Check under the links on the left to "OC Rec Boats", "OC Race Boats", and "OC2 Boats" and you'll find quite a few images of what you're looking for.

One of my personal favorites:

Beereddy,

I have several pics of my friends and I on Southeastern US runs. The pics of the tandem team paddling the Dimension on Sec. IV of the Chattooga are in the Jan. 2004 album labeled Sec. IV. There are also pics of Daddys Creek in the Emory-Obed system, Big South Fork of the Cumberland, Little River Canyon in AL (that one has a great series of the Dimension running Bottleneck III+/IV-) and many others.

Dear Beereddy,

Thank you for sending the link to your club. I saved it as a favorite. It's nice to know that our paddling community is so vast.

I know the Black Canyon of the Gunnison has been openboated, theres a pic on RMCC page, Also know that Upper Animas has been openboated, The guy was in an Ocoee. Dont know where any pics are, check out Colorado Creeks and Rivers Theres a guy on Lake Fork Of the Gunnison., in an Ocoee. Ive also heard a guy ran Gore Canyon, Class V. Are you looking for a good open boat? I just bought an Ocoee and Ive got my money on it , thinks its gonna kick butt.
Anyway if I ever get some pics out here Ill try and post.

From watching that clip of Paolo that Paul turned us on to, Triple Step is class V all day long- and the OC had a much better line.

-"Are you looking for a good open boat?"

I,m ordered Pyranha Prelude and its will come in March. Until that I ,m watching pictures and trying to understand what kind of rapids i'l run after...

Hey Beereddy,

There is a post on here talking about tips in paddling an open boat in class V. I downloaded it and intend to reference it occasionlly.

Tips for Paddling Class V in an OC1


Since you are purchasing a Prelude, you will need the speed. This article talks about how to get speed without speed reducing corrective strokes. Timeing and front paddling are emphysized as well.

This is a good read for OC and C-1's
