Nelo 550 Surfski / Amazing surf on maiden voyage / 03.10.2024

Great wave you had to surf on there for a while:)! Sorry to read about the leak, must be frustratiing.

[@IamNothing82]

​@@larscrantz was maybe the most fun wave I had so far, and that on the first trip. Did almost 15kmph on GPS against the current, so abt 18-19 kmph real speed. These things can happen (apparently), so waste of my energy to something that already happened. Most important it's the way to solve it, but i have no doubt that's gonna be fine as well

@@IamNothing82 I'm glad to hear that you like the ski, looking forward to more films with it eventually...😎

@@larscrantz just found the leak, it's at the bailer.

That was great! The leak is annoying. I had a leak after I capsized because of a fishing line. It was just the plug that was unplugged. It was exactly the same thing: I arrive at the beach and couldn’t lift the surfski! Had also lots of water. The thing I noticed was more stability and it wasn’t slowing down due to inertia. I was shocked by the amount of water because it didn’t feel heavy when paddling.

@@kayakintro That's crazy... i also became very stable, but i thought i was getting used to ski already 😆. Nelo takes the ski back and make a new one and I have my old 540 back so i can still paddle. Everything good!

[@kayakintro]

@@IamNothing82 😂 I remember quite well the increased stability and I thought it was because I was mad at the fisherman so I was paddling fast. When I landed and tried to lift the surfski I nearly fell backward before dropping it. I only managed to lift the bow. It was a funny moment because it took some time to analyse what was going on!!
