Aloha,

Time to sell my Surfrigger OC1! I've primarily enjoyed this canoe for v1 sprint training, and racing, and had many good races with it. Pretty fast canoe! It's 24 feet long, glass/kevlar/foam core/epoxy with white gel coat hull and deck. Always stored indoors, and structurally sound with no cracks or leaks in hull or ama or aluminum iako. Recently completed some corrosion clean up on both iako, fitted the ama aft vent and drain plate with stainless screws instead of rivets, installed it's stock rudder with new cable (mahalo Shane Baker) and rigged them to the foot pedals with Mako style cable fasteners. It also has an open cockpit with sliding molded seat, with a bulkead drain for the hull up front, and has a nice spray skirt setup. See attached photos.

I also have the original paper work from Savage River Works to Bob Shelfer, the original owner, who purchased it for $2500. Asking $1500.

Please enjoy the following writeup by the Surfrigger's original designer, Kris Kjeldsen, who I had the distinct pleasure of meeting at my first World Sprints in Fiji, 1998, and at other races as well.

Surfrigger

The "Surfrigger" one person outrigger canoe was designed for flat water sprint races. Performs well in flat to moderate conditions. It handles well with or without the rudder system. The balanced deck configuration and bottom contours makes it easier to steer in a side wind or following seas than previous designs available in New Zealand.The addition of a rudder system means that anyone can jump in and enjoy the speed and lively performance of this beautiful canoe.

Few things match the thrill of canoe surfing on ocean swells , wind chop or easy breaking surf. The small volume cockpit stays dry in most conditions and is capable of being fitted with a spray skirt.

The "Surfrigger" also makes and excellent cruising/recreational craft with the addition of a deck hatch for stowing supplies and is very stable making it excellent for diving and fishing.

This popular OC1 was used in the championships in Suva Fiji 1998.
The Surfrigger is built under license by Diller of Salvage River Works. MD. USA 21561
