1) I completely agree that power is the best unit to use. However, without multiple runs, the results here may not be meaningful. It isn't the only option to produce robust results (we have used the 'stroke index' for this too but granted, power output is superior).Helldiver wrote: 1) It's way, way better then almost all the other tests where paddler is testing different boats and comparing speed "while doing approximately the same effort", because holding that's next to impossible (fatigue, seating position, stability...) and the only way to control that is with power sensor.
2) In the cycling community, there is an established protocol for testing the aero properties of the bike (or rather bike-rider combo, since rider/riding position is more important) in real-time conditions called R. Chung method where you can very accurately predict real CdA value.

Deg wrote: Hi there! Has anyone managed to ry out the Nelo 540 in downwind conditions? I've been paddling a Nelo Viper 556 ski for the past two years and am considering whether to but the new Nelo 520 or 540. My dilemma is that the 520 provides lots of stability and would make downwind fun (without having to worry too much about falling over), however I consider myself a beginner/intermediate paddler and think that the 540 will allow more opportunity to grow (since I think it is a little less stable than the viper ski I am using)....
I mostly enjoy downwinds, so question is, will it be too unstable in big waves, or will I get used to the (in)stability with enough practice?
Thanks!
Isaac

Looking at the Nelo website the new 560 XXL shows a 46 cm width and my previous version 560L is listed at 45 cm; anyone know if that's true that the large 560s are now wider? I like my current 560 but some more primary stability would be nice and I like the idea behind the new hull shape. I realize it's probably earlier for many comparisons but anyone tried both? Thanks.
