Do you have any idea why the Nomad has had much more extensive damage to the bottom than the Microraft, especially since it's been used much less? Thank you.
Hi, and thanks for your comment! I have been wondering about the same thing and my suspicion is that it has to do with the weight distribution. On the Nomad I sit in the middle and it might cause the bottom to sag lower in the water than in the "traditional" packrafts like the Microraft or the Rebel 2K. This could be the cause of more damage to the bottom from the rocks. Also if the Nomad loses air it will start to sag even more as it needs more air pressure.
@@janikatajisto Thanks for getting back to me. Your explanation does make sense. I guess it would be best to try to avoid having the bottom hit rocks or even the river bottom, but that's not really practical I guess, always having to think about that.

Beautiful area and nice kayak trip! Hello from Texas!
Wonderful nature and really nice the view sailing in the river! I came back to Italy 10 days ago and I already miss Finland 😀
Ajattelin kokeilla ensi kesänä ainakin Mouhijärvi-Otamus -välin👍 Pääsikö ihan menemään vai oliko paljon pajukkoa tiellä tms?
Moro,
kyllä sieltä läpi pääsi. Kertaakaan ei tarvinnut maan kautta kiertää, vaikka hiukan pusikkoakin oli.
