C-Forum

the guys here (Europe) prefer the location in the alps................

then I'll experiment in saddle height - it's just that another C-Boater adviced me for a high seat (instable, but good boat control), and a kayaker (no C-Boater, but German Master in freestyle kayak, at least :lol: ) told me to make it lower - now I'm a bit confused I did , and it doesn't feel much ...

hm - to do the armada in spain......sounds great at the first glance , but actually I didn't think this to be a good idea not for the location, but for the distance!!!! most people come from middle europe-and if they don't want to or are not able to take a more than a weeks holiday for the armada, t...

what's better for (perfect) boat control in C1 freestyle?

low or high saddle seat?

aspects of comfort do not interest in this case



thanks for help!!!

hi the other meeting is a two weeks canoe holiday in Spain, a friend of mine is planning from 9th until 24th may! Some others consider to come along - since they're all C-Boaters and armada "veterans", and many wanted to come to both meetings as I said, we had tried to find dates that take not place...

hi funkidreadz - your vote for Saalach is noticed (It's my personal vote, too :wink: ) @jakke: I have to figure out the date with the organisators of another meeting (because there are many people who want to participate in both meetings), wich will take some time. I hope I can give exact number in ...

Dear friends for the Armada to come next year, we (the organisation team) have three locations, and to choose one, and can't decide what to take this time: -Saalach, camp in Lofer (Austria, about 200 km from Munic) -Salza area (camp maybe in WildalpenAustria, about 400 - 500 km (not sure about that)...

Quel horreur!!!!! Ouch!!!!What are they doing! :o Is this a fake video or are they really paddling volunteerly there, smashing themselves onto the rocks? These guys must ne either stupid going this near to the rock or /and they're crazy and rich - I couldn't afford destroying my boat/canoe just for ...

I am very sorry for the people died and their family and friends suffering now. We should learn from them and always wear pfd's when paddling - at least on whitewater ! And except a few occasions paddling in a bikini on flatwater at over 25 Degrees, I even do when touring And avoid artificial dams -...

hm, I've got a marathon racing paddle by wenonah - sorry I cannot tell model name or blade with, but at least at the time I bought it, it was the only racing paddle model they had in store. I use it for everything from short sprints up to 15 h paddling a day and feel very comfortable with it. Though...

what lenght do I need for freestyle paddling (I'm 1,65 m , that's hardly more than 5 ft )?

and what blade size (I'm quite weak, so technique - orientated) ? Some swear on big blades to get a lot of power on the blade, others prefer small ones for quick action......I'm confused!


thanks for help!

What sort of paddling? in classic touring im a righty, but have both sides strong - and in my sit and switch boat it doesn't matter anyway in whitewater i'm a lefty - being nearly unable to paddle on the right (when C1, in C2 it's ok), but for me it's more worth the time to improve my skills on the ...

Congratulations!




(You're not bragging! being so thrilled when having learned something new I tell any friend around or call my best mate )

Are these kinds of PE-suitable glues available in Europe/Germany, too?

I'm working with different ones, but didn't found an adhesive working really well!

Thanks!

I'm not a true open boater (don't own one), but I have paddled several OC1's. The Spark was the most amazing of all! This is the one I would buy if I had the money ;), it might be fragile, but the performance in speed and reaction is outstanding! Almost as responsive as a C1, in my eyes. I didn't ha...
