... there should be a build sheet glassed in (usually by the right knee, sometimes on the side, sometimes under the pad in my experience with New Wave boats). It is a slalom boat; I'd guess Fanatic II, but could be a Fanatic or Stealth; hopefully someone who paddled all of them and has seen them ...

Can any of you ID this New Wave C1?

Someone sell me a New Wave Viper C-1

Do it quick, I'm so happy right now, the feeling might wear off.

(Seriously, I've got the disease.)

... again or I'm going to go crazy. I was running everything in a Viper 11 but left that behind. I've got an Esquif l'Edge Lite and a 1988 New Wave Descender that I haven't gotten wet yet. Getting the last few things buttoned up with gear and outfitting. I'll have stories to tell soon, but ...

I have a sweet, almost perfect Terrapin sprayskirt and it seems just a little too big for my New Wave Descender. The rand is in incredible shape. I think it probably fits a bigger cockpit like the slightly more recent plastic C-1s like the Atom. Medium tube. I'll let it ...

My top two are the Viper and Sith. Neither are under rated. The Sith is my favorite for surfing. I've been asked if it was designed for my local wave. The Viper is fast, surf's well on the river and ocean, plus I can stern squirt it on flatwater. It's my go to boat for big, scary stuff. How many ...

Jim, my old viper was a winter port boat. After I cracked it, I picked up a used New Wave Viper. If I remember correctly, it's 10lbs. heavier than the winter port. I talked to Paul S. about building a lighter one. He said no problem. It's a great design, I just don't ...

... because it is much more suited to it. The SC will surf just about anything you point it at as long as you can get to it. The atom needs a wave with a bit more velocity or steepness to lock in. The Sith would have been another boat I'd consider but I've only paddled one once, Gonzo's in ...

... Regarding our place to stay, it's in the WW center of the Salza valley, Wildalpen, on the Naturfreunde Campground right next to Heli Welli, the wave where you can pitch your tent right next to it and play until the lights go out. Some "more comfortable" options within walking distance for those ...

... and I'd be glad to do a comparison. :-) I paddled the Hornet again last night - the speed is a bit intoxicating. I easily made a power move onto a wave using only cross forward strokes, where normally I have to switch hands to let me power onto that wave using onside strokes. Not in the Hornet ...

... as fast as my Fanatic on flatwater - I did back to back comparisons - the fastest cruising C1 I've ever paddled - no edges - forgiving on a surf wave but also not able to steer much by leaning the boat - turns pretty well, and extremely well for an 11' long boat - not as fast as my Nirvana but ...

... Whupatar. The Whupatar was a very good race boat, fast in a straight line, hard chines for very good carving on upstream gates or when surfing a wave. The hard chines and a fairly low volume tail come at a price; that being a boat that I wouldn't call twitchy, but you did need to be precise with ...

Is this still for sale? Could you pitch me an email @ momentumoutdoors@hotmail.com? Thanks

... Branch of the Potomac through Petersburg WV. on an annual camping trip and discovered that this boat with a 100#'s of gear and paddler handled big wave trains really well when the paddler was a few feet behind centerline of the boat. The Dead is a 15 mile run with long rapids punctuated with short ...

... the rapids a whole number easier than in our Vajda boat. Here are some comments after six days on the Owyhee: • The boat is stable, even in big waves and cross currents. • You don’t feel like an edge is going to get sucked down when paddling through boils – and we had a number of them with the ...
