Layup weights
On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Coastal chop, club racing and moderate downwind.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 91 kg. It stays workable from 80 kg to 96 kg, and sits at its best between 85 kg and 93 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
Developed from the Sharpski concept and tuned for the intermediate-to-advanced paddler rather than the race field.
What works, and what it costs you
What works
- Stable without being slow for its class
- Published weight, which much of this end of the market does not give
- Six metres of waterline in an intermediate hull
Trade-offs
- 13.5kg is heavy against carbon competition
- Distribution is effectively New Zealand only
- Outgrown quickly by a paddler heading for racing
What paddlers say
Reviewed at launch by surfski.info as a stable intermediate ski that still carves for its dimensions.Reported experience
