Hey Hobie...
I am considering purchasing a Nomad this spring but am not sure what size would be best for me.
The weight limits for the Nomad on Dagger's site are as follows:
8.1: Paddler weight range: 120 - 170 lbs (54-77 kg)
8.5: Paddler weight range: 160 - 240 lbs (73 - 109 kg)
I weigh between 155 and 165 depending on how many bon bons I eat... but add boating clothing/gear I am sure I am over 170. Not to mention safety gear and sometimes self support gear/food.
I know you paddled the 8.1 in the Gore race and it seemed to do quit well for you... and I think... appologies if I am mistaken... but you are well outside the 170 upper limit of the 8.1.
Any thoughts on what boat would be my best choice?
Thanks
Alex
