C-Forum

on the other side of the pond it's vice versa, the yakers whine about the little open boaters there are.... we open boaters and c1ers laugh a bit about the buttboaters, but just jokingly and in a friendly manner. The buttboaters on the other hand believe that OC's are heavy and unsuitable for the to...

what a nice thread, I haven't thought about making a list of goals so far well, it could be: - learn to feel, making that boat fly and glide smoothly, bringing on the speed - learn to read (the water) - travel far - rock it hard and an assortment of alpine rivers - mittlere Ötz (a river in the alps)...

what exactly are you guys smokin' ??? Must be real good stuff.....

what I would like even better would be a smaller L'Edge, that would be cool ;) or a Prelude with chines it's definitely a cool boat, but when not being a full sized male, it can be a bit of a problem in the L'Edge (yeah, I know about all the need for gravity and stuff and tested it already) cool col...

the only advice would be: test the stuff every paddler is individual and you might love a boat while your fellow - even with the same physique as you - hates it. How a boat performs is dependent on the paddler, too I am currently having a Syphon (though it's the older model). It's a good boat with a...

@Krikkitwars: I'm sorry to hear that....unofrtunately it's impossible to make it right for everyone ....maybe keep - later in the year - the ECBA summer school in mind? (no date yet, location probably Versam) keep me updated, though, when heading to the alps, I might join you for some paddling @ Kel...

next round! date: 17 - 20th may location: engadin/switzerland (inn gorges) camp: i forgot the name,will post that later in case of bad water conditions, the alternate location is Versam/Vorderrhein @ Adam: could you make this a sticky, please? still haven't found out how to do that myself looking fo...

thanks, I'll talk to Kris

there is no Mohawk division for Europe, is there ?


not really sure wether I'm really good enough, but if ever, I'd be interested

I'm a slalom paddlere and yes, there is a light and agile boat, but this is not what I compare to the L'Edge. I'm speaking OC's here only I mean, a Prelude, Ocoee, Viper, Mowhak Rodeo etc. does feel good to me. So does my not so lightweight Creek C1, loaded with 11lbs of camera gear plus safety equi...

I like the look of that welded SL Edge.....how does the unmodified L'edge perform for the lightweight adult paddler? - would it be best to look for a smaller more lightweight canoe? you mean the regular L'Edge as it is? Me personally I think the L'Edge is designed for bigger, strong male paddlers w...
