Fast & stable surfski for a wide range of use

The Nordic Kayaks Squall is best described as a stable fitness ski. Fast and fun with great responsiveness in waves. Although the boat is a little wider at 49cm, the cutout on the side of the cockpit allows for a tight paddle entry and to paddle with speed.

This competitive surfski has an exceptional balance between stability and speed. It is easier to remount (re-entry in open water) than most of the other NK boats. The cockpit comes with new features such as a bottle holder, carbon side handles and a very comfortable ergonomic seat.

The Squall 540 has a short cockpit and fits paddlers from approx. 155cm to 195cm (5'1" - 6'4") and 50kg (110lbs) and up.

Also available in the more budget-friendly CarbonLite (CL) construction: NK Squall 540 CL

Alternative size option: NK Squall 580 CL / NK Squall 580 CX

Handling

These stats give you an idea of how the boat will handle. Each aspect is scored out of 10. Generally, faster boats are less stable and stable boats are less fast. However, you can only go fast if you're stable, so factor in your ability when prioritising handling stats.
