Graham Seiler rollin into Frankenstein on the Green River<\/p>\n

So I will start out by saying that I was a big fan of the Ammo.\u00c2\u00a0 Now I know that the Ammo had it’s issues.\u00c2\u00a0 It was very edgy, deep high knees,\u00c2\u00a0 and not really that fast, but I still liked it’s down river freestyle capabilities. \u00c2\u00a0 Making the Nano spot on was super important to me.\u00c2\u00a0 This type of kayak makes most runs that I do on the day to day much more fun and exciting.\u00c2\u00a0 In the last 4 days I’ve done 3 laps on the Green river and 1 on the Raven Fork river both in North Carolina.\u00c2\u00a0 These are steep runs, but runs that I feel pretty comfortable on.\u00c2\u00a0 For example, the Green river is usually run in a larger creek boat or long boat, however the Green is full of great splats, rock spins, micro eddies,\u00c2\u00a0 4 to 10 foot freewheels (which I love), and a few little surf waves.\u00c2\u00a0 Having the Nano out there just makes all those moves more possible.<\/p>\n

For a typical day river running the Nano feels very fast for it’s size.\u00c2\u00a0 It has fairly low stern rocker.\u00c2\u00a0 This is giving the boat the speed as well as good tracking ability.\u00c2\u00a0 There is good bow rocker in the front and obviously a boat this length is easy to boof.\u00c2\u00a0 One thing that I was afraid of was tripping up on the edges of the kayak.\u00c2\u00a0 I found that the Nano is not edgy and very stable.\u00c2\u00a0 I think part of the reason is the more aggressive part of the edge stops about 1.5 feet from the back of the boat.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Surfing the Nano is very very easy.\u00c2\u00a0 Combing the amazing hull of the Jed makes it spin and surf super well.\u00c2\u00a0 This is going to make the boat very appealing for folks interested in some wave shitz.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The cool thing about the Nano is with the volume you will not get edged around on your way to that sick wave.<\/p>\n

Overall, I am super pleased with the Nano!\u00c2\u00a0 I have been charging pretty hard in it so far with now problems anywhere with the boat.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m heading home for X Mas then off to the Grand Canyon for 3 weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m going to be leaving out of the Fusion!!\u00c2\u00a0 Self support should be interesting.\u00c2\u00a0 Follow us here http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DemshitzDoesTheGrand?fref=ts<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Other than that I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a brown New Years!<\/p>\n
