Anybody know anything about the Robson c-1?
by Mike McDonald Mike McDonald

I saw this the other day when I should have been working and got curious. Has anybody paddled one?

Good looking boat (esp the one w/ teeth)

The C-1 looks like it could be a fun boat even for a milkjug...DM

the little open boat?
by James

The little open boat (hardly an open boat at all) looks like it would be super super super slow, shorter than an dagger aftershock, wide. too bad there is no side profile of the hull. a boat under 7 feet with a lap full of water on board, I'm not sure that would work.

Finkenmeister
by Steffen Steffen

Hi
I´m not sure which boat you mean. The decked C1 Finkenmeister I ´ve paddled once. It´s very fast and stable. It has very much Volume and is something of a wave/hole destroyer. But I think I´m too light too paddle it effective(165lb). For me it was impossible to use the edge. The owner of the boat told me for creeking you need 180-185lb and for normal river running 200lb +x. For lighter paddlers perhaps good in a squashed version.
Bye
Steffen
P.S. The "Open Boat" i saw on a rodeo and it worked for flat spins on the wave and someone told that it´s good for cartwheeling in holes

CUFly(Robson)
by Craig Smerda Craig Smerda

Eli paddled it in Europe and says it is wild in the hole...AKA 4 point cartwheels, spins, etc. Really slow, and not a real good river runner. Park-n-play OC. To see the side profile click the Fotodownload...it's wild! Typical Frankie character.
