Congrats! I look forward to seeing them on the river (especially as I DO plan on having a CBoats Armada next spring:) ). It will be great to have a boat for lighter folks - only so many Phantom's still out there, and though the Splash is a great boat I think it tops out at 115 or 120 lbs (though I'v...

This weekend... May 6, 7

Sounds like the Squirt Worlds will be fairly busy - should be a good time! I'm still planning on being in the area around Memorial Day weekend, and am trying to finalize plans and maybe camping. Right now I'm thinking of running the North Branch or something else either Sunday or Monday of Memorial ...

My favorites are old Mountain Surfs or newer Skirt Works. Yes, I haven't purchased one in a while. I do have an older Snapdragon that was custom made for the Groove, as well as a slalom skirt or two from them. I've always had a problem with them popping off, so they don't get used much. Not enough "...

That will depend on how you want it to paddle... At 160 (ish) or under it is challenging to get the stern under for a pivot unless you are very skilled, or crush the stern a bit. Still a nice cruising boat, except when the stern edge trips you up (I had a nice long swing in the Alley on the Kennebec...

Sometimes I wonder if a bunch of us should get together and buy a solo canoe (or two) for folks to use on the Grand Canyon (as this question seems to come up at least once a year). Any thoughts on what the ideal boat might be (other than one with a pump;) ) and does anyone have a place it could be s...

If you lay it up to be durable enough you may find that the balance of the paddle is thrown off - you might prefer to just let it be a bit smaller. That said, one trick for a nice finish (at least on one side) is to lay it up on glass (such as an old thick windowpane). I'd be tempted to layer dynel ...

Yup... I'm thinking that may be a good weekend... A day to watch (or paddle) at the Squirt, a day on the NB, and for us probably a parade (my uncle has an antique fire truck:) ). I'll try and decide soon so we can figure out camping reservations - I'm assuming they may be booked up already though at...

We're getting more serious about a Memorial Day weekend trip down, maybe a Saturday or Sunday run of the North Branch, then whatever. A bit later than in past years, but at probably plenty warm:) I'm sure lots of folks are at ALF, or enjoying the nice northeast snowstorm (18" here so far today), but...

The moderators were just discussing that... unfortunately as with the past few years it looks like it will be difficult for us to make it! I might be able to make it down either Mother's Day weekend (13/14th I think), which is one release weekend, or Memorial Day weekend (also a Squirt event going o...

Open or decked, and what type of paddling (you mentioned river class... but do you mostly play, creek, cruise, trip, etc...?)

I went through this a few years ago when i realized my (20 year old) Resin Heads helmet wasn't really going to do much any more than look pretty (LOTS of flex...). Asking around, particularly with the steep creek crowd, and it appears at that point "the best" was Sweet Protection. I found it fits be...

likewise -- AWESOME and Congratulations!!!

There is actual an OK image of the seat on the Gyra Max page of the CBoats virtual boat museum: https://www.cboats.net/c_db/list.php?type=1&alpha=G&boat_id=82&name=Gyra%20Max" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; One of the projects for this year is re-doing ALL the images now that we're no...

Every few years we seem to have a period of no new designs, a few companies stop making OC1's, and some new folks step in with new designs / ideas / energy.

It's nice to see so much passion globally for whitewater canoeing:)

And it's nice to have some new designs appearing again!
