Overview
Nelo 62 Built to Race. Designed to Win.
The Nelo 62 was developed around a simple but demanding brief: build a true racing ski that excels where it matters most. Four pillars guided every decision — stability, control, toughness, and speed — and the result is a ski that doesn't just tick those boxes, it redefines what's possible in each one.
Fast, comfortable, and capable in all conditions — flat water or downwind, the 62 is ready for it.
Stability in a racing ski isn't just about keeping you upright — it's about keeping you performing when conditions are brutal and fatigue is setting in hard. The 62's carefully adjusted seating height and placement, combined with a redesigned bow angle of attack, allows the ski to absorb the shocks of the ocean rather than transmit them straight to you. The result is a remarkably smooth, composed feel even on the bumpiest, most demanding days — exactly when you need it most.
Control is what separates good paddlers from fast ones. Finding and holding the right position on each wave is everything, and the 62 is built to follow your instincts instantly and precisely. Refined rudder positioning, multiple rudder options, and a new 3-point support footrest combine to give you a level of connection and feedback that makes the ski feel less like a boat and more like an extension of your own body. When you decide to move, the 62 moves with you.
Toughness might not be the first thing you think about in a racing ski, but it should be. A rigid hull cuts into waves cleanly, surfs them with authority, and transmits a feeling of real, connected speed that a flexi ski simply cannot match. The 62 uses a single, purpose-developed layup that achieves something genuinely difficult — light, rigid, and durable, all at once. You feel it from the very first stroke.
And then there's speed. Because ultimately, a racing ski has to be fast — in all conditions, not just the ideal ones. The 62's hull design brings together every aspect of its conception into a package that delivers competitive speed wherever you paddle it. Flat water, downwind, chop — the 62 finds a way to be fast in all of it.
