THE MODERN UPGRADE OF A CLASSIC
The latest 500 model is completely redesigned from the ground up, while still keeping the spirit of the first legendary model alive. We’ve taken the 1998 original, almost 25 years old, and improved it where we could: on almost every level. Moreover, the new 500 MK2 is constructed according to our own incredibly high Olympic standards – 45 years of innovation and professional top-quality construction makes this a truly new experience on the water.
We’ve worked hard to make this expertise suitable for everyone. Plug-and-play without performance loss is the name of the game. The result is a modular design with redesigned rigging. Maintaining its skeg configuration, you don’t need to deal with daggerboards – the rudders flip and you can glide straight on as soon as you hit sand – it’s from beach to water and back again in a breeze. Literally.
