Considering an elite ocean ski? The Nelo 560 is it.

The stability is very similar to the alternatives but it has possibly a lot more to offer.

Paddling Performance Review

The Nelo 560 is the latest iteration of the Nelo 560 which challenges the rules that say that typically longer skis have more wet surface but usually better friction. Even so, we developed the new 560 with reduced wet surface but with great friction performance, being so the advantage of the smaller wet surface overcomes a small increase on the friction resistance, resulting on a faster ski in all conditions. Due to its dimensions the maneuverability of the ski is better as changing direction and surfing waves becomes easier; the weight can be maintained whilst building a stiffer ski

Available in 3 sizes.

ML 75kg and below

L 75-90kg

XXL 90kg and above

Out of the starting gates the 560 took off, accelerating quickly from an almost stationary start to catch the first runner (who doesn't love that feeling?).

Nelo Surfski 560M

Developed for smaller or lighter paddlers. The hull is lower in height, the seat position and the cockpit have been adapted so that the paddler feels like they sit down in the water, rather than floating on top.

The 560ML has a low volume helps with handling side wind, maneuverability in the surf and makes it easier to remount. It's very light yet also stable, resulting in a great boat for all conditions.

The faster acceleration is a major plus for high-speed downwind paddling, when accelerating onto waves and linking is the name of the game.

The performance of the much shorter boat across a wide range of conditions is a surprise to me and most traditional sentiment, where the longer water-line length was supposed to lead to higher speed for less effort.

For sure, the 560 has to be paddled differently, as its far twitchier than the longer skis, but my perspective is that once you master this, it feels as if this boat will catch stuff (whether big or small) that you know you wouldn't be catching in your old boat.
