## 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 2 linked sources.

## Paddler weight
Estimated sweet spot 72–84 kg, broader estimated guide 59–87 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Elite ocean racing and downwind.

## Hull
6.0m x 43.5cm elite race hull engineered as a 'sit-on-top bullet' for high-sea racing; narrow, low-drag, demands good balance.

## What works
- Elite race speed
- Felci high-sea hull design
- Australian brand

## Trade-offs
