Sub (less than) 10ft. "TRADITIONAL" OC ???'s

[Helly]

I didn't vote, cause none of these are my favorites

Phantom---pretty unstable in bigger water...very edgy. I did like the speed. It is touted by some to be a smaller version of the ocoee. I beg to differ! I now have an ocoee...I love the edges a lot better, it is fast, fast, and surfs great! Stable in bigger water to me...I could never get the drops right with the Phantom....doesn't seem to be a problem in the ocoee.

Zoom---got in one once..would never paddle. just not my kind of boat

ovation---to me an awful boat...slow, doesn't carve well, slow, slow.

Detonator--awesome on big water, very stable. Chines wear badly though and the bottom too. It is a heavy boat to me, and slow! but most folks swam RoosterTail on the Noli, & I haven't yet.
Of course, haven't been on the Noli in the ocoee yet.

Homes-what little I've paddle of it, I love it! Sorry, I'd probably buy one over L'edge

Prelude---I've never been able to really get in one to paddle it...they are always bulkhead and outfitted for the individual. I keep hounding Howard at NOC to get one with thighstraps so folks with hips (women) can get in them and try them out!

that's my two cents!

That would be a waste of several $k, unfortunately without the bulkhead, the handing when swamped totally goes, I knew of a guy who tried this, and changed back in a matter of weeks.

Pester him to outfit one for a feminine figure, and offer yourself as a uitable example thereof
