iPaddle has been appointed the New Zealand agent for Nelo Kayaks.  We are pleased have just supplied Luuka Jones, New Zealand's leading woman canoe slalom padder with a new Nelo K1 ML kayak for the 2010 Slalom World Championship in Slovenia.

What Luuka said about her new Nelo K1 ML:

''I tried out the Nelo ML boat today in Nottingham. I just recieved it.
It is great, I love it. It turns very quickly and I have a lot of control on the white water ''

To follow Luuka you can check out her blog at http://www.luukayaker.blogspot.com/

The first shipment of skis is due in October 2010.  Contact me if you are interested in Nelo sprint kayak, Ocean ski or Slalom kayak.
