Point · Surfski
Point Tide
Entry-level single ski built for maximum primary stability: extra rocker to help it handle waves, and reduced bow and tail volume so it behaves in chop. Point offers it in four construction and weight options. No length or beam is published for it.

On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: A first ski: flat water, sheltered coast and small surf.
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.

- Rocker and reduced end volume aimed at real chop
- Pitched at paddlers who have never been in a ski
Trade-offs
- No published length or beam, so no weight band can be derived
- No published price
- Effectively South Africa only
