"Nervurs?", we hear you say. "That small company that sell wings to the Frenchies?". That's right, "Nurvous". They've been at it for years, selling small volumes of French-made wings to French people, in French, in France, the French way. And good on 'em, we say. That was until last year, of course, when it seems they've decided on a new approach.
Last year, it seems, they took their first tentative step to widen their market and dabbled a toe in the English speaking world. It would seem the waters met with their approval, because this year they are following through with a full-on assault on the mainstream market. Oh yes. You heard it here first.
During 2009 they released their new lightweight mountain wing, the "LOL", and it now seems clear this was simply an early sign of their new direction. This winter, it seems, they will be rolling out a whole fleet of new wings.
The all-new Nervieous 2010/2011 lineup:
Their beginners model, the CWOT-AFAIK, already has EN-A cert & is available in all colour schemes.
The shiny new intermediate, the STFU-BTDTGTTS, is due to be one of this years top sellers.
Their sports EN-C wing, the FTBSITTTD, is already flying off the shelves. Red is sold out.
Their serial class wing, the WTF-DILLIGAF, is due to take the comp scene by storm this year.
The open-class, MTFBWY, has Blozone worried as it has more carbon than a Chilean coal mine.
Their tandem, the RUUP4IT, is due to become standard place at beach resorts all over the Med.
Last years mountain wing, the LOL, is already due to be replaced with their new ROTFLMAO.
So there it is folks, a short list of this winters new releases from those MOFO's down at Nervurs. Get AFK, go AWOL and take one for a test flight. It'll probably be a head-turning son of a bitch.
