Harpooned a friend in a K1 years ago when the bow was much smaller. No laughing matter. At the '87 US Team Trials a guy got stuck by a C2, broke two ribs
@@ChristelVinot I ride C1 only and it's just funny to me that you can see who started on K1 as they are trying to use the other blade which is missing on C1. Don't get me wrong, anyone who tries C1 has my respect as it is not an easy category.
@@vasekhor1 ohh ok. Yeah my kayak is converted for kneeling and I tried a single blade and it didn't work out lmao.. so I had to switch back to double blade, with a c1 seat. You need more skill to use a single blade... I'm not sure how they do it! lots of practice I guess. In the meantime I'll be paddling x1 style lol.
@@ChristelVinotjust lots of time on flatwater, also the british paddling awards channel has a bunch of videos dedicated to how to paddle straight in a c1
