LL Huck as a C1

Post by RyanGarnett »

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has ever made or paddled a Liquid Logic Huck as a converted C1? I have been thinking of converting one. I have turned a Big Wheel into a pretty sweet little play machine. I like the shortness and design of the Huck, seems like it would be a fun boat for the rivers in Colorado. Any thoughts or stories?

Thanks,

Ryan

I know a guy that had one...
It was great for us, but he didn't like it much :) :)

Basically couldn't get around any hole in the river, and couldn't punch though said hole either. LL Huck? we called it the Suck.

but then this is cali, and we have the biggest coldest steepest rivers mankind has ever seen. :wink:

Far from ideal, but I paddled one for a while and it worked.

We called it the Stuck...only ever seen it as a k boat, hole punch, speed and resurface all appeared crummy. Check this vid out, the Stuck truly lives up to its name! Great rescue vid to boot!

Its not about the approach. Its about control in the hole.
