Its ocean lineup includes surfskis and outriggers, while its flatwater offerings address sprint and marathon racing. Boat categories also cover beginner, intermediate, expert and leisure paddlers. Featured ocean models include the 400 x Enaleia, 54, 57, 61 and 62. The company offers boat selection support, dealer access and opportunities to test boats on the water before purchase.

The business manufactures carbon products for partners in industrial nautical fields through its multi-brand hub. Boat construction combines carbon, epoxy resin and different fibers to create stiff, resistant, stable and comfortable hulls. Personnel receive training before performing their tasks and are introduced to company principles and policies supporting its quality standards. Manufacturing control uses fiber optic deformation sensors to assess boat behavior under specific loads, compare construction changes and analyze deformation in real conditions. Three-dimensional scanning compares produced boats with the original shape to check consistency and deviations. Nelo Rental Pro serves teams and athletes competing at races supported by Nelo Tour when they cannot bring their own boats to the venue. Four training centers provide coverage for Portugal’s three international airports.
