Nordic Kayaks Exrcize
Wider (54cm), higher-volume entry/fitness hull built on the same design language as Nordic's race skis but with more keel and forgiving secondary stability. Pre-preg carbon keeps it light for a stable boat. Tracks and surfs better than most beginner skis.

Layup weights
On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Flatwater fitness, first downwind runs, easy touring, mixed light-to-moderate conditions
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 97 kg. It stays workable from 86 kg to 103 kg, and sits at its best between 91 kg and 99 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
Nordic's entry/fitness ski; single hull length (~5.5m), pre-preg carbon construction shared with the race range but wider and higher-volume.
What works, and what it costs you
What works
- Stable, forgiving entry hull that still tracks and surfs
- Full pre-preg carbon, light for a stable ski (~9-11.5kg)
- Same design lineage as Nordic's race skis
Trade-offs
- Premium carbon-only pricing for a beginner ski
- Slower than the Squall/Nitro race hulls
- Thin second-hand market in Australia
What paddlers say
Nordic Kayaks product copy: the Exrcize is 'easy to paddle, stable and entertaining... for sports, races and easy tours', built on the same principles as faster skis with less volume and more keel (nordickayaks.com).Reported experience
