New Robson Plastic Slalom C1

Post by the great gonzo »

Found this on the German paddling site Wildwasserboard.de.

Interesting looking molded saddle in the boat, I wonder if they are going to sell it separately for conversions.

According to the robson website they have now 2 dealers in the US, one, Hi-Tech Products on the eastcoast in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the other one on the West coast, Larry Christensen in Citrus Heights, California.

Armerlite is the same as Twintex.

According to rabson the boat costs euro 599 (US$ 860).
The saddle is euro 100 (US$ 145).

Those are the european prices, before shipping.

Shipping charges on a single boat will definitely add a sizeable chunk to that price. If there are multiple people interested, you can save a bundle if you can arrange to place a larger group order shipped to the same location. There have been some group slalom boat orders placed within the past year or two that have been handled this way, with a typical resulting savings of $200-$300 per boat on orders of 10-12 boats.

A couple of years ago when Endless River Adventures brought in ten Finks they ended up costing about $1150 each if memory serves me well.

Dear Mr. Christmas,

I am sorry that it took so long to come back to you.

I have now some prices for this boat:

1-2 boats: approx. 438,22 €
3 boats: approx. 448 €
4 boats: approx. 458 €
5 boats: approx. 468 €

Please bear in mind that those freight costs are only valid for the C1

Thanks to let me know if you have any further information.

Best regards,
