Carbonology Boost X Double
A 7.2 m x 52 cm double on a 39 cm deck with two 42 cm buckets 21 cm deep. Extra rocker in the nose and tail lets a relatively short double pick up and hold ocean waves, and the cockpit rails are deliberately low so a crew can get back on after a swim. Two soft-cover handles are set at the knees, at the weight-wise midpoint, so one person can carry it.

Layup weights
On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Family and mixed-ability ocean paddling, downwind with a crew, club use. Rough water is within its brief.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 96 kg per seat. It stays workable from 85 kg to 102 kg, and sits at its best between 90 kg and 98 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
The X-generation family double, and Carbonology’s best-selling two-seater. Low cockpit rails for easier remounts and revised seat ergonomics were the changes over the previous Boost double.
What works, and what it costs you
What works
- Low cockpit rails make a mid-ocean remount realistic for a crew
- Rockered enough to catch runs despite the stability
- Carries one-handed on the balance-point handles
Trade-offs
- 7.2 m needs somewhere to live and a proper roof rack
- Gives up real speed to the Zest X and Flash X doubles
- Best-seller status is the maker’s claim; no third-party review exists
