## Specifications
- Length: 6.35 m
- Beam: 46 cm
- Deck height: 33.5 cm (estimated)
- Layup weights: Carbon (3x autoclave) 9.5 kg
- Usually paddled by: Paddlers in chop

## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 5–7 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 2 paddler reports and 4 linked sources.

## Paddler weight
Estimated sweet spot 84–98 kg, broader estimated guide 68–102 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Intermediate ocean racing, downwind and flat-water fitness paddling

## Hull
Mid-volume 6.35m x 46cm single-seat ocean/all-round hull, described by dealers as very similar to an Epic V10/V10 Sport with extra hip room. 3x carbon autoclave construction keeps it light. A step-up performance ski rather than a beginner or elite platform.

## What works
- Light 3x-carbon autoclave build (~9.5kg, between R1 8.8kg and R3 10kg)
- Extra hip room / comfort over the R1
- Epic V10 Sport-class all-round intermediate performance

## Trade-offs
- No official published spec/price sheet (brand site offline)
- Thin dealer network outside South Africa and Australia
- Not a beginner ski

## Generations
- ~2019-present: Single-seater performance ski (NOT a double - the 'R2 Double' label in the source report appears to be an error; every dealer/forum source lists R2 as a single). Mid-tier of Revo's R1/R2/R3 range; also offered as a shorter 560cm flat-water variant. 3x carbon autoclave layup with seamless joins.

## What paddlers say
- Paddle Sports SA (AU dealer): the R2 is 'a step-up in terms of performance' with R3 features plus more hip room, 'very similar to an Epic V10/V10 Sport' (paddlesportssa.com.au).
- Weight (~9.5kg) interpolated between Revo's published R1 (8.8kg) and R3 (10kg) carbon-autoclave figures; Revo confirmed no tandem/double variant exists in any dealer or forum source.
