Nitro

As fast as it gets!
Meet the NORDIC KAYAKS NITRO – the elite surfski that’s breaking speed limits on water!
This speed demon is engineered for the thrill-seeker who wants to blur the lines between fast and lightning-fast. On flat waters, it rivals a K1 and might just edge it out. But hit the sea or a big lake, and watch it truly come alive, slicing through waves and surfing downwind like a boss.
Its cleverly designed volume distribution, strategically placed cockpit, and optimally distanced rudder make the Nitro a nimble beast, ready to tackle even the gnarliest waves with grace. Revamped since 2020 with our slickest cockpit yet, it offers supreme freedom of movement and a plush seat perfected from years of hardcore testing and real-world feedback.
Choose your fit: the Nitro 640 for the taller crowd (165cm to 200cm+), or the Nitro 600 for those a tad shorter (155cm to 195cm). Plus, those side cutouts? They’re all about making sure your paddle catch feels just right. Bottom line – if you’re looking to top the podium in style, it doesn’t get any better than this. Ready to ride the wave of your life!

AUTOCLAVE PREPREG TECHNOLOGY

All our crafts at NK are sculpted using prepreg carbon and autoclaved to perfection—a technique that’s as elite as it is intricate. Not many in the kayak realm have adopted this high-end method, known for its hefty price tag and complex execution.

Thanks to the uniform distribution of material in prepregs and the meticulously controlled high temperatures and pressures in the autoclave, our surfskis and kayaks boast unparalleled strength while maintaining a surprisingly light weight.

The layers in each boat are fused under intense conditions to create an exceptionally durable bond, ensuring our kayaks are not only reliable but also built to last. This cutting-edge technology is shared with industries where precision is paramount—like aerospace and Formula 1 racing. At NK, we bring this extraordinary engineering right to your boat.
