Yes flying into Phoenix
Driving to Flagstaff

Yes renting rafts etc from a local Flagstaff outfitter. No suitable rental canoes available. Followed their suggested contact, but they only rent lake canoes.

Great news for Canoeing.

Wishing MTCanoes all the best.

I'm heading down the Grand Canyon in March and looking for a local boat instead of shipping an open canoe or C1.

So if you have or know of a suitable Grand Canyon OC1 or C1 please let me know.

I'll be happy to take good care of it.

Thanks

Let the fun begin.

You can approach this from several angles.

One suggestion would have to be a kayak that EJ Jackson paddled at the worlds in both kayak and C1 events.

Thanks for sharing

It's always great to see short and sweet, informative, free open canoe instructional videos online

Perfect timing, mid January. Nothing is flowing.

Welcome Maybe there was a time when there was a common progression for canoeists, some of us may have even experienced it, but currently I think there are many ways to make that progression. You asked good questions. Is it better to start in an open boat and work up to a converted C1? NO Blackfly as...

Thanks for posting.

This is great news for tandem paddlers.

Here are some links to paddling exercises. You'll have to filter out the kayaking specific exercises.

A Rough Stuff paddles have the right name.

Good points. It will work but be slow.

You've been pointed to a better option--faster inflator

I'd say yes

I agree with NickParker posting.

I've seen holes drilled through the hull of composite boats for airbag lacing.

Great news.

Have fun!
