Overview
Nelo K1 Cinco: Every Detail Reconsidered. Every Stroke Rewarded.
The Nelo K1 Cinco didn't happen by accident. Every design decision — from bow to stern, deck to rudder — was made with a single goal in mind: to give paddlers a faster, freer, and more connected racing experience. The result is a K1 that feels less like a boat you're paddling and more like one you're wearing.
The inverted hull bow keeps the Cinco closer to its optimal trim for longer, reducing those unwanted heading changes that cost you time and energy when you can least afford either. Up on deck, the streamlined profile is so unobtrusive that the catch and push phase feels completely unrestricted — a new concept of total freedom of movement that has to be felt to be fully appreciated.
Six tailored cockpit sizes mean there's a Cinco built specifically for your body, not a compromise you've learned to live with. Each one is designed to put you in the most comfortable, powerful position possible — because a paddler who isn't fighting their boat is a paddler who's going faster.
At the stern, substantial support provides a quicker recovery effect as the hull exits the water, actively reducing both pitch and heading movement and keeping the ski running cleaner and truer. And the new deeper-profile rudder delivers increased heading stabilisation without adding drag or sacrificing turning rate. More control, no trade-offs. Just the way it should be.

SCS Construction comes with the cover and weights needed to bring the boat to ICF legal racing weight.
Custom Designs are available on SCS construction only.
