C-Forum

Scud looks fun as long as your not going too serious, I dont like its lack of speed, I paddle a Magnum 72 as I like speed and enough edge but not too much, Mini Mystic looks good, the Burn is not a good C1 choice, too much edge for a C1 and poor transition between the edges amongst other things like...

Don't suppose it of much use to you guys in US but when in Europe last season I ran into some Czech paddlers, there C1 coversion was done by Boatpark (Czech outfit), they realy looked like they knew what they wer doing

I paddle solo lots, I recon it is better to be alone and know it than to think you are in a group only to find out you are infact alone when it turns to custard, I started through not having anyone to go with, often in Europe which was all new and I knew few locals then continued at home when I (an ...

I have converted a Magnum 72 and been using it for 15 months, my short evaluation is, nice hull pitty about the plastic...The Magnum is at the performance end of the creek boat spectrum, its a real paddlers boat, it is not for boaters looking for something really stable to brace your way down the ri...

Hi Taniwha, thanks for the information , unfortunately I dont think I will make the armada as I just arrive in Munich, please can we keep in touch, where are you? my mail is a.dickson@xtra.co.nz cheers Angus.
