Nordic Kayaks Storm

Intermediate downwind machines

The Storm is an advanced surfski sharing the same features as our Nitro models, but with a little more stability. In experienced hands, it is a pure surfing machine that lets the paddler focus on hard paddling without compromising stability.

The new Storm 615 is here!
It comes with a number of improvements developed from our latest Nitro elite models:

•⁠ ⁠Higher rocker for quicker, more responsive handling in ocean conditions
•⁠ ⁠Optimised hull shape that maintains the same fast flatwater speed as the previous 610
•⁠ ⁠Redesigned nose for the perfect balance between wave-cutting efficiency and lift in surf
•⁠ ⁠Sharper front deck for improved water flow
•⁠ ⁠More protected cockpit for a drier ride when running through waves
•⁠ ⁠Updated deBrito/NK bailer for more efficient drainage and reduced leakage
•⁠ ⁠Integrated fixing inserts for our newly developed cockpit hood/deflector with watch holder — no more messy tape solutions
•⁠ ⁠Increased stability compared to the previous 610

Responsive, versatile, and fast in waves — and very competitive on flat water — the Storm is designed for both racing and fitness paddling. The new Storm 615 features a long cockpit and fits paddlers from 165 cm to approximately 200 cm and above. The Storm 570 has a cockpit 5 cm shorter and fits paddlers from 155 cm to approximately 195 cm.

Equipment

  • carbon fiber footrest with self adjusting lines made for easy length adjustment
  • deBrito (vs 3) foot controlled self bailer, the most efficient on the market
  • anchor point for leash on the foot strap
  • bike-bottle holder including NK sports bottle in cockpit
  • packing net on back deck
  • NK/deBrito rudder control yoke for optimal smooth steering
  • Race rudder as standard

Autoclave Prepreg Technology

All boats at NK are made with prepreg carbon in an autoclave. This is one of the most expensive and complex production processes and is not yet widespread in the kayak world.

Due to the homogeneous material distribution of prepregs and the high, precisely defined temperatures and pressures in the autoclave, the surfski and kayaks achieve extreme strength with low weight.

The individual layers form a very intensive connection, which ensures a very long service life and high reliability of the kayaks. The technology is otherwise used in space travel or Formula 1.

Model Comparison

„From the first moment I hopped into my NK Nitro 600, I knew it was the boat for me. What I didn’t know was 3 years later, I would paddle it 12,700km around Australia! In all conditions imaginable, the boat stood up for me every single time and the seat was so comfortable, I was able to paddle over 200km in one day at different times!“
