Re: Value of a good Prelude in west Canada?
Have you been watching the Canadian dollar lately? Spanishfly's are the new currency. The boat is the one you've seen it is my back up to the Option. Would ideally trade (+or- $ as necc) for a Spanishfly or maybe a Force OC1, something easy to travel ...

Re: Instructor training that allows for small boats?
... love the short boats, but typically have a mix of craft. We use tandems, but primarily focus on solo skills. I have had instructor candidates use Spanishfly/Option/L'edge. I am willing to accept Ion or equivalent paddlers, but you must be able to ferry back and forth across significant current ...

Re: Canoe for the Grand Canyon
... rafts like the shore to empty occasionally. I had a bottle of Old Crow that sufficed as a bailer after the first couple of days... I will take a SpanishFly next time. Raft support is the way to roll!

Re: oc boating after knee surgery...
... took a full year to get back to full strength, but the flexibility never completely returned. Still, I've done many 100 mile multiday trips in my Spanishfly, so long as a raft had my gear. Just do what the physical therapist tells you to do and don't over do it. Don't expect to get back into your ...

Re: Blink impressions
... out to paddle with you guys and not have to worry about my balance in the boat as much as I had to concentrate on my lines. I was inspired by the Spanishfly and the Taureau for my likes and dislikes. I think the design came out way better than I'd ever hoped for and has proven to be a very nimble ...

Re: The Most Insanely Easy To Roll Canoe Ever Created
I agree, the L'Edge is an easy canoe to roll, loads of people I know also say this. Then why oh why is it SO hard to hand roll? The SpanishFly is also an easy roll and is also one of the easiest canoes to hand roll, why hasn't this also transferred with the L'Edge? Just a thought for the ...

Re: Option as CC Bulldog alternative
... the Spanish Fly, I think.... Eli Helbert or Craig might be able to chime in with a bit more information SuperFly was the original Frankie design. SpanishFly was a tweaked design by Frankie for the World's for Rodeo which were held in Spain that year. That's what I understood.

Re: Spanish Fly for Overnight Trips
I picked up a Gaia Sto-Float Airbag so I can fit my gear inside the Spanishfly on overnighters. For just a few days, I think the Spanishfly is fine. Don't overpack. Sleeping gear and food are really all you need. I am intrigued by the new "lifestraw" water ...

Re: Big Dog Force OC-1
I may not be the best person to offer a review. It seems to surf, boof and roll well for me. If you would like to compare The Force to the Spanishfly, let me know when you are in Western North Carolina. I have the best of Esquif and the Big Dogs available to demo. (in other words, no decked ...
