520

Nelo surfski 540 xxl
Meet the 520 – the perfect surfski for those who are new to paddling or are looking for some extra stability on those really rough days. Just like our flagship 560, the 520 is designed for zippy downwind runs and smooth paddling on flat water. The new side handles make it incredibly easy to carry. The 520 offers comfort and speed in all water conditions, thanks to its dimensions that enhance maneuverability and make changing direction and surfing waves a breeze. Plus, it’s shorter length means it’s easy to transport on a standard car roof rack, perfect for those who need to comply with stricter transportation regulations.
