C!- searching for used C1 to learn

Post by Arlene Crowell »

Hi,

I am an open boater looking to begin paddling a C1. Currently I paddle an Ocoee (Dagger)and love it.

Currently I have a converted Kayak (Wave Sport Z) that has been outfitted as a C1 and never paddled. I am looking for a boat with a bit more volume.

Please spread the word.

Give the Z a chance - it's a good conversion, though there will be the inevitable transition wobbles coming from an OC-1. For a lighter paddler, it should have plenty of volume to keep it on the surface. At 220# I could sink the ends in flat water, but I had to work at it.

has some you can borrow if you are ever near the Ocoee, some race boats some converts, and an Atom. I also have a plastic c-2 an older Hydra model.

Hi, Arlene. I agree with Scott about giving the "Z" a chance. It was designed by Wave Sport to be their big volume boat to their "X", another really nice c-conversion. Since you have it, why not? :D
