ChalupSki M2M
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.

On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Flat water and moderate chop with two paddlers, including coaching and first-time passengers.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 77 kg per seat. It stays workable from 68 kg to 82 kg, and sits at its best between 72 kg and 79 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
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 works, and what it costs you
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
What paddlers say
