HIGH LEVEL FUN The new 550 with 5.5 meters long gives an incredible paddling sensation. The 550 paddles close to the stability of the 520 and the speed of the 560. It surfs the waves and turns like a much shorter ski but on the flat it still feels like a competitive boat. Due to its dimensions the maneuverability of the ski is better as changing direction and surfing waves becomes easier; the weight can be maintained whilst building a stiffer ski and for last but not less important as transport regulations become stricter one shorter ski can be transported without problem on a normal car roof rack.
