Point Flight

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.

Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.

Rated from the maker's published 46cm beam and 6.4m length against this index's own scale, not from a paddle test. The narrower seat matters as much as the beam for the paddler this hull is aimed at, and no rating can show that.

Suits: Ocean racing and downwind for a lighter paddler.

Paddler weight

This hull is built around a paddler of about 94 kg. It stays workable from 83 kg to 100 kg, and sits at its best between 87 kg and 96 kg.

Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.

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 works, and what it costs you

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

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.Reported experience
