Fluid Nemesis First impressions

About myself



Long time kayaker (12 Years), new to playboating (1 year)

About the test environment



Tested in a swimmingpool club session (will update after I've taken it down HPP

Review



First off, awesome.

Having fiddled with the outfitting (which is incredibly easy to adjust) I got my boat onto the water. The first thing that struck me was just how stable on the flat this boat really is. It also turns on a pin head, is incredibly responsive and doesn't try to pull you over when turning (like my girlfriends G-force). Rolling was equally easy and I was utterly impressed how much of an "active" ride it is. By active I mean that it is easy to get up on edge, get the nose under etc, the boat doesnt start pearling until you actively engage the nose. The paddler is in complete control of the boat! The boat is well balanced and easy to use.

Conclusion



An awesome boat, stable enough for a beginner and requires the paddler to actively play with the boat. Well outfitted and remarkably fast on the flat.

If you're in the market for a new playboat then I'd seriously suggest you demo the Fluid Nemesis, I'm so glad i parted with my cash for one and I'm certain you wouldnt regret giving it a chance. Only negative is tryig to get myself a set of foot blocks sorted out but thats just because of a lack of foam/time to get it done between pickup and use!

All thumbs up!
