## Specifications
- Length: 6.35 m
- Beam: 48 cm
- Deck height: 33.5 cm (estimated)
- Layup weights: Carbon 12 kg
- Usually paddled by: Paddlers in chop

## 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 3 linked sources.

## Paddler weight
Estimated sweet spot 86–100 kg, broader estimated guide 70–104 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
All-round intermediate: flat water, moderate ocean, learning downwind.

## Hull
Full-length 6.35m waterline at a friendly 48cm beam, giving intermediate paddlers a stable but genuinely quick hull. Commonly cross-shopped with the Epic V10 Sport and Think Evo 3.

## What works
- Stable yet fast for its class
- Light (~12kg carbon)
- Full 6.35m length carries runs well for an intermediate

## Trade-offs
- AU new-stock availability uncertain
- Sparse official spec/price info
- Fewer dealers than Epic/Fenn

## Generations
- ~2018-present: The stable/intermediate model in the Revo line (R1 elite, R2 intermediate-advanced, R3 intermediate). Light layups quoted around 12kg.

## What paddlers say
- Multiple surfski.info threads cross-shop the R3 against Think Evo 3 and Epic V10 Sport, and describe paddlers stepping up from a Carbonology Cruze into an R3 ('Carbonology Cruze to Revo R3', 'Revo R3 vs THINK EVO 3 vs Epic V10 Sport', 'Comparisons; Epic V8 vs Revo 3').
