C1 Conversion

Hey guys,

I have a Kevlar prototype Riot Glide in my garage that hasn't seen whitewater in a while. I'm thinking of turning it into a C1. Has anybody done this? Any tips? Any good online tutorials? I searched the forum and came up with one link, but if there are others that I missed, please point me in the right direction. Thanks,

Seth

Go to a race or a rodeo and find the C boaters. I think you'll benefit from seeing some upclose.

they used to have a C1 foam kit on this site. Check it out. I have had 2 C1's I tried to outfit one myself that totally sucked. I bought a new last summer outfitted by a master and it was totally worth paying for someone else's expertise.

After the weekend I can take some photos and post.

Eskimo, Prijon, Robson and Bliss-Sick are such brands that they are possible to order complete C1's . The price for a complete C1 is approximately the same as the kayak price.

Thanks guys. I'll look into a few of those options. Angelina, do they sell the C1 kits for their boats separate of their boats? I'd really rather not buy a new boat, I have plenty of boats already.
