Nemesis HP Colors - VOTE for what you want!

Postby Alex @ Best » Fri Aug 03, 2007 4:48 pm

The Nemesis HP is almost done! We're waiting on a few hopefully final samples before we approve them, and this kite ROCKS! It out jumps the Waroo Pro by a mile, has amazing hangtime, turns super fast and chases waves perfectly keeping power through the turn and depowering to next to nothing whenever you want. It's super stable with light bar pressure and because of the Cuben Fiber leading edge, it feels and reacts like an extension of you. At least for me, it's the perfect kite.

But, what colors do we make them? You decide...

Black center with outside color?

Or Colored center with black outside?

Black outside makes it too dark ... doesn't look good on the water ... I mean, it's a happy sport preferable done when the sun shines ... when we were recently in San Pere Pescador (Spain) I asked my girlfriend what kite colours look good on the water ... she really liked the green, orange and pink ones (the ones on the right site) ... and I must say ... I agree with her :-)

i think the sun impact more in the black than the color and it deteriorates more quickly...

and the colors outside its look funny in the beach.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I think the black on the outside looks really cool BUT I would go for the colours on the outside because of visability etc..

Color outside with black center.

I fix bladders and before reinserting a leading edge bladder, I mark the FRONT seam of the bladder with a BLACK permanent marker. This way, when the bladder is reinserted, you can immediately tell if there's a twist in the bladder and avoid popping the bladder if it's twisted badly. It also helps with working out the twist without pulling the bladder a second time. With a black outside, you wont be able to see the marked bladder seam.
