Dagger Nova: Confirmed Winner!

[@gregorschmidt5316]

I got my nova 1 year ago and it is absolutely amazing! I progressed my slice-game by a lot with it

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

That's awesome dude! Thanks for sharing!

[@holmespun]

Such a great boat. Looking forward to the kickflip video!

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

Me too! Haha. It's been a long time coming!

[@HerbalTeabag]

that surf looks amazing and those air screws are crisp! 👌

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

It was a beautiful day. I'm very thankful to have this on the doorstep!

What weight are you you matey ? I’ve been demoing supernova which I’ve been loving specs say I could fit in , nova but demo version has big foam block in so my legs won’t fit . Find it so comfortable coming from a dagger medieval . Nice video

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

I'm about 64kg, and more torso than leg! The foam block is easy to take out though, so worth a try.

[@andynichol563]

@@MatthewBrookKayaking thanks , am 80kg so maybe the nova would be too playboaty for me if I could fit

[@sbaldwin21]

How’s the supernova compare to the ripper in ocean surf?

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

I've never paddled the Supernova, I'm afraid, but if it's anything like the Nova, it will surf really well. As to how it compares to the Ripper, they are such thoroughly different boats I don't think it's easy to draw comparison. One note I would make, though, is that the Nova is surprisingly fast along the wave (so much so that I'd hazard to suggest it is as fast as the Ripper).

I'm late to the party! Looking awesome man!

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

Thanks. Very grateful for your advice along the way!

[@DrRepper]

​@@MatthewBrookKayaking no worries at all! I just need to get better at following it myself... 😂

[@simonwyndham]

What were the surf conditions (wave height etc)?

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

This was about shoulder-high on the surfers, so maybe 4-5ft. But the wind was fairly gusty onshore, so the steep passes were rare.

[@simonwyndham]

Yep, you definitely need a carbon version 😂

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

Haha, perhaps!

[@MightTower]

Sheers Ollie🙂

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

I'll pass it on!
