@AlexBarham
@AlexBarham 2 года назад
Dagger lists 145-250. Hannah wants to give this a rip, and she is 145 so we will see about the lower end, but I am doubtful. 250 as the high end seems about right, although it would be a squirt boat. We met a few guys paddling the Nova at 165-180 and that seemed ideal.

Have you paddled the Nova? I’m 5’11 165. Leaning towards the Nova. Guy at the store said I’d fit in the SuperNova as well but I’m really thinking I’d prefer the Nova. Mostly plan to learn and build skills on flat water with it. Can’t imagine I’d ever paddle it above class III so the smaller nova seems more appropriate. Looking for input from people with experience. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

@codychitwood2383 2 года назад
@@AlexBarham thanks sir. That’s what I was thinking. Super Nova was pretty wide and I think I’d need a tremendous amount of hip pad shims to get me in there and it would be much harder to get the ends down as I have little to no full slice skills yet. I’m on a list for the Nova. Who knows how long that’ll be though. Thanks for the response.

Hey! Yup doing fine. Made a resolution to only upload stuff that is worthwhile to you guys and adds to the community. Seems like there is a lot of nonsense going up in the last year that is just to drive views, and I don't have an interest in diluting my content or wasting viewer's time.

If you are worried about your contribution to the community: you could just Start the "Alex Barham Shred Vlog" Channel.

I’m so torn on a new full slice vs half! I’ve been going between the nova and Antix 2. I want to be able to run stout 3 easy 4 and play while doing it. How do you think the Nova would run bigger things? Thanks
@AlexBarham
@AlexBarham 2 года назад
Speaking for myself, I can comfortably river run and do easy creeking in the Super Nova. I'd recommend it over most full slices for that, but you're still bringing a spoon to a gun fight

God you made me feel old. "Modern chimes". In my youth we didn't even have back bands, and pillars? Those were things which held buildings and highways up. Seats adding to structure? Being able to switch out seats? How do you do that when it's moulded into your fibreglass boat? Looking at these modern boats, I don't know how we managed. If you were good at working with plastics it could be done with a T-slalom or a Topolino, but in those boats, a single piece of foam was an excuse for a foot rest, while in a fibreglass Phoenix boat a right angle chunk of aluminium sufficed. Caved in decks were something you just expected from time to time, and bad plastic? I knew creekers who had the entire spray skirt rim rip out on them in the very most unhappy ways. I can only look with envy at modern boats. How the world has changed, and so much for the better!

How would you compare it to the Ozone ??
@AlexBarham
@AlexBarham 2 года назад
For starters the Nova has contour outfitting, and a more robust construction. The Nova is wider, and has more volume around the paddler to make river running easier, and surfs very loose. The Ozone may be easier to cartwheel depending on the size you choose, and will be more crisp carving on big green waves.

The white is so sick! Would be hard to see upside down in whitewater, but it looks sick. They should just put a big red stripe down the middle on the bottom, then it become the sickest color ever

Nice one. I feel like the best part about this boat is how stoked everyone is to have a super high quality modern production old school slice yak out. Hopefully it makes a ripple in the Pelican board rooms. I def feel like I need both sizes, Nova so fun in Class III. Super Nova hard to throw down but a better river runner in the juice. I'm 170, prolly just need to get the big one and work on my technique. I did help a swimmer on Class III with the Nova. I grabbed her hand and tried to put it on the grab handle. It wasn't there. She got it but it took extra effort and reaching, even for the smaller stern, and she was probably 5'7", so should have been able to reach right away. Sold out everywhere, better stash away that 16 hundo
@AlexBarham
@AlexBarham 2 года назад
I think that at 170 a med rewind would be a better buy than a Super Nova if you don't already have one. Absolutely no idea what they are thinking behind the curtain. Hopefully they see high demand, instant sales, and higher margins as an incentive.

@@AlexBarham man from what I can immediately tell the outfitting , the foot block with the strap holding it together (very nice no glue making it adjustable for winter / summer paddling booties / etc, and the handling. Can hold it vertical until you get tired and it doesn’t want to fall over to your offside when coming out of a stern squirt you can just lean forward and it lays right out. Idk if I wasn’t heavy enough or what for the HomeSlice but I couldn’t get the front end down to save my life and the outfitting looks like it’s very cheaply made 🤷🏻‍♂️
