Hafta say nothing at the moment really tickles my fancy. If I was forced to make a choice I'd probably go for the project, but that said I've been hearing quite a few bad things about wavesport plastic of late.

I would probably go for the Ronin as I am slightly too big for the vision44 and way too small for the 56!

Craig Rivett and i have been playing with the prototype and, man, its exciting. A few more tweaks and it will be ready.
Its called the Nemesis and it goes big.

Urge how small are you? I'm 5'6\" 145lbs and was in a vision 44, but got ina 56 bigfoot and was surprised to be able to flatwater wheel it and throw it around. Massive loops, works well for a smaller paddler.

If you can give the Vision 56 a demo, you aren't way too small for it. I rather think you would like it, comfertable but you can still throw it around.

pretty much the project dominates all...cept for maybe the ronin and the agent....other than that....it dominates. its the easiest boat to flat water loop...you hardly need any bounce....it maybe not be as good in the air...but its still easy to the throw blunts and pan ams...as well as huge phonix monkeys and mcnastys in holes...so yeah...thats my 2 cents

I paddled a wavesport project 52 at nottingham the other day. It is a seriously sweet boat, very fast and such a great feeling in a hole. Its too small for me tho, i'm about 5\"10, with size 7 feet and i was struggling to stay in it for more than 20mins.
I've also heard bad rumours about wavesport plastics, but the problem for me that day was the grabhandle, it came straight off in my hand when i was dragging the boat out full of water, and that is not a good feeling when ur borrowing a boat for a day. I expect its just a one-off fault but it doesn't fill me with confidence about wavesport designs!
Does anyone else know of this problem occurring?
