Lightweight Germany- Awesome Boat!

[tor*p*do]

Last week I was in Germany and was lucky enough to ride this Lightweight Germany custom flatwater backflip boat.
Carbon fiber and kevlar hull. Smaller and lighter than my SN
Where do I start? 701, b pipe, ADA head, UMI pole, SE trim, quicksteer, custon footholds.. this boat is the bomb!

lightweight.de ?

 

[tor*p*do]

yes!
de = deutschland = germany (in german)
we rode last week on the Rhine river outside Frankfurt
Major props to Batman from right here on the X
and lmi-step from pwc2day!
This is Batmans boat, he rocks!
Flatwater rolls and boat wake bf's!

That looks great, is that the one blowsion sells in the US? I think I saw one last week in a crate in there shop.

yeah the lightweight.de hulls are nice...
Jens had a .de hull on lake norman for a good solid season in 05, we rode over by the rusty rudder. Now if only the price of carbon would go down....

Now if only the price of carbon would go down....

Why???

Do you think the price of carbon has much, if anything to do with the price of these hulls? :lmao:

 

[tor*p*do]

I was told this was a one-off flatwater backflip prototype hull:beerchug:
but it looks a little like the hull blowsion.com is pimpin
I think he said retail was 8000 euro, so $12k is about right

 

[BATMAN]

I got it for a very very very good rate.

Now they`re selling it in germany for about 12000,- €

I only didi a few hours on it here on the river. But I think I`ll get the boat down to France, Motalivet for waveriding with Pierre.

But you`re right. it`s the same boat which Blowsion is selling in USA.

The winner of IFWA is going to receive one of these in Pismo.

I`ll definatelly be there. Who else ???

Saturday in Mosquito’s Village

Hi tor*p*do & BATMAN-
Alles klar.
It was really a nice day last Saturday in Mückenhausen (Mosquito’s Village) lol.
I will never forget the mosquito attack at the end of the day!!!
:beerchug:

that is an interesting hood seal situation they have going on there... I can't really see what is going on. Looks like a JSS style hood seal, then with a kawi 750 style seal on top of it. Care to elaborate torpedo?

yes, the mosquitos were killer at the end of the day.
But the beautiful sunset over the Rhine made up for it! :sly:

I dunno, never seen a hood seal like this one.
Here is a detail.
Anyone else know?

Very nice. I was in Seattle, WA for a few weeks working on a French/German construction project and made the treck to Blowsion for the day. Really cool looking hull!:biggthumpup: Hopefully it will require a follow up trip to Gremany in the future!!:bananajump:

 

[superramjet]

double hood seal, kawi and superjet. watertight and hard to knock the hood off.

 

[tor*p*do]

cool german sign:

 

[Boris]

That hood seal looks just like a car style trunk/door seal.

OK, everybody is oohing & aaahing over the ski. Yes, it makes me drool too. BUT daaannnggggggg, even though I love moonlight, that IS a beautiful sunset. Great picture:fing02:
