In May I got the Nemesis and had my first paddle on Hawaii Sur Rhone, one of my favorite waves in Europe with the right water level. We had medium/low levels but all moves were possible and anyway the spot was better than anything running at home. Besides we visited friends (had some local food like Quenelles, make sure you try it! Thanks to Romain and Kaki!), made some sightseeing in the old city of Lyon, did some sit-on-top paddling and checked out the most interesting Haring exhibition (www.moca-lyon.org). My first impressions of the Nemesis on a wave in short: The boat is really forgiving, easy to handle, very bouncy but still fast. The edges release really easily, so helixes etc. go smoothly. So here all the pics from the trip, enjoy:
