## Specifications
- Length: 4 m
- Beam: 48 cm
- Deck height: 33.5 cm (estimated)
- Usually paddled by: New paddlers

## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 6–8 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 3 out of 10.

Modelled from published beam, length and deck height. Low confidence. Speed is our rating. Both are given at the hull's own design weight.

These ratings are Surfski Index estimates, worked out from published dimensions, traced hull shapes where we have them, and reviews. They are not supplied by the maker or timed on the water. How a ski feels depends on your weight, skill, set-up and the conditions, so use them to shortlist skis and paddle one before you buy. Method: https://surfskiindex.com/how-it-works/#limits

Evidence note: This band is estimated from published dimensions. Qualitative context includes 1 paddler report and 2 linked sources.

## Paddler weight
Estimated sweet spot 50–59 kg, broader estimated guide 41–61 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Junior paddling, sheltered water and short recreational sessions.

## Hull
4m x 48cm short ski, the same beam as the Coaster on a hull nearly two metres shorter. That footprint belongs to a junior or recreational boat rather than a racing ski: the Knysna Guppie sits at exactly the same numbers.

## What works
- Short and light enough for a junior
- Same beam as the full-size Coaster
- Cheap second-hand

## Trade-offs
- 4m hull is slow by any measure
- Not in the maker's current catalogue
- No published weight or price

## Generations
- 2012-present: Aquarius has built kayaks in Poland since 1983 and is the largest composite kayak maker in the Polish market. The Coaster was shown at KanuMesse and went into production for the 2012 season as the brand's one surfski.

## What paddlers say
- No independent owner review located as of August 2026; the Coda appears in the surfski.info community chart and little else.
