## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 6–8 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 7 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 83–96 kg, broader estimated guide 68–100 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Ocean racing and downwind for a lighter paddler.

## Hull
6.4m x 46cm competitive ocean racer, 40cm across the seat, built deliberately for the smaller paddler: Point names competitive women, junior boys and smaller adults as the target. Same length as the Phantom, two centimetres narrower and two narrower again at the seat. Point quotes weight as a range by layup (16kg glass, 13-14kg carbon hybrid, 11-12kg full carbon); the table here uses the midpoints.

## What works
- One of the few race hulls designed around smaller paddlers
- Race-proven in South African junior series
- Three layups with published weights

## Trade-offs
- No published price
- A heavier paddler will sit it too deep
- Effectively South Africa only

## Generations
- current: Point Fibreglass builds surfskis, lifesaving craft and malibu boards at 77 Umbilo Road, Congella, Durban. Its own pages describe the Horizon X as an upgraded original Horizon and the Phantom as an upgrade of the Focus: both names this index already holds under Custom Kayaks, another Durban shop. Point does not explain the relationship, so the two brands are kept separate here.

## What paddlers say
- Point's own page credits junior paddler Saskia Hockley with multiple series titles on a carbon-hybrid Flight in the 2019-2020 season. That is the maker's claim, not an independent review.
