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. How we rate.

Stability here means how steady the ski feels sitting still on flat water. Where two craft have overlapping ranges, we can't say which is more stable. Downwind handling is a separate thing, covered in the evidence note below.

Evidence note

This band is estimated from published dimensions. Qualitative context includes 1 paddler report and 2 linked sources.

Suits: Elite ocean racing, big downwind.

Paddler weight

The estimated sweet spot is 74–86 kg, with a broader estimated guide of 60–90 kg. This estimate is a guide, not a limit. Seat fit, conditions and paddling style matter. Lighter paddlers can still enjoy a larger hull, especially downwind. A test paddle is the best check.

Estimated from hull dimensions using a formula fitted to makers’ own paddler limits. It does not establish the designer’s intended paddler weight. How this is worked out.

Where to buy

The OSS2 is out of production. You can only buy it second-hand.

Maker closed Ocean (OSS) is no longer trading. Ocean Surfski was renamed Ozean about eighteen months in and then wound up. No maker site resolves and no dealer lists the range.

Ocean (OSS) is no longer made, so second-hand is the only option.

Estimated AU carbon new price; confirm with dealer.
