What kind of paddling are you doing, what rivers / grade?

Personally I like the Jefe but in the UK do you really need such a big creeker / river runner?

Nomad vs Jefe, hard choice so get the one you are most comfortable paddling.

In that case you have a very hard choice!

Go's without saying try both but the Jefe I found more nimble, good layup etc. I only paddled a Nomad once, it was good but found it a bit sluggish.

Hope that helps.

I love my Jefe. I recently sold my 05 model and upgraded to the BA outfitting, and it is the best purchase I have made in years. I love my boat! You should go with the Jefe! You wont regret it.

At 75kgs I found the Jefe good but could of done with more volume on the 4-5 rivers, I moved to the Nomad 8.5 and find it very easy to throw about and nimble if you are an aggressive paddler. Try both and again go for what you prefer
