Point Apex 2
7.4m double, 48cm at its widest outside the cockpits and 42cm inside them, with a 40cm leg-length adjustment in each cockpit changed by a drag-and-click slide. Point sells it on stability, surfability and range of use, from novice family paddling to competitive doubles and lifesaving racing.

Layup weights
On-water profile
Modelled from published beam, length and deck height. Low confidence. Speed is our rating. Both are given at the hull's own design weight. 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
Suits: Club and family doubles paddling, lifesaving double ski events and ocean racing in mixed conditions.
Paddler weight
The estimated sweet spot is 65–76 kg per seat, with a broader estimated guide of 53–79 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.
Generations
Point Fibreglass (Durban) calls the Apex 2 a long-running, tried-and-tested entry to intermediate ocean double, used by clubs and lifesaving clubs. Point's founder previously ran Custom Kayaks, which sold an Apex double; Point does not state the lineage.
