{"product_id":"neon","title":"Neon","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA bold and surprisingly stable 16-foot ocean surfski that’s as playful as it looks. Conceived, designed and built in the UK with our partners Kirton Kayaks. The Neon is seriously fun to paddle. From coastal tours to fitness sessions and downwind blasts, this unique craft delivers with sharp handling and effortless efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7dd4914b elementor-widget elementor-widget-theme-post-content\" data-id=\"7dd4914b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"theme-post-content.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in a subtle classic light-grey and available in two models: the Neon surfski, for a stripped-down light-weight experience in Active construction, or the yellow-striped Neon GT for adventurers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e8ae628 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"2e8ae628\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-toggle\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-toggle-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"elementor-tab-content-7801\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix elementor-active\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-7801\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"\u003eHighlights \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"\u003eLight weight Active construction as standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"\u003eStable and fun to paddle \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"\u003eSuper stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"\u003eQuick adjust carbon pedal footrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"\u003eLong carbon handles for tow-handed carrying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"\u003eBottle holder recess with integrated leash point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1 wp-block-heading\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eOur mission was to design a surfski that would bring new ideas to the scene, be stable enough for a casual paddler, light enough for everyone to load onto their car, yet refined enough to catch and ride a wave like a surf ski should. Not to mention, be comfortable for a broad range of body types, plus all the usual challenges of kit storage, durability and safety. It was a painstaking process that took a full year to pull together, and another year in testing, but we are thrilled with the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eLet’s start at the front, because the bow is probably the most recognisable feature of the Neon. The clean lines at the cutaway swoop forwards and up, to a particularly full front deck. We love the look but it’s super practical too as it gives the Neon remarkable recovery if it becomes buried in a wave. Even with its compact length, the cockpit remains dry and the boat keeps moving.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e It's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e shaped in such a way to avoid introducing significant windage, and it functions exactly as we hoped it would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eBeing designed and manufactured from the ground up, we’ve had the luxury of introducing new custom lightweight fittings and touches throughout. Including comfortable CNC machined plastic bow and stern handles, a robust 4mm integrated leash pin, a self-bailer, a bottle holder recess and carbon fibre side carry handles – which are long enough for a two-handed grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eA drainage bung is located on the front bulkhead. We install a small breather tube here to allow the air to equalise and prevent damage in hot weather. There is a handy cross of bungees directly behind the cockpit that can be used for temporary storage, a tether point for an action camera or even as mounting for a waterproof deck bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe light-weight carbon pedal footrest has a huge range of movement, accommodating paddlers from approximately 150 to 193cm (4ft 11in to\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e6ft 4in) tall. It’s easy and quick to move, and the self-adjusting system means there’s no need tension the steering ropes after adjustment. We’ve also optimised the centre-of-buoyancy and rocker line, to give a huge payload range while maintaining excellent handling. It can comfortably accommodate padders weighing from 60 to 120kg (130 to 264lb) and will work well a little outside of this range too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Kirton Kayaks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56852191543674,"sku":"KRT-SKI-900-NEON-ACTIVE","price":3150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/9969\/5135\/files\/neon-side.jpg?v=1777646087","url":"https:\/\/oceansurfski.co.uk\/products\/neon","provider":"Ocean Surfski","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
