Allwave RS600
Six-metre, 45cm-beam intermediate race hull with strong primary stability for its width. Fine but forgiving cross-section that lets a developing paddler push power without balance anxiety, yet has enough waterline and rocker to come alive and surf hard on big ocean bumps.

Layup weights
On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: All-round ocean paddling and racing; a transitional/fitness-to-race ski that especially rewards big surf and downwind runs. Suits paddlers roughly 60-95kg.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 95 kg. It stays workable from 84 kg to 101 kg, and sits at its best between 88 kg and 97 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
Launched at the 2019 Allwave Cup in Talamone, Italy. Top of the RS transitional-race series (RS590/RS595/RS600); the intermediate stepping-stone that sits below the elite DNA line. Full-carbon vacuum-sandwich construction, handles at both ends, same seat/footplate/venturi/cockpit hardware as the rest of the Allwave fleet.
What works, and what it costs you
What works
- Strong primary stability for a 45cm race hull
- Comes alive and surfs hard on big ocean bumps
- Light in carbon layups (1K Brushed ~9kg)
Trade-offs
- Niche Italian import — hard to demo or resell in AU/NZ
- Slower and less refined than the elite DNA on flat water
- Layup weights are indicative and heavier in coloured builds
What paddlers say
Allwave Australia product copy describes it as a 'super responsive intermediary ski, perfect for all conditions but outperforms on big surf' (allwaveaustralia.com.au).Reported experience
kayak.love frames the RS600 as a reliable yet high-performing transitional hull for racers wanting to prioritise power and velocity without balance concerns (kayak.love).Reported experience
