Layup weights
On-water profile
Modelled from published beam, length and deck height. Low confidence. Speed is our rating. Both are given at the hull's own design weight.
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
Suits: Taking two other people out, including children and beginners, in real conditions. Team paddling, university and club events, hire fleets.
Paddler weight
Carbonology rates this hull for paddlers from 50 kg to 100 kg per seat.

Generations
Joined the fleet in 2019 as the SS3 Boost, based on the Boost X double. The only production three-seat surfski in this index.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The only production triple surfski anyone builds
- Deep 25 cm buckets and a wave deflector: genuinely built for passengers who are not paddlers
- Stability of the Boost X double at three-up
Cons
- 30 kg in glass, and 7.8 m to store and transport
- Needs three people to be worth launching
- A$5,000 for a craft most buyers will use occasionally
