Can't you create a boat that's perefect for boatwakes, or what do you think what the best ski is suitable for this? I have the 540 and the viper ski. I think a shorter boat is better then a long boat, only the shorter boats are wider.
but it was sucessful :) the thing is that our small motor boat from production can´t get there and the image was terrible. Anyway, for bigger waves is more recommended our native surfski models starting at 510. 520, 540, 550, 560, Vanquish Ski and the Nelo 62. You can view all information at our website - www.nelo.eu
@@_nelokayaks haha, i don't believe it. Show me to prove me wrong 😉. Ik have the 540 and i just placed an order last weekend for the viper ski (grey, with a black bucket). 😄
We level it first. We use a own tool and level to do that, but if you're trying to do the same thing at home please just make sure that you place the platform we're it was first, or else, you will need to level it first
Bought two Chest Rotators. One for me, another one for my kayak club. Thanks for creating this video, and the Chest Rotator. It's a great tool for teaching people how to paddle. Love Nelo! 😁
Nelo: do you know if Aquaseal would work to attach it? That stuff seems to stick to all sorts of plastic products, and really doesn't want to let go. Also, for anyone doing this at home, silicone lube would probably help with cleanup--it works well with RTV, if you're for example sealing up between the engine baffles and engine on a light aircraft.
Many athletes lean toward the Cinco boat for the 1000m race, finding its performance more suited to their needs compared to other models. That's why we offer three distinct options, each developed with unique behaviours and characteristics. We understand that athletes vary in their technique, strengths and preferences, so these different models accommodate those differences. It's about recognizing individuality and ensuring that every athlete can find the best fit that enhances their performance on the water.
What type of paint or coating is being sprayed. I assume the boat has a gel coat from the moulds, but from my research and what I have been told the gel coat for a kayak/surfski can't be painted. I have an old ugly ski I would like to experiment with and was wondering what can I use to change the boat's colour. Also, do you clear coat after painting these designs?
Hello Vitor, ergonomics is something we take very seriously at Nelo. The Knee Pad is something very personal and personalized, so it must be completely tailored to each one, which is why the knee pad is sold like this and only then adapted to the athlete. This procedure must be carried out together with the technical team if necessary. We may also assist in this process at the athlete's request.
Olá Nuno, com 1.90cm não irás ter problemas em caber no Nelo400. Na verdade, o Oscar deve ser da tua altura, ou talvez um pouco maior e não tem qualquer dificuldade em ajustar o barco à sua medida. Se tiveres alguma dúvida acerca do barco ou de como encomendar um Nelo 400 por favor contacta o nosso responsável de vendas em Portugal através do email luis.ventura@nelo.eu.
So this an option instead of the heel support, depending where the paddler prefers to keep his heels. In the hull floor or in the footplate. Is this correct?
not exactly because the heel support gives a better support to the heels on the hull of the boat. But speaking only in terms of simmetry, yes. It will depend on the athelets preferences.
It’s a shame so much ingress water on this 400 that comes from the bailer. I know is prepared something. But do you know when is available? Many thanks
@@user-ek4yl2eb4h it's a lubricant. In this video we use this -> www.siliconi.it/eng/products/aerosols-production/lubricants-and-greases/sblocsil-54a1-eng.html, but you can use another
I bought a 510 surfski last year, and It was too bad to enjoy alone, so I made a club in the area where I live. the 510 surfski creates the best experience for those who are new to surfskiing. gracias!
