OC-1 paddlers

Is it possible to remove the outriggers of an OC1 and use it as a surf ski? The hulls look very similar.

NO!
No. Your center of gravity is way too high.

That’s what I thought…
but wanted to be sure.



Thanks,



Andy

well
yea it can be done with some OC1 hulls… not sure which ones but I’ve seen it done, at least for a few strokes on flat water. I tried with a Huki (around 12" beam) and it surely was impossible.
