"i don't know if that is possible. I think some things would be able to transfer over but not sure if it all would. You would just have to compare it side by side with the new outfitting and see what would fit. I know the new…"

Simon Wyndham replied to Simon Wyndham's discussion Another sizing question, Diesel 70"Thanks Shane.
BTW, is it possible to retro fit the new Core Whiteout outfitting into a boat that has the older Whiteout system? Even if it is to get hold of spares such as the newer footplate?"
" Hello Simon,
I think you should get the 70. Yes it is a roomier boat in the cockpit but the Habitat is a small boat in the cockpit. I think it has more room becuase it was designed a…"

First of all loads of apologies for asking this question.Just about to put money down on a Diesel 70. At the moment with my yo-yo weight I'm around 64kg, maybe 65 with kit on.My current boat is a Habitat 74, but I'd like a Diesel to be able to have a bit more fun on lower grade rivers while still being able to use it for creek style runs.I had a go in the Diesel 70 a few weeks back as somebody else on the river had one and let me try it out during slalom practice. It was certainly a completely…See More

"Fantastic series. Looking forward to the eps on stroke concepts and momentum!"
Simon Wyndham commented on Juliet Jacobsen Kastorff's blog post Using Slalom Gates to be a Better Whitewater Paddler"I have recently taken up practicing slalom to improve my river skills. After all the whole reason slalom was invented in the first place was to train people up to run rapids accurately and efficiently. I have practiced in my plastic boat, both a…"
Simon Wyndham replied to KristaX's discussion Wavesport Outfitting"Thanks Kim. Looks like I'll have a while to consider things though as I see that the release date for the 70 is May next year, with the 83 at the end of this year.
I always have difficulty padding out boats, and it always gives a problem if I…"
Simon Wyndham replied to KristaX's discussion Wavesport Outfitting"Hi Kim, I'm 5'8 and am usually somewhere on the scale of 59-63kg (130-138 lbs) depending on the scales.
Is it definitely a Recon 70, or is it a Recon 73? As I say, the Hab 74 is absolutely ideal for me. I love that boat. How does it…"
Simon Wyndham replied to KristaX's discussion Wavesport Outfitting"I'm confused by the sizing of the Recon. I seem to be in the upper end of the weight range of the Recon 70, but on the Recon 83 I am below the minimum recommended weight. I know from experience with boats like the Riot Magnum 80, and the Shiva…"
Kim Becker (Russell) replied to Simon Wyndham's discussion Another which boat question!"I'd say if you like how it handles with the seat all the way back, keep it there.
I'd suggest the Project X for a play boat, or the Fuse if you're looking for a boat that is more river-runner, yet still has good ability to…"
Simon Wyndham replied to Simon Wyndham's discussion Another which boat question!"Hi Kim,
Thanks for your lengthy reply. I eventually decided on a Habitat 74 and found a good condition used one the other day. I love it! Best creeker by far that I have sat in.
Just as a confirmation, is it still recommended to have the seat all…"
Kim Becker (Russell) replied to Simon Wyndham's discussion Another which boat question!"Simon,
Take a deep breathe! It can be quite the challenge deciding on your next boat- there are many awesome designs on the market. I'll do what I can to help you out...
For your winter downriver/creeker, you have two options with WaveSport:…"
Simon Wyndham replied to Simon Wyndham's discussion Another which boat question!"Okay, nobody has replied to this. However I have now paddled a borrowed Habitat 74 on a grade 3 stretch. I loved it. Although I have been offered an 80 for a good price. I could really appreciate some comments from those who are below the weight…"
