Rogue Kayak Rebel

6.2m x 43cm elite hull, the narrowest and fastest Rogue. Built-in wave deflectors keep water out of the cockpit and the brand describes the steering as deliberately sharp for control at speed.

Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.

Rated from published beam and length, not from a paddle test. 43cm at 6.2m places it in the race end of the index, alongside the Nelo hulls it is built beside. Rogue's own ordering of the range, Picaro to Forza to Viento to Rebel, matches the ordering the geometry gives.

Suits: Elite ocean racing and downwind; a hull that assumes a reliable brace.

Paddler weight

This hull is built around a paddler of about 84 kg. It stays workable from 74 kg to 89 kg, and sits at its best between 78 kg and 86 kg.

Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.

Generations

2022-present

Designed in Scotland by Neil Baxter with co-founder Micky McDonald, built under contract in the Nelo factory in Portugal. The Viento, Forza and Picaro date from 2022, the Rebel from 2023.

What works, and what it costs you

What works

  • 43cm elite beam at Nelo build quality
  • Wave deflectors are a real feature rather than styling
  • Two layups offered, S-class and Team

Trade-offs

  • Elite stability, so no margin for a developing paddler
  • Small brand means thin resale and dealer network outside the UK
  • No published weight

What paddlers say

Built in the Nelo factory, which is the brand's main claim to construction quality; no independent owner review located as of August 2026.Reported experience
