I don't have one, but does this mean there might be a new composite Nomad in the works?

Talking about composite creekers, Lettmann in Germany has just recently launched the 'Granate', a composite creekboat that will be available either in diolen or carbon:

TGG!

Composite creek boats? I don't get it. Didn't we get over those about 25 years ago?
I could see using a composite OC because royalex is such a joke. There is definately room for improvement in the durability of modern plastic boats. But I could not imagine a composite c1 surviving the hits that I dish out to my Burn.

Yes, Im working on a composite creeker . It would not be a nomad copy obviously for copyright reasons.. but its a good starting point.

Composite creekers ? Thats all Charlie Walbridge paddles and he paddles just about anything.

Big men that paddle class IV and up are the hardest on boats. Charlie is about 6'4" 250lbs. I think.

They will not hold up like plastic, but much better than royalex. Special designs and infinite repairability make them worth it to some people.
