Ignoring Mr Puerile for a moment - in OC slalom, what's the min height of the bottom of the pole from the water?

Is the drop zone c1 the same hull as the kayak? I ask because of the comments about the force hull being slightly different

It's not bonded to the hull (certainly not in the middle/cockpit anyway) so under tension of straps it'll lift. Lets face it, it wasnt designed to take the kind of force which could be placed on it by a c1er. Put it this way, you can stick a few fingers under it and lift it so not ideal for a strap ...

Not sure about everyone else but I wouldnt use the LL centre rail as a strap anchor point unless it was heavily reinforced and properly bonded to the hull. No way.

On Saturday I put next to each other: Remix 79 Jefe grande Xp10 The xp 10 is truly enormous compared to the other two. Has a really big cockpit and bags of space in it. Shane mentioned that the hatch might need a strap across it for bigger water, and I'd agree with that. The rubber which holds it do...

Looks really smart and nicely moulded. Be very interested to know about the volume compared to a fly, and what the BD timetable for release of this is.

Yeah I see the thought process in terms of a transition boat. Would have to paddle one and a remix or jefe to compare, then an everest. mind you I've not been in a kayak since 1985 :lol:

Hey Shane. Great that you've responded to this. What's the hull shape like in terms of planing vs displacement? and like d-caption, be interesting to know how it carves and what the edges are like. I asked the question since I paddle a large boat as a c1 (prijon hercules) but am looking at replacing...

Sea surfing in a c1 or oc1 is hard to beat I think. The higher position, longer lever, more ability to shift weight back and forth..brilliant. I once converted a slalom c1 to a surf boat by chopping off both ends, cutting a tail fork in the back and then pressing it together with epoxy, and using fo...
