Downwind surfski with great stability

The Rapido is the surfski model between the Storm & Squall providing a tight seat as the Nitro but has a wider hull for added stability. It has the typical NK Surfski characteristics but with a narrow nose allowing it to cut through waves. The added rocker gives easy maneuverability and together with a little more forward-positioned seat it catches every little swell, helping you to surf with ease. It has have built in carbon carry handles which is uncommon for such a narrow model and helps you to carry the boat while wet and tired after a downwind or race.

The Rapido fits paddlers from approx. 155cm to 195cm (5'1" - 6'4") and from 55-95kg (121-210lbs).

Also available in the lighter Carbon X (CX) construction: NK Rapido 595 CX
