Point Horizon X
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.

Layup weights
On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Learning, surf launches and coastal paddling in Durban conditions.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 97 kg. It stays workable from 85 kg to 102 kg, and sits at its best between 90 kg and 99 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
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.
