Allwave RS595

Layup weights
On-water profile
Modelled from published beam, length and deck height. Low confidence. Speed is our rating. Both are given at the hull's own design weight. How we rate.
Stability here means how steady the ski feels sitting still on flat water. Where two craft have overlapping ranges, we can't say which is more stable. Downwind handling is a separate thing, covered in the evidence note below.
Evidence note
Suits: Downwind runs and open-ocean paddling for improving paddlers stepping up from an entry ski.
Paddler weight
The estimated sweet spot is 83–96 kg, with a broader estimated guide of 67–100 kg. This estimate is a guide, not a limit. Seat fit, conditions and paddling style matter. Lighter paddlers can still enjoy a larger hull, especially downwind. A test paddle is the best check.
Estimated from hull dimensions using a formula fitted to makers’ own paddler limits. It does not establish the designer’s intended paddler weight. How this is worked out.
Generations
Added to Allwave Australia's range as a new model in June 2023 to fill the gap between the RS590 and RS600. Uses the RS600 seat ergonomics.
