C-Forum

Im sure this has been tried before and I don't possess the necessary skills or equipment but still I ask the question.... do you think its possible to chop and weld a wavesport x into a c-squirt?

I have a wavesport x sitting in my shed with no outfitting I paddled around with just a foam block under my arse and that thing is a slice machine.... I paid nothing for it and was wondering if I could experiment and learn to weld on it? or if that would just be a waste of time and effort

Some of them are crosslink, which isn't weldable.

the crosslink ones have logos like this:

Linear ones have logos in these locations:



Even if it's a linear boat, the chances of ruining it would be so high I'd recommend outfitting it as a c-1 and paddling it as-is.

If I remember correctly it has the crosslink markings so no dice......

Ive got my playboat c-1 already so I dont really need the beat up slicemachine hull to be runnable too bad thougt I could turn it into something fun to screw around in.

never see any c-squirts for sale either too much of a niche thing I assume.

Keep your eyes open. Acrobats tend to show up every now & then. They also show up on the Angst board.

Do what Jeremy said with the X, then go find a XXX to try and squirt. They are even more slicey. I have seen a few that were left on the driveway on a hot summer day and then had the car backed onto the ends (one at a time of course) and left overnight to cool. They squash pretty nicely.

Squash the crap out of it.
he only issue is the cockpit sizing ...it will be narrow and force you to sit higher.
Not sure where my old X ended up but Mick has the XXX (squashed) and Gumpy has the Foreskin (Foreplay - squashed).
All were a lot of fun.
Not true squirt but fun if you want to work the water hard. Go for it and enjoy! Working on a Zwo myself!

What about cutting it in half and seaming it back with gflex and kevlar tape?
