Re: Comparing new OC-1 solos for 200+lbs

Pat you check out the Octane line. Big Al is rocking the 91 on the Upper Yough and a newbie was in the 85 and was really happy (moved down from 91 at 200lb). Condor might be an option too... once I get in it I'll post on it... The Option I ...

Re: Esquif's 'Excite' for big paddlers (compared to Condor e

Originally I was assuming I'd have to go Covert 10.5 (though it sounds less playful than the Condor, so drops down my considerations). But now I'm wondering how the 9.3 (or Agent 88) handles higher weight? Reality it is I'd probably have to buy any of these boats without being able to try them first...

Pat, my guess is you would like the Convert better than the Option.

Re: Esquif's 'Excite' for big paddlers (compared to Condor e

Wendy, I haven't seen specs, but the Agent 88 looks along the lines of something like an Option? I never felt I could get an Option to settle down quite right for me, always seemed to be fighting it a bit (perhaps because I didn't fit in other people's outfitting), like "paddling a cork" as they say...

Re: Esquif's 'Excite' for size L paddlers

It’s the big boy version of the Extasy but in T-formex.

Comparing new OC-1 solos for 200+lbs

... new. I found the Octane 91 too much of tank to paddle with any grace on slalom-like stuff, so I'm hopeful about some of these new, longer big-boy boats. Edit/Update - here's the Rapid Media article, it's a prototype scheduled for 2019, an edgy slalom kinda boat for 150 lbs +. Given it ...

Re: Covert 10.5 vs Rebel Handling?

... The Covert 10.5 and the Rebel are more comparable in size. I'm about 230 lbs, and I find my Ocoee doesn't keep me upright in places where a modern big-boy boat like a L'Edge, Octane 91, Condor... Rebel?, Covert 10.5? might. I found the Octane 91 too stable though, and would like something that ...

Re: Gemini C2 - FREE

True enough (Ontario IS big). Unfortunately not close to your neck of the woods - Cornwall, SE of Ottawa.

Here are a few images I took this evening.

Might paddle OK, might need some patches. It's free, don't overthink it;)

Re: Gemini C2 - FREE

Where in Ontario are you headed? (It's a rather big place!) I'm in MN and might be up for making a trek if it's not too, too far. Thanks!

Re: Kayak conversions—and catching up!

I thought of the Dagger Axiom as well. If Heavy D's experience was at all like mine, the Redline was too small for big boys, but the Axiom looks to be a larger version with nice lines. Also check your paddling clubs in Portland, Seattlle and BC, there may be some Atoms, Cascades ...

Re: 20/20 At Zoar Gap On The Deerfield

Mikey, It surfs just about anything you park it on, big or little. It's quick to go to where you point it but it has a top speed that makes it less enjoyable on rivers that have long pools between rapids. I like it on the loop at the Lower Yough but ...
