Nelo (MAR Kayaks Ltda) is a Portuguese company that designs and manufactures kayaks and canoes.[1]
Nelo was founded in 1978 by Manuel Alberto Ramos (known as Nelo by his friends and family), a former paddler himself and the first Portuguese Canoeing National Champion.[2]
The original focus on canoeing expanded into other water sports as well, most notably the manufacturing of rowing shells.[3]
