## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 8–10 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 5 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 85–99 kg, broader estimated guide 69–103 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Learning, surf launches and coastal paddling in Durban conditions.

## Hull
5.8m x 52cm stable hull, 42cm across the seat, and the reworked version of the Horizon: narrower foot well so it carries less water, a redeveloped deck around the cockpit, four carry handles, a 40cm leg slide and a reshaped seat for bigger paddlers. 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
- Three layups with published weights
- 40cm of leg-slide adjustment
- Designed around keeping water out of the cockpit

## Trade-offs
- No published price
- 52cm beam gives away a lot of speed
- 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
- No independent owner review located as of August 2026.
