Al, If I'm correct, Esquif is now producing the Spanish Fly and the Prelude... they had them on their booth at OR last summer with Esquif stickers on them, and I've paddle an Esquif Spanish fly last fall...(actually, it was a Pyrahna one with an Esquif sticker, but Jacque C. brought it...) I don't know where they are right now as far as production goes, since rotomolding is a new process for them!

Hopefully, I'll have some time off work, and I'll be able to drive south to join you with a bunch of Riot C-1 samples!

You are correct, Vincent

But not sure when they are in production.

Andrew and I will probably do the 15 hr marathon all in one go, leaving the house Friday aft and getting to Lenoir at about 8 - 10 am Sat morning in a semi-zombie but happy state.

Louie, how's the snow?

AFAIK Esquif won't do the rotomolding process themselves. They have a company close by who is specialised in rotomolding and they do the hulls for Esquif. Outfitting and labeling is then done in the Esquif shed.

The PE boats are not yet on their webpage, not even on the new flashy one

"A canoe trip?" he said. "There ain't nothing to go down there for."
"Because it's there," Lewis said.
