PADDLE PROTECTION
Not all strokes are 100% perfect, specially
when applying maximum power, and
everyone wants to keep the boat as prisne
as possible, we developed an
adhesive transparent boat protecon to
discreetly protect the boat from hard blade
hits.
4. FITTINGS
How to apply
1 - Clean and dry the area well before applying the Paddle
Protecon .
2 - Peel the white paper backing o the scker
3 - Slowly lower the scker onto the boat and rub it in
place rmly with a squeegee or credit card to avoid air
bubbles.

4. FITTINGS
FRONT OR/AND LAND CENTRAL RAIL
This is xed at the boom of the boat, in
front of the footrest or/and under the seat.
It is specially designed to aach accessories
like weight kits or heel support.
It is 100% aluminum.

4. FITTINGS
T- BAR
It is the “steering wheel” of the boat.
The cables are aached to the T-Bar which
controls the rudder.
The tube has telescope length adjustment so you can set
it precisely for your ng in a snap.
Larger adjustments also easily available through the support plate holes.

FOOTREST
The footrest is an essenal piece of
outng on your boat.
It provides a contact point where you can
transfer the energy you get from your
paddle into the movement of the kayak
using all the power of your lower body.
Nelo footrest oers a few congurable
opons such as angle and depth
adjustments. And now it oers more strap
opons.
HOW TO REMOVE THE BOTTOM PLATE
By default, all footrests come congured with the full
footplate. To remove it you just got to
release four screws placed at the back of the footrest.

sengs for total confort and control.

By using the “middle” posion you can get precisely 0.75cm .
This may help you get an extra
comfort and find your perfect paddling posion.
0.75cm that make the difference
TIP - THE SAME ADJUSTMENT
Moving the seat and the footrest so it’s equal. For example, if you move the seat one posion to front, you need to do the same in the
footrest to keep the same distance.

4. FITTINGS
HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT POSITION
STEP ONE
Start with the seat in the middle posion.
In the middle posion the distance beetwen
the seat and the footrest varies beetwen
65cm in the S model and 85cm in XXXL
model.
STEP TWO
Move the footrest to t you.
By using the full or “middle” adjustment
posions you can get a large range of
adjustments opons.
STEP THREE
The seat plataform and the seat rails oers
a wide interval of adjustment opons too.
This and the footrest sengs allows the
ideal conguraon to the perfect paddling
posion.
STEP FOUR
Check the behaviour of the boat at
compeon speed. The bow should be just
touching the water. In a stopped
posion the bow should be under
water.
STEP FIVE
You should move your seat and footrest
together unl your boat is performing as
described at the previous point.
NOTE
This is just one of many methods of
nding the best posion, though it
always changes slightly from person to
person, but these are the basic rules.
Compeon Speed - just touch the water
Stopped - under water
Bow

RUDDER CROSSPIECE
It’s where the rudder cables are aached
wich makes it possible for the rudder to tun.
It gives a sensive, smoother control thanks
to the new design.
RUDDER ( Sete | Marathon )
It allows you to turn the boat.
Sete Rudder (6mm)
100% carbon. Ideal for sprint use.
Marathon Rudder (6mm) -
Specic for marathon. 100% Nylon
for impact resistance.
How it works
1 - Insert the rudder through the hole in the
hull.
2 - Insert the sha into the crosspiece hole.
The arrow on the crosspiece should point forwards.
3 - It only ts in one way, so don’t worry if
it’s ok. It will be.
4 - Tighten the rudder crosspiece screw.
NUMBER HOLDER
This is where you place the compeon
number or lane number. It is made of 100%
plasc and xed only with two simple nuts.
How it works
1 - Right and le rudder cables are aached
to it with knots.
2 - Rudder enters in the one way channel and it’s
ghtened with a simple screw.
How to replace
1- Remove old Number Holder from your boat unscrewing
old screws.
2 - Put the new Number Holder at the same place and
ghten the new nuts.

CABLE GUIDES
Are used to guide the rudder cables to the
crosspiece. They are low fricon so you can
have a smooth boat control.
RUDDER CABLES
The rudder cables make the connecon
between T-Bar and Rudder Crosspiece and
allows the rudder to work, so your boat will
turn correctly.
RUDDER ADJUSTING SYSTEM
It is used to ghten the rudder cables, in a
quick way, which allows the rudder to turn
beer.
1. Hold rudder straight
2. Adjust the cables at the new adjusng system
3. Unl t-bar stands straight at the middle
How it works
Thanks to its easy pulling system you just need to pull to
ghten or extend the rudder cables unl they are as you
want.
4. FITTINGS
NOT JUST A NUMBER HOLDER
You can use the Number Holder to x some
useful tools.
The number holder it’s compable with
GoPro mount system so you can place here,
for example, your camera or a Nelo
Waterproof Phone Bag.
It’s also a comfortable bed for your rudder
when you’re in travel.

During the transportaon use
it to keep your rudder safe.
