Aquarius Coda

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.

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. 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

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

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

Paddler weight

The estimated sweet spot is 50–59 kg, with a broader estimated guide of 41–61 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

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.
