Ok, found the camera and got it talking to the computer.

Posted more photos at: http://www.canoecolorado.com/Cboats (Sorry no action shots, just found the camera).

This is the prototype with the saddle held in with velcro. Haven't yet added the third thwart, but ignoring the outfitting it gives you a chance to see the lines.

Esquif has added some specs to their site at:

Nece boat. Looks slightly cab forward at the waterline. Should track well with speed. A beginner could stall on eddy lines and spin out. Appears to be of an advanced skills boat in nature.

The Futura Inferno is an older 21' carbon surf ski. Just bought one for a balance boat, and it was sitting on the trailer in the background.

Hmmm.... Went to a blank page for me as well. I suspect since Esquif was still working on the site, they took it off until it was finished.
