Revo R2

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.

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. How we rate.

Stability here means how steady the ski feels sitting still on flat water. Where two craft have overlapping ranges, we can't say which is more stable. Downwind handling is a separate thing, covered in the evidence note below.

Evidence note

This band is estimated from published dimensions. Qualitative context includes 2 paddler reports and 4 linked sources.

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

Paddler weight

The estimated sweet spot is 84–98 kg, with a broader estimated guide of 68–102 kg. This estimate is a guide, not a limit. Seat fit, conditions and paddling style matter. Lighter paddlers can still enjoy a larger hull, especially downwind. A test paddle is the best check.

Estimated from hull dimensions using a formula fitted to makers’ own paddler limits. It does not establish the designer’s intended paddler weight. How this is worked out.

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.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • 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

Cons

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

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).Reported experience
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.Reported experience
