Re: Olympics.....Dude.

Tasiadis of Germany just busted a HUGE first run in the semi-finals on the first run. NICE! Now waiting to see if Florence, Martikan, and Estanguet can do some more of their spectacular racing on the second run today. Regardless, we'll get to see all of these racers in the finals.

Re: Olympics.....Dude.

Watching a recording of Togo's Boukpeti (k1) make his second qualifying run, my son Noah says "he's pretty good for a kayaker! " that *was* after Martikan and Estanguet....

Re: Olympics.....Dude.

... of competition and see the mistakes everyone, and I mean almost all the cboaters, are incurring on the course. Expecially with the top racers. Martikan did his typical, put-your-head-down-and-paddle-harder-than-the-pain-you're-feeling style of racing on his last run, but it was so disappointing ...

Re: Olympics.....Dude.

but I'm also a big fan of Martikan and his unusually bullish paddling style, who if he performs like he usually does (rather than like his first run) will probably win and deserve it... also some other people are racing :p Yes, and Tony ...

Re: Olympics.....Dude.

Yeah, I was definitely conflicted about Martikan's second run. It was bumming me out that it knocked Casey out of the semi's, but holy ****, was it a brilliant run.

Re: Olympics.....Dude.

That was an awesome show. Martikan's brute-force sprint for victory, Estanguet's smooth and clean runs and that unfortunate moment in the hole, Florence's fight for the top 12... K1s are boring compared to this.

Re: Kayaker dislocated shoulder moving to oc1

... as they usually require a lower seat than OC-1s. Now, I wouldn'd agree here... For racing, that seems to hold true, with the exception of the Martikan series of boats, C1 design has stuck with a fairly boxy mid section; but in the river paddling relm, you're held back only by the amount of ...

... terms of top speed and acceleration. Slalom: Ironically I've found that pretty much any 3.5m boat is measurably faster than my Extrabat, but the Martikan is particularly fast. OC1: Outrage; though that's likely down to the limited range of OC's I've paddled. Looking at the list, there's a correlation ...

... too I am currently having a Syphon (though it's the older model). It's a good boat with a rounder hull than makao and co, it was based on michal martikan's designs. But it is hard to make this boat track and keep it gliding since it turns off it's course extremely quickly wich at times makes ...

I'd plump for a Plastic 2008 model Martikan from Vadja over converting a K1 slalom boat.

Weight range

Take a look at the weight range on Martikan's skinny boat before you leap,
M 135-154#
L 155-175#

Also be sure you like bat wings for legal width. 8-}
