Everyone Loves the Nelo 540!
The 540 is a brand-new ski model for adventurous paddlers who still want the stability of the 520 but with more acceleration.
The brand new 540 bridges the gap between our most stable surfskis and our fastest surfskis. While almost as stable as the 520, but with a speed boost, it is a perfect way to gain entry into performance surfski paddling and racing. Experienced paddlers will appreciate the ability to retain a sleek, but more stable hull, for cold weather paddling and unpredictable water conditions.
What paddlers are saying about the 540
The Nelo 540 is a surfski that is making everyone happy. Make no mistake this is a fast boat with performance paddlers in mind. Experienced paddlers who are looking for a racing or fitness boat that prioritizes stability, as well as new paddlers who also want to be fast and stable, are all impressed with the 540. In this class of surfskis, the 540 outperforms competitors due to its speed, stability, and Nelo bucket comfort.
