New boat advice needed PLEASE 15 years 2 months ago #29156

Ive been paddling for about two years now in a Liquid Logic Scooter (a bit old school now) and its getting a bit mashed now that ive repaired it for god only knows how many times.

So i need a new playboat, something that is good for hole and wave play. Im 6 foot, one inch and about 70kg.

Any advice on a suitable boat???

Look out for a Bliss stick smoothy!

I´m 75kg and 1,92cm fitting perfectly.

Medium Fluid Nemesis?

No offense Adrian, but he is a bit light for a medium nemesis. A small would probably be a better fit.

And to be really honest, you should check out some medium sized boats of other brands. Like the project52 or allstar. Their volume would correspond more with your 70kg's. Whereas the medium nemesis works better for my 90+ kg's ;)

I totally disagree, the medium would be better. :laugh:

Am 6', 180lbs, size 12US bootie and fit the Bliss-Stick RAD185. It's got it all and total comfort. Great boat for everything but the steeps. Wouldn't hurt to give one a try if you can.

I tried the bliss-stick and hated it. Way to heavy for any one not made of muscle :P

The allstar is a bit out of my price range but the small nemesis and the project 52 might be worth looking at

Thanks :lol:

Wow!! At 31lbs the Project 52 weights a whole pound less than the RAD! Guess you can give up that club membership. hehehehe
