... notice if you are paddling at the upper levels of slalom racing. I have talked with many people about this. I have not had any problems with my Loco which has a flexible layup although I have experienced the flexing in drops and offsets, I just do not care. Isaac has also experienced the problems ...

... of paddlers. Ninja Pro is not a bad boat to own. It is the precursor to the Makao. Volume is spread out on it a little more than the Makao and Loco particularly in the stern. Try to get the build specs on it. If it was built for someone your size and the outfitting works for you, it could be ...

I hope all works out, and the Loco should perform well on that course as it was designed "so I am told" for the Athens course. I.E. big pushy water. oh wait, thats what the Charlotte seems to be. that's rad that your wife got a makao junior. ...

Let me take a shot at these items: Are people using a foam pedistal or the composite seat it comes with? I used foam for my Loco and Makao. I dropped a note to Gala and they said if I decided to use the seat to make sure I set it atop the foam insert the boat comes with. You will see ...

My Loco and a Makeo Jr. for my wife will be in DC in a couple of days. I need a little advise on outfitting. Are people using a foam pedistal or the composite seat it comes with? How about thigh straps? Does it come with anchors ...

... are a few things, but I am paddling gates in Denver right now, and nothing beats that because all of our rivers are frozen over. Tom- with your Loco, I just found out that if you move the saddle way forward, like 3-4 inches from the rear of the cockpit rim, the glide is way better, and it's ...

... to exclusively bow foward paddling styles, NO stern rudder please!, I imagine the need for them went away. I am just speculating. The Galasport Loco is probably the most stable of the current short C1s. Followed by the Gala Makao and Vajda Lizard. Add Novak in there as that is very similar to ...

... a very shallow angle, there would be a ton of volume near the end of the boat. but the boat is just so much fun as a cruiser. then again, so is my loco. Matt, the Loco was designed by Robin Bell who is almost as tall as you are. and weighs about 87 kilos. I was going to get the Vajda Lizard, but ...

... my legs are almost touching the front of the cockpit rim, and I was only able to addd 1/8 inch of foam. I think that I will likely order another Loco in a stiffer lay up because of where I paddle. the boat is definetely pretty bombproof, but our stuff is shallow. I am still at the stage of having ...
