Enjoy the downwind.

A stable, versatile surfski for downwind paddling, fitness and touring. The Exrcize 550 combines easy handling and an efficient paddle entry with a comfortable cockpit and practical carrying handles.

The Exrcize is designed for beginners and experienced paddlers who want stability, easy handling and fun on the water. Its hull combines less volume with more keel than Nordic Kayaks’ faster skis. Narrow cockpit cutouts support a close paddle entry and efficient technique.
