The Nemesis is so loose you won't believe it. And it's fast. For a buttbouncer, that is. If you really really want speed, get yourself an Element when it's in production in a few weeks time, but that's a completely different game of course. As far as buttbouncers go, the Nemesis is probably the fastest of the pack right now. And boy does it carve. When surfing with the hull flat on the wave, you barely notice the rails and you can just spin and slide around on the wave as much as you want to. But put it on edge and whoops, you have to be quick to catch up before it takes you right off the wave. The hull is super responsive, but still surprisingly forgiving. And it bounces. Man, does it bounce. You can launch this boat, collect airmiles, and have time to enjoy the scenery before preparing for landing. And it lands so well, it's a breeze to retain the wave. I love this boat. I'm excited about playboating all over again.

The volume distribution is perfect in my opinion. On flatwater it feels a bit more slicy than the Flirt (for me the best boat to compare it with, since I know it better than any other playboat), but in a hole it's just as retentive as the Flirt. It actually feels even more retentive than the Flirt, but I might be wrong. I just had so much fun in the Nemesis it's difficult to compare anything else to it.

As for the weight range, this is interesting stuff. Common knowledge dictates that a lower and upper weight limit difference of more than 20kg (45 lbs) doesn't make sense in a playboat. Well, here's the deal. At about 91kg (200 lbs) I feel like the boat is perfect for me, and I definitely don't feel like I'm at the upper weight limit of the boat. On the other end of the scale, Canadian C1'er Vincent Dupont, at about 70kg (155lbs) decided that the M Nemesis is going to be his playboat for the season after trying it out on a wave just outside Montreal.

Something that many paddlers will like is that the Nemesis (and all our future kayaks, in fact) has a shiny finish on the deck, instead of the rough finish like we used on the decks of our previous kayaks.

I hope everyone noticed the Nemesis logo. Cool, isn't it?
