About the Boat
The Nelo 400 is the perfect choice for any person who is looking for an extra-stable and versatile kayak. Its extravagant design is specially developed to be a boat for all skill levels. With a stability level of 10 in 10, the Nelo 400 makes paddling easy for everyone, even those who never paddle before. As usual, Nelo wants the best performance possible even in an entry-level boat, which makes the Nelo 400 probably the fastest boat in its range.
The Nelo 400 is developed with special features for your comfort, such as an optimized seating position(no back pain) a controllable rudder, neoprene handles, a full footrest and a spacious storage area.
The Nelo 400 is available in 4 different versions:
– Standard
– Ocean: Equipped with a wave deflector that keeps excess water out of your cockpit and leg leash as a fall-back safety option if capsizing.
– Fishing: Includes fishing rod holders and two fishing bags for those busy days.
– Expedition: Enjoy your paddling moment with a seat backband for extra comfort, a front hatch for extra storage and a back plastic hatch for a real water-proof partition.
How Nelo 400 can help our environment?
Nelo has a commitment to the marine environment that, with the Nelo 400 project, has been translated into a partnership with Sea Shepherd which is a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and preserve marine life, defending the oceans’ biodiversity and ensuring that future generations can enjoy the benefits of the planet’s natural resources.
An eco-friendly boat!
To produce this boat we used 8.5kg (50%) of polyethylene, 6.8kg (40%) of recycled material and 1.7 kg (10%) of material reused internally as defective boats, surplus material, etc. Exclusive colours are standard in all the Nelo 400, since as they are 50% recycled, the colours produced will never be equal. In addition, it is important to consider the boat’s durability. The Nelo 400, can last decades, reducing the need to produce new kayaks and avoiding waste of natural resources, waste generation and carbon footprint reduction.

How to Setup your Nelo Boat
The Perfect trim
As with any high-performance machine, there is an ideal configuration where our boats are at peak efficiency, specifically with the angle of attack (pitch). This guide will help you trim your boat in order to be at that perfect angle when at speed.
- Check the table and images below to find the right measures for your boat size. That’s how you find the optimum static rending.
- Using a marker trace a small straight line, according to the right measure indicated in the table, on the bow for the static line;
- With the boat stopped, adjust your seat and footrest position so that the static line is levelled with the waterline. At that point is the Optimum Static Rending.
The measures we provide are for the median weight for each boat size (80 kg on an L, for example). So if you are on the limits of the boat’s weight range, the line will be over or under water, but the most important is that the static line is still levelled with the waterline.
DISCLAIMERÂ
These ideal trims were the result of real-world testing and CFD analysis, under optimal conditions: flat water, constant speed, no wind, and average water temperature. Meaning that these results may not apply to other scenarios.
