C-Forum

I have a XXX C-1 as well as a Forplay C-1 and an X C-1. The XXX was good for park and play or class II-III for me at 175, when I got up to 185-190 I had to stop paddling it for a while. I would consider an ideal weight range for river running ...

just FYI-

I have an already converted spooned-out ForPlay that I'm looking to get rid of CHEAP. At 200lbs+ it's only good for park 'n play- and I don't park and play. Hades, I don't hardly play, period.

I haven't tried a XXX, but I think the cockpit is close, if not the same as the Forplay & Big EZ. Here are some shots of my Forplay outfitting: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/wh20crazy/album/576460762349975259 Here are some shots of the hip pads for the Big EZ. They ...

... grey or organic over the white shirt, but I'll buy an XL of whatever you bring. Boats I can bring: Viper - full cut Acrobat - master cut Big EZ Forplay Let me know if you want to paddle any or all of these & I'll toss 'em on the truck.

... it. It's heavy, slow, and does not side surf, add to that the impromptu stern squirts at an inopportune time. I'd suggest looking for a Wavesport Forplay, X, or z; whichever size suits you. Boats are not that hard to convert, I'm sure you can find lots of help here. I know I've not answered your ...

... was hurting my old, feeble shoulders. I ordered a new 54" & feel much better now. I use 54" Galasport & Mitchells in my Acrobat, Viper, Big EZ, & Forplay C-1's. I also used the 54" in my Sequel OC. My saddles are 8 to 9.5" high. For flatwater I use a 52" Zaveral bent shaft in my Wenonah Marthon. ...

... back of the cockpit rim to your back. This is the critical measurement. It is where you will want the back-rest to be. Here are some photos of my Forplay. It's a real simple set-up w/ no holes added to the boat. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/wh20crazy/album/576460762349975259 You'll find many oppinions ...

Wouldn't that kill the wing effect? I'm thinking of how my Forplay, (w/ equal volume distribution on hull & deck) doesn't squirt smoothly. On the other hand, by Big EZ, Viper & Acrobat (all w/ more hull volume than deck volume) squirt very smoothly. The ...

good suggestions,

Big EZ, Super EZ, and Large Fluid Flirt.


i'm not a fan of the ForPlay or Score.

... Wavesport uses big cockpit opennings which are great for getting out of the boat. The Super EZ has a huge opening. I've got both a Big EZ & a Forplay. I love my Big EZ for play. It's great on a steep wave. This boat loves to carve. It has enough bow rocker to keep it from pearling on those ...

... folks than I will hopefully chime in on conversions, but you may want to check out the following: -Score -Big EZ and Super EZ, as you mentioned -ForPlay (if you're up for a "lower volume" boat for your weight). Searching on any of those boats should turn up a lot of info and opinions on them.

... paddling days for 06 she noted that at least a dozen of them had been in a C boat, all kinds of C boats. Prelude and Taureau open boats, EZ and Forplay C1s. The best part was when she said " Wouldn't it be cool to finish the year in a C Boat" I'm gonna keep reelin :lol:
