## 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 87–101 kg, broader estimated guide 71–105 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Flat water, ocean and downwind; Point pitches it hardest at longer distances.

## Hull
6.4m x 48cm intermediate-to-competitive ocean racer, 42cm across the seat, developed out of the Focus with higher rails forward, more front deck height and a wider seat area for hip rotation. Point says it takes a tall paddler without modification. 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
- Long waterline at a beam most paddlers can sit on
- Cockpit built for taller paddlers as standard
- Three layups with published weights

## Trade-offs
- No published price
- Little independent review coverage
- 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.
