Try putting this request on the Reading canoe club website. The flatwater paddlers are more into their paddling machines, something to do with not wanting to get their hair wet I think.

Good luck.

If you are ever at HPP, there are atleast 3 makes of kayak ergo kicking around the various gym and testing areas in the new building. And specific C1 sprint (flatwater) ergo's do exist - there is also one of them at HPP.
