NEWSFLASH... NEW DECKED C-1 FROM ESQUIF CANOES!!!

Post by Craig Smerda »

In conjunction with Esquif Canoes very own Jacques Chasse I'm excited to announce the debut of Esquif's latest addition to their vast lineup... a new decked canoe internally known and codenamed as the Shuu

Esquif has been secretly working on this design for the past three and a half years and they have collaborated with many of North America's top C-boaters to get it "just right". Here's a short video of Eli Helbert at an undisclosed location during a testing and R&D session... http://www.americanwhitewater.org/conte ... otoid_9949_

Shuu's should start rolling off the factory floor in Quebec' by the end of this week and be in your dealers showrooms and availible to demo within 4-6 weeks. We know this is the boat that you've all been waiting for and are extremely proud to bring the first production decked canoe to the market in many years.

I knew it was too good to be true :roll: . Although, right now I am very happy with a converted Pyranha H3 255.

New C1

Post by AJ »

I currently have a Taureau with the skirt option. I would like to see a designed C1 with a 7.5" saddle, but without all of the deck height of the Taureau.
