On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Ocean racing and downwind; superseded, so mainly a second-hand proposition.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 87 kg. It stays workable from 77 kg to 93 kg, and sits at its best between 81 kg and 89 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
Flow's elite ski before the Addict, which shares its 6.4m x 43cm footprint with less rocker and more volume aft. The Superstar was developed from the same concept at the stable end.
