Wave Sport Fuse C1?

Anyone have any experience with the new Fuse 56 or 64? Looking to ditch the old Pyranha and get something made in this decade:). Looking for a good play boat that can still run rivers on occasion? Has anyone c1'd this or can it even be done? Cheers. Also just opened a summer/fall copy of Rapid Magaz...

Its just how it goes, When I picked up my Phantom every OC1 guy I new hated it. But it worked really well for me and allowed me to push me harder than I could in my old boat. Same said for a boat like this. Works for me and gives me a little more edge where I need it. You might like it more C1. :wink:

Did you paddle last years? They are a rounder boat and not going to run like a skinny boat. Like I said I'm going to put a thwart in it and a full bulk head with dense foam. It will be plenty strong. Already put this boat through its paces and had no problems. You'd have to reef pretty hard on a roo...

FYI- Jackson says that the center bar AND seat are needed for strength. I've herd that too. The boats seem pretty solid and i've seen a few done this way. I've been thinking of mounting a thwart of some kind in my bulk head i'm building to give some extra strength. :) http://breatheproductions.com/...

Jackson Super Hero

I have a Jackson Super Hero. Got it at a really good price and figured it would be nice to have a bigger water/creeker c-1 boat. The bottom of the boat as a plaining hull same as the Fun, so it surfs great and edges well. The boat has more of a open boat feel due to it size(87gal).The one thing I no...

Just a little footage of a buddy and me on the Island surfing. Didn't do much filming when the surf was big:)

My taureau is pretty easy. I think a lot of foam just under the gunwales will help the boat sit flatter when it's upside down and make it hang up less with one gunwale low in the water. I had that problem with a phantom I paddled. I agree the Taureau is easy to roll with all the extra foam. Find it...

Esquif Taureau

New here First post. But I'd have to say my Taureau. This boat is amazing, a little worse for wear but when I need a boat that can do it all and get me through. It's the one.
