Squall 580 | Squall 540
The Squall is best described as a stable fitness ski. Fast and fun with great responsiveness in waves. Although the boat is a little more wide at 49cm, it is possible to use the paddle more closely and at a high basic speed.
This competitive surfski has an exceptional balance between stability and speed.
It is easier to remount (re-entry into open water) than most of the others and has a wide, comfortable seat that is also suitable for narrow hips.
The Squall 580 has the long cockpit and fits paddlers from 165cm to approx. 200cm and more. The Squall 540 has the short cockpit and fits paddlers from approx. 155cm to 195cm.
Construction and Design
Autoclave Prepreg Technology – All boats and paddles at NK are made with prepreg carbon in an autoclave. This is one of the most expensive and complex production processes and is not yet widespread in the kayak world. Due to the homogeneous material distribution of prepregs and the high, precisely defined temperatures and pressures in the autoclave, the boats and paddles achieve extreme strength with low weight. The individual layers form a very intensive connection, which ensures a very long service life and high reliability of the boats. The technology is otherwise used in space travel or Formula 1.
