!

I was interested to see the Big Dog in action -- is this one of the prototypes, or are the production models making an appearance?

Any comments as to how the Big Dog compares to other OC playboats -- eg. Blackfly, Salsa, CU Fly. . .

Thanks!

... on rivers. Stability so a higher saddle can be used and save some ankle pain. A little longer than the creek k1s and yes a different cockpit.

... spins and enders can be fun... but for how long... eh I duuno'???

the great thing about the Fly's and everything that's come after them CUFly, Salsa, BlackFly, etc. is that a paddler could go out and have fun and do more moves with more variety on smaller features that most people have on most ...
