Crazy 88 all the way:

Can you tell what I like to do on a wave?

Anyone tried the Project series? I haven't heard much reference to C-1 converting those... I tripped across this video and the guy seems to be having a LOT of fun with it:

But I'm not sure if that reflects well on the boat or just the paddler

The WS EZ series made and make outstanding C1s but the design is not current if you are interested in the new moves, etc. But, it is still makes a wonderful C1 conversion!

I have converted the project's predessesor, a WS transformer 2. I really like it but it is very, very, very slow. But from what I hear from kayakers, is the transformer is stickier in a hole, which I like cause we c-boaters do not have as much forward power to stay in a hole as kayakers do. Once again it is an older boat so I am sure there are better boats out there.

I've been having fun in the Bliss Stick RAD 185
Its not about the approach. Its about control in the hole.

any answer to 'why' part for those who got past the ez series? wondering about specific hull features that differentiate from other boats
