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.

Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.

Rated from the community chart's 48cm beam and 4m length against this index's own scale, not from a paddle test. This index's weight model was fitted on 5.5-6.5m racing hulls and is flagged as unreliable under 5m, so treat the fit band on this record with caution.

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

Paddler weight

This hull is built around a paddler of about 57 kg. It stays workable from 50 kg to 61 kg, and sits at its best between 53 kg and 58 kg.

Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.

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 works, and what it costs you

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

What paddlers say
