I'm learned nothing this year because I have not OC1 (yet).
For future , may be somebody have a pictures with OC1 in class 4 & 5
so I can learning how it is...

To NZMatt

By the way I where in expedition with former GB K1 rodeo team member Paul Currant who now is citizen of NZ/I gess/

Thanks for all advices.
I'm going to choose Pyranha Prelude.
Sorry , but from my opinion classic OC its like a whisky which I can enjoy because of taste and Spanish Fly and Toureau are like vodka whitch is only for getting drank

Thanks for advice!

I recommend demoing if at all possible. Yep, only one problem, the closest demoing place is 2000 km away from me...

Whaddya weigh? - 80kg(176lbs)

What class of water are you in when butt boating? - I guess 4+

Do you think you will creek in the new canoe? - I hope I will because I want

I have possibilities to buy Esquif Detonator or Zoom or Pyranha Prelude. So I need to choose . From my kayaking experience/mostly creeking/, I can imagine the Preludes bottom will make ugly oil canning pretty soon. From other hand the Esquif Royalex probably not so bomb proof . My canoe expirience c...
