Kayak Series names
To avoid any possible confusion about kayak models when looking at photos etc - all Neris hybrid folding kayaks (EG Smart / Smart PRO) have a Series logo on the front side deck and all Neris folding kayaks (Alu / Valkure) have a Series logo on the rear deck.
EG - you will only see "NERIS SMART PRO" on all three Smart PRO models

Smart Pro Series
Comparison between Neris Smart PRO S and Smart PRO XS
Single seater hybrid folding kayaks
Photo views
|
The red kayak in the photos is the Smart PRO XS, the blue and white kayaks is the longer single Smart PRO S. The Smart PRO S is a convertible model - can also be used as a tandem (with optional extra items).
Sizes can be deceptive depending on how the boats are viewed (EG camera angle and on which side the longer boat is positioned). The kayaks were placed together at the same mid point.
The shorter red PRO XS is 4.3m long, the longer PRO S is 4.77m long. Both models have very similar length bow and stern sections, the PRO XS simply has a shorter open cockpit length. Beam is 76cm vs 81cm, whilst the internal width is the same (smaller diameter sponsons in the PRO XS)
When deciding which model to choose that best meets your intended usage, consider whether you are likely or would like to use the kayak as a double (tandem) sometimes - if so, then its the Smart PRO S. If you are looking to use the kayak for off-shore camping / expedition trips taking along a fair amount of kit, then the recommendation is the PRO S. Tandem spray decks for the PRO S are available and this model has seat fittings as standard for both solo and tandem roles.
PS - the white PRO S did not have floor boards fitted at the time the photos were taken
