C-Forum

Yea, the Shaman isn't a spectacular design, as it goes along with the probe really. I've only seen one Shaman on a small river in my area (amicalola), and it handled fine (he flipped once, but it was understandable). If I had to choose between the Shaman and Probe, it would definitely be the Probe (...

I'm afraid of being converted to a C-1er if I try it.

Maybe the best thing for you do to, vin, is to see what you can find then play around with it until you decide it's the best thing for you.

(Ambiguous I know, but I never know what I'm doing until it's done)

The Outside World in Dawsonville, Ga is holding it's yearly Boat Expo on the 17th and 18 of March. It's gonna be full of boating and boats and everything related! Although there will be an awful lot of kayak reps there (three from Dagger and so forth), you get a second chance to try an Esquif boat o...

Great, now I feel like I'm missing out on some fun...

BTW, the Detonator rolls like a greased-up alligator in a death roll. (I hope that imagery doesn't give anyone nightmares).

A good advantage of the Mohawk Rodeo is that it's lightweight... However, a Zephyr would be an excellent boat as well - well worth the $1600 price tag in the end; it's extremely hard to damage the Twin-Tex material (they let you hit a piece with a sledge hammer and it WON'T break). The interesting t...

I stand by the Ocoee for your situation. It's a dry baot and has good edges. Perfect for your size (I'm 5'4" 150 and I liked my experience in the ocoee). Good rocker and just right length-wise for pretty much any application.

Cool, I can get a pfd I think....

She wears medium-large stuff in women's - I think her stuff will work if she wouldn't mind

Cool. It may be good timing too - The Outside World is just about to order some, meaning your shipping would be less. Since it has to come over the border, customs likes to charge an awful lot - however, I believe it's a flat fee. When you're ready, let us know. If all else fails call or email me at...

I'll be coming up from Dawsonville, GA. My mom is willing to be a shuttle bunny, but I think it would be fun to OC-2 something with her (something easy, I presume). Anyone have any suggestions for a river to try this out on? The only thing we are lacking is a drysuit and some other gear (helmet) for...

At least you got a new setup...

Now I'm gonna be really paranoid about my detonator - i'm not gonna let him out of my sight.

I wish I had a fly as a back up....

Any idea what day you'll run that trip?

Also, thanks for volunteering; brave of you.

Anyone gonna have a spanish/super fly at this shindig? I'm very interested in trying one out.

I would never wish delamination on ANYBODY, for the most part. But I definitely am impressed by the ME, 14" of rocker and all. It would be awesome to oc-2 an ME. Nice crowd on the amicalola today, i agree. But anyways, there are many boats that would work for your situation. All I can say is that yo...
