Compact length. Elite ambition.
A compact elite surfski for experienced paddlers, combining a 600 cm hull with a close paddle catch and a shorter cockpit. Choose from five prepreg constructions and green or pink nose colours.
The Nitro 600 brings the Nitro’s race-focused character to a shorter 600 cm hull. Its 43 cm beam, cockpit position and rudder placement support agile handling and wave linking. A 99 cm cockpit gives shorter paddlers a closer fit, with side cutouts for a close paddle catch.
