Sure, lots of us.  I'm just about to sell my Cascade C-1 and switch
to a slalom C-1 -- which should be a real education in edge control for me.
Hopefully I won't need to roll *too* much, because it's been a while
since I've practiced the C-1 roll.

And not to brag too much, but my C-2 mixed partner and I are having
a great racing season: we've even beaten all the men's teams each of
the last two weekends.  The Whup-a-Tar we're paddling is lightning-quick,
even if we aren't, and each time we race we're doing less and less
talking and more and more hard paddling -- our second run at every race
has been faster than our first 4 out of 4 times.

We haven't tried OC-2 yet, but we're thinking about it.  Since
both of us are decked boaters, we'll probably be quite the comedy
act until we get used to the height of the boat. ;-)
