Hi Jeff.
I’m sorry I don’t have photos of the 520 but I can assure you that it’s hull is quite rounded. As such I don’t consider it to be a beginner ski. It is a great example of why you can’t judge a ski by its maximum beam. In my opinion despite its 52cm beam it is a (very good) low intermediate ski (or beginners K1 trainer?). Although I haven’t looked closely at the Eze I have extensively paddled the Zen which I think is similar to the Eze and exactly the same beam as the 520. The Zen and the 520 could not be more different. I’ve commented on this before so I’ll try not to bore everyone any more than I have. A quick search will find my previous comments if anyone is interested.
