## Specifications
- Length: 7 m
- Beam: 52 cm
- Deck height: 33.5 cm (estimated)
- Usually paddled by: New paddlers

## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 8–10 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 5 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 3 linked sources.

## Paddler weight
Estimated sweet spot 68–79 kg per seat, broader estimated guide 55–82 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Flat water and moderate chop with two paddlers, including coaching and first-time passengers.

## Hull
7.0m x 52cm double built for stability rather than for racing: the maker aims it at families, coaching and taking a nervous paddler out in conditions they would not face alone.

## What works
- Stable double at a beam that suits mixed-ability crews
- Long enough to hold a line with two paddlers aboard
- Sold as a coaching and family boat rather than a race double

## Trade-offs
- Not a race double; a 46cm elite double is a different animal
- Maker publishes no separate weight for the double
- No published price

## Generations
- 2025-present: Launched under Oscar Chalupsky's own brand in 2025, built in South Africa. The range is organised by skill rather than by hull family: Tarifa and Waikiki for beginners, Maui for intermediates, Molokai as the first race ski.

## What paddlers say
- No independent owner review located as of August 2026. The brand is new and the specifications here come from the maker.
