What works, and what it costs you
What works
- 48cm beam is the mainstream intermediate width
- Shorter waterline turns more readily in surf
- Cheapest layup starts below the race models
Trade-offs
- Gives away real speed to the 43-45cm hulls above it
- No published weight
- Small brand, thin second-hand market
What paddlers say
