Fluid: Element Medium

Post by Matt'yak » Tue Jan 29, 2008 4:52 pm

So what do YOU know about this play boat.

This is what I pulled from playak.com

From Celliers himself on the fluid website:

What can I say, this boat looks awesome. It looks exactly like I wanted it. I know this boat is going to rip, I'm sure you will agree when you see the pics. The Element will be available in four colours, like all our boats. Yellow, orange and red, which are the standard colours. The fourth colour, which is a different special colour for every model, will be white for the Element. Look at these pics below and tell me it doesn't look sexy.

Also note the fins. I developed an adjustable fin system a few years ago, and recently started looking for a new supplier of fins. As it turned out, I found a company who developed adjustable fins too, and took it one step further. Their fins can have their toe in or toe out adjusted, like the original Flirt system, but the fins can also move forward and back a bit. On top of that, they have different fin disks that allow different splay angles too. Have a look at their website, www.4wfs.com.

The Element in the pics below is a pre-production model, we have to do some final tuning of the mould this week before we can start popping production boats out. The first boats will be shipped to SA dealers in the next week or two, while North America, Europe and Australia will receive their first Elements sometime in February.

Got an e-mail from Kevin and they have no current plans to sell this brand, I guess I will stick to my original plan with PacK Rat on the Wave Sport EZG 50. Which is great ride.... 8)

The Element looks pretty crazy. I'd like to see what it can do in Hell Hole. :wink:
Last time I checked, there aren't many Fluid dealers in the U.S. The closest should be Alabama Small Boats. Really nice folks. They spent a good 4 hours outfitting my Fluid Solo just right. You should check them out on your next trip out East!
