## Specifications
- Length: 7.5 m
- Beam: 45 cm
- Deck height: 33.5 cm (estimated)
- Layup weights: SCS 14 kg, WWR 16 kg
- Usually paddled by: Confident ocean paddlers

## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 5–7 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 9 out of 10.

Modelled from published beam, length and deck height. Low confidence. Speed is our rating. Both are given at the hull's own design weight.

These ratings are Surfski Index estimates, worked out from published dimensions, traced hull shapes where we have them, and reviews. They are not supplied by the maker or timed on the water. How a ski feels depends on your weight, skill, set-up and the conditions, so use them to shortlist skis and paddle one before you buy. Method: https://surfskiindex.com/how-it-works/#limits

Evidence note: This band is estimated from published dimensions. Qualitative context includes 1 paddler report and 2 linked sources.

## Paddler weight
Estimated sweet spot 64–75 kg per seat, broader estimated guide 52–78 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Double ocean racing and downwind for two competent paddlers; too narrow for casual tandem use

## Hull
7.50m x 0.45m elite double built on the 62's cockpit geometry - same hump height, seat angle and narrow catch zones for both paddlers - on a long, narrow racing hull. 39cm hip width, one size, 0.9-1m seat-to-footrest range.

## What works
- Race-oriented double rather than a wide tandem trainer
- Cockpit carried straight across from the 62, so it feels familiar
- Light for a double at 14kg in SCS
- Both cockpits get the same ergonomics, not a compromised rear seat

## Trade-offs
- Nelo publishes no price and no Australian dealer stocks it
- Launched 2026, so no independent reviews
- One size only - no cockpit options for mismatched crews
- 7.5m is awkward to transport and store

## Generations
- 2026-present: Elite double launched off the back of the 62 solo, using the same cockpit ergonomics, seat depth and bucket layout front and rear. Nelo's second double alongside the much more stable 600 SS2. Constructions SCS (14kg) and WWR (16kg), one size.

## What paddlers say
- Nelo product copy: 'The Nelo 75 features the exact same ergonomics, seat depth, and structural bucket layout as the acclaimed 62 solo ski... The hump height, seat angle, and narrow catch zones are duplicated precisely for both the front and back paddlers' (nelo.eu).
