C-Forum

Looking to switch from an OC-1 to C-1. Tried to fit into a Dagger Redline. Couldn't get my legs into the tear drop shaped cockpit.
Looking for suggestions on larger, or square shaped cockpit kayaks.
I heard the Dagger Juice may be an option.

A lot of the slightly older wavesport boats (ace, ez, forplay) have interesting cockpit shapes with a fair bit of leg room once you are in them. I'm not sure if they'd be any easier to actually get into, but might be worth checking into.

From personal experience the Wavesport Score is roomy as was the Perception Ultra-Clean. They both allowed me tall pedestals (nearly 9") and had room to spare with my thick legs. The Perception Blaze series and Dagger GTX look roomy, too. None of those is afflicted with narrow cockpit syndrome.

See if you can find a Wave Sport Godzilla. The one time I climbed into it, with kyack outfitting still in, I was impressed with the roominest (sp?).

Wavesport Super EZ. Huge cockpit but it requires a special skirt.

I just converted a Juice and it is a nice boat but the cockpit size I think is the same as the Redline (34 x 19).

I'm 6'2" 205lbs with a 32" inseam and I didn't fit in the forplay my club converted, but here's another vote for the super ez, it's got all sorts of room
also, if you want to go the spud boat route, the kingpin 6.3 cockpit is HUGE (though the boat is a little sketchy, at least after paddling nothing but a cascade and an atom on the river)

The ForPlay has a pretty roomy cockpit, and I didn't need to buy a special skirt.

I'm 6'3" 205# 34" inseams with big thighs and I also have lots of room in my SuperEZ and ample room in my GTX. The Super EZ has lots of play, good in big water but not very fast for technical moves. The GTX is a great down river boat. Eddies on a dime. dam hard to pull off a good stern squirt without a strong eddie line. I would't trade either one of them.
