Opium Moana
5.88m x 49cm intermediate ski. Opium publishes an overall hull height of 31cm for it, the lowest in their range, which reads as a low-volume hull for lighter paddlers rather than a full-volume all-rounder.

On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Coastal paddling, chop and club racing.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 92 kg. It stays workable from 81 kg to 98 kg, and sits at its best between 86 kg and 94 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
Opium Caiaques is a Brazilian builder with the widest ski range in South America — seven surfskis from an elite 6.45m racer down to a 5.25m beginner hull, alongside OC1, OC2 and OC6 outriggers. Opium publishes an overall hull height for each boat; that figure is not the deck height this index uses for weight bands, so it is not carried across.
