Ensis 2022 Wing Foiling Package Breakdown
I think the creek seat helps to stop oil canning under the seat.
Its all about mullet and great boards lol
Thanks for the videos! Great stuff! Future reference, add some video chapters/marks so its easier to find info from all the different subjects ;)
Does the action plus have the enguaged thigh brace system?
Hi George, Thanks for bringing it to Manvers lake the other weekend for a demo. It was great to see you and chat to you about the boats you have available ❤
Cool thanks for the video!
The fusion 2 has a foam pillar forward of the footplate held in place by those two screws in the deck. The grooves in the hull help with tracking and give a bit more stiffness to the hull but can also jam over obstructions in the water such as rocks and branches which can be awkward.
Hi George, it would be interesting to see the hull. With the modified shape, were potential high wear areas thickened up? Cheers, Ben
Great idea Ben. The V isn't so defined that you should have concerns about a high wear point. Of course, Pyranha mould in such a way that kayaks are variable thickness. High wear areas are thicker than protected one, so the hull has more plastic than the deck for instance. Drop me an email to snowboard@roho.co.uk if you would like to see some more detailed imagery. I managed to snap a few before our test boat was used. George
I was hoping for some type of thigh lifter.
Hi Mike That's interesting and perhaps it is something you have enjoyed in a Dagger contour ergo boat? When these were first released our local paddlers felt they added a significant amount of weight, so outfitting is always a balance of comfort, control and weight. Hopefully with the cleat system and integrated hooker thigh grips the fit should be excellent for most. George
@@robinhoodwatersports1106 traded boats for a couple rapids.. wave sport recon i think.. definitely worth the weight for me.. Felt like I was fused to the hull..haha I started cranking it and asked what's this do? Ooh
Nice review; particularly the emphasis on individual feel and the importance of demo-ing boats to see what's right for you. I recently did this with several boats. The specs recommended I padde a Large, but the Medium felt way better, I went with this and am very happy I did. Im glad i tried before buying.
Hi Dave I guess this relates to the Firecracker you mentioned? If so, we are seeing people down or upsizing to achieve what feel they want, style of paddling etc. For instance, at 72kg I'm always a medium paddler so preordered the 242. However, I want the boat to be highly dynamic and playful, so have been paddling the 232 demo boat on occasion. George
I can see why it can't be retrofitted to other models, but it's a shame; especially as I've only just bought a Firecracker. Oh well, that's progress for you.
Hi Dave Outfitting is personal and I own a Firecracker too. I certainly don't feel the Stout 2 system if inferior, just different and it fits me really nicely. I'm no expert on the intricacies of boat development but would say this. The new hooker attaches to a moulded section of cockpit rim that isn't present on Stout 2 boats, so it seems the older moulds would then need major changes. Perhaps the seat could be more easily retrofitted but the brand would be against having a mongrel outfitting that had a mix of elements from Stout 2 and Elite in my opinion. Hope that helps :-) George
What are the ear peices called
No problem, we're here to help. They are simply called rocker/wanderer earpads as they fit both models. You can see them here: www.roho.co.uk/sweet-protection-rocker-wanderer-earpads
how much price
Good news! These are currently on offer: www.roho.co.uk/2023-sweet-protection-wanderer-ii-helmet I hope this is useful. George
Thanks for great review! I think I read somewhere that the side tubes are lighter 70 denier, but the bottom is made of thicker 400 denier similar to many pack rafts made out of TPU.
Some key information missing. Action specs do not have adjustable seats, so you are fixed in how far forwards/backwards you are, which affects performance.
Of course, thanks for adding this. We do have a number of customers that adjust the fore and aft position of their action specification boats, simply by drilling an additional hole in the seat. This is a modification from the standard spec but relatively simple to complete. If you have any additional questions please ask. George
How much for sale
nice speech selling the bike
Hola, te escribo desde España. Primeramente agradecer la información y el video. El casco lo usaría para pescar desde tierra en la orilla y entre rocas Tengo una pregunta, he visto ese casco y creo que podría cumplir mis expectativas. Necesito seguridad en mi cabeza, lo ideal es que se no tenga orificios y que disponga de visera para el sol. El casco lo usaría para pescar desde costa en el mar entre las rocas. Desconozco si el casco está construido para ambientes marinos. Desconozco si los materiales aguantarían la corrosión ¿Que opinas? Gracias por tu tiempo Saludos cordiales
I'm looking to paint mine and add decals. I know the company says painting could degrade the plastic, so I'm wondering what kind of paint and what kind of decal glue would be safe to use on it.
What is thickness under the back foot and front foot?
Thx
Are visors available for this helmet?
Not for the Wanderer, although it does have a small brim built in :-)
great review !
I tried the Wanderer with the Occugrip. I found that the ratchet mechanism releases and slips open on its own if you push with fairly minor force on the back of the helmet. I wouldn’t want this to happen and the helmet to loosen and slide forward or backward while on the river. Is this slippage intentional with the occugrip for a safety reason, or is it just how the design ended up?
What about the Loki?
Discontinued I'm afraid Matt. I know this will not be good news for the loyal fans :-(
A review without ever putting it on. Pure genius at work. Why even show it at all? You could have drawn a sketch of it.
Thanks for the kind feedback Brian. The idea was to talk about the construction, which paddlers groups it’s aimed at and how the helmet has changed since I purchased my first strutter some 20 years ago. If you have any specific questions I’m here to answer them :-)
I absolutely love mine it's amazing good review 😊
i fajnie
I dont believe they offer the action outfitting here in the us do they?
Cheers for the run through. It's always good to see the different models side by side for a visual comparison. I really need to demo the Ripoer 2 and Firecracker.
Pretty sure the firecracker has more volume than the R2
Thank you for this. I had a love/hate relationship with the Ozone, and regret selling it. Didn’t care for the Antix 2. Looking forward to trying the Firecracker.
No worries, we hope you found it useful. I personally find the Ozone a really fun boat to paddle that gives instant feedback on your paddling. I have no doubt you'll have a good time trying the Firecracker, let us know if you would like to take our demo for a spin! Joe
