Do you prefer the Nelo or the NK? I've ordered the Nelo Viper 46 ski last weekend, haven't tried it yet, looking forward to it. Think it would be more tippy then the 540 I have. Should be delivered in 6 weeks.
As I have the luxury to paddle both I can say that I prefer both the Nelo Viper 46 and the NK Storm 570 but for different reasons. As for the above example with long big waves I definitely prefer the Storm 570, as for smaller and shorter waves I would prefer the Viper 46. Congratulations to the new Nelo Viper 46 btw, a very fun boat to paddle; small, quick and very easy to manoeuvre. I also guess it to be a bit more tippy than the 540, but one or two sessions with it and you're home:)! I'm looking forward to see some films with it...😊
Did you customise the colour etc? Looks like a great boat. I am translating Lars: It is going to be a lot more tippy than the 540 but after two weeks of intensive swimming class you will do fine and enjoy it 🤣
@@kayakintro haha, I think so too 🤣. I thought abt getting a fitness kayak (regular viper). But on the river that im on it's better to have a boat with an easy entry after tipping over. I can't get a larger surski then 540 because of limited storage lenght, so the viper ski will be perfect for the job to improve my balance and all. Yes, I did customise it. It's gonna be the same as my 540 only with a black bucket.
@@larscrantz thanks, that was I was thinking. I guess the nose of the viper is going under with big waves, or is it the rudder that's sticking out of the water because it's furter to the back?
@@IamNothing82 Yes, the nose is diving all the time in waves, but as long as the bailer is open I don't think it's a problem. I think it will be a fine addition to your Nelo 540, as the hulls are very different...:)
I thought you were going to hit the gate at the end 😂 Big boat wake again!
Haha, yes I was aware of that one. A bit annoying I had to break, that was a real nice wake to be in😊
