cheers phil

I don't wish to derail but whats "ALF" and where is it?

Phil, I agree about not rushing things out before they're fully ready. I do think that manufacturers could handle the process better in PR terms though, as per my post above. If you think about a firm like, say, Apple, when the iphone was talked about, the market got in a massive tiz about it. They ...

...and not the Maximus. :lol: Richard, I think that if manufacturers gave clear time lines (ie under promise and over deliver) then people would be much cooler about it. This isnt aimed specifically at you but almost all manufacturers say "its coming...soon" without giving a timetable. If they know...

Richard, People will speculate, like it or not. It happens in every industry, it's just human nature.

I would like to know when the PE maxim is available though as if i order a "normal" one, and the pe one comes out, I will be mightily pissed.

Might be of interest to you guys - stats in the UK are that canoeing is growing at a rate of 25% p.a. How that splits into kayak/canoe I have no idea, but I'd hazard a guess that kayaking is more popular due to manufacturing presence (ie pyranha, perception etc). Whilst small manufacturers make c1 s...

Well I tore my muscle (pecktoral ?) lose from where it is attached to something at Phil's hole on the Ottawah up in Canada. Intense pain and couldn't lift my right arm for about a month after it happened. I still have a funny deformation. I never went to the Doctor ( I did talk to a drunk MD at And...

It's pretty easy to sit at home in an armchair and pick apart something like this. The bottom line is that it's not clear from the video what happened to the guy when he came out. He could have swallowed a pile of water, could have been winded, could have taken a big knock, who knows? None of you wh...

I agree - the maxim outfitting looked like a fantastic job. I think it would be a little small though for me, and maybe not that fast either. Mind you, if Esquif get their stuff together and release the L'Edge, and a bigger version at that, I'd probably have one of those just for the fun of it

Yeah Mohawks are readily available here. I'll see if I can demo one. I'm a thwart kind of guy, but I think for the useage this would need a saddle.

What's your view of the length? You don't feel it's a little long for creeks?

Hi guys Been browsing the forum for a couple of weeks, and a great and friendly place it seems. I've read all the threads about 200lb plus paddler boats, and most of the ones about boats in general. I've been used to paddling a c1, and am looking for a whitewater oc1 for both big water and what you ...
