C-Forum

Maybe we should take a poll of how many open boaters got their start in New Jersey! I live on Arabian Pines Farm, on Emmans Rd. in Flanders on the East side of route 206. I got my start paddling the Lehigh and working as a guide in college to make some money, now I work in Boonton for an environment...

I'm very excited! I have a C1 playboat and an ME OC2, so this will really round out my fleet.

I was looking for either the Fly or the Prelude and just couldn't pass up the offer for a boat that I surf all day in and still creek with!

Again, I am new to the sport of slalom so anything anbody has to get me started would be great!

I'm looking for a C1 slalom boat. PM me or email me if you have one available. I would prefer to spend $500 or less.
