About the Boat

Translated from Spanish, it means HURRICANE. For the Mayans, HURACAN is the god of wind storms.

Our goal with the HURACAN was to create a design that would perform well both upwind and especially downwind.

When going downwind, after catching the wave, you gain more control and continuity compared to experiences with lower volume canoes.

In upwind conditions, there’s a smooth descent on the back of the wave, preserving the flow of the rhythm being imposed. The seat position raises the canoe’s edge, protecting the cockpit from flooding and providing a sensation of being ‘dressed’ in the canoe, greatly contributing to balance.

This model was designed by Diego Vale Designs alongside experienced athletes, and after water tests, they provided feedback that we achieved the goal of having an incredible surfing experience in the open sea.

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.

DISCLAIMER
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.
