## Specifications
- Length: 6.38 m
- Beam: 43.5 cm
- Deck height: 36 cm
- Layup weights: Hybrid 12.5 kg, Carbon 10.5 kg
- Usually paddled by: Confident ocean paddlers

## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 4–6 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 9 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 85–99 kg, broader estimated guide 69–103 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Ocean, downwind and mixed conditions for taller/heavier advanced paddlers ~85-115kg

## Hull
Long, high-volume elite-class hull detuned for stability: reduced rocker and a widened seat give a planted all-rounder that still runs downwind. Built for taller, heavier paddlers wanting race speed with margin.

## What works
- Stable for an elite-class hull
- Volume and seat suit taller/heavier paddlers
- Reduced rocker: confident all-rounder

## Trade-offs
- Still an advanced/elite ski, not for beginners
- Only Hybrid/Carbon: premium price
- New model, thin resale

## Generations
- 2024 (introduced): Elite-class all-rounder for taller/heavier paddlers; widened seat, longer leg adjustment and reduced rocker for a more stable platform; offered in Hybrid and Carbon

## What paddlers say
- Oceanpaddler describes the Wahoo as 'a solid all-rounder' whose 'reduced rocker' provides 'a more stable platform that can handle a variety of water conditions', with a widened seat for taller paddlers (oceanpaddler.com)
