Point Phantom
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.

Layup weights
On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Flat water, ocean and downwind; Point pitches it hardest at longer distances.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 99 kg. It stays workable from 87 kg to 105 kg, and sits at its best between 92 kg and 101 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.
