The Sprint Boat Page
Welcome to Atascadero Kayak's sprint boat page. We are
located in Central California. Generally we don't ship sprint boats out
of state from our stock and encourage paddlers to support those rare kayak
shops in their local state that are brave enough to keep these tippy rockets
in stock (like us if you live in California)! However if there is no dealer
in your area we can thru KAS Shipping that loops through the country about
once every 6 weeks. If you have never paddled a ICF sprint boat or modern
ocean racing surf ski it is important that you try one with someone that
has experience. They can be unbelievably tippy. For example the Eagle sprint
boat will flop over onto its side when you place it in the water! We try
to keep a few Nelos in Stock and a couple SRS boats. The new for 2007 Nelo Viper 51 is a
extremely fast boat for the first time paddler and is a great choice for
master sprint paddlers, entry level ICF paddlers and the adventure racer
(but not on the Ocean). It is a bit more stable than a Lazer and works very
well with its rotating seat. You can really put some leg into it and stay
right side up. I measured it at the 4 inch waterline and it was 18 3/8 inches
wide which makes it legal in the USCA Touring class! New for 2009 is the
Nelo Classic which is very fast and tippy compared to the Viper but a bit
more stable than the Vanquish.
We have one demo "Dart" which is based on a 40
year old Olympic design. It is very stable by todays ICF K-1 standards and
faster than just about any traditional "Sea Kayak". The Dart is
about one inch skinner than the Polaris and as a result is a tiny bit tippier
(not much) and about 2 seconds faster in the 500 meter sprint. For 2001
& 2002 the "Dart" was the favorite kayak of 10 year old Molly
Reeves who enjoys beating some of the local adults! The photo below shows
Molly at age 9 in a Dart "Expedition". The "Expedition"
version has bulkheads and hatches added - sort of a very fast flatwater
touring boat.
The following is s shot of Molly's current favorite sprint
boat which is a Viper
51 in sprint trim with a rotating seat. It is stable enough for her
to put her paddle down and adjust her I Pod headset!
