## Specifications

- Deck height: 33.5 cm (estimated)

## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 4–6 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 9 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 73–84 kg, broader estimated guide 59–88 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Elite flat-water and marathon racing in calm-to-moderate water; expert paddlers only

## Hull
Long (6.33m), exceptionally narrow (41cm) hand-built elite race hull with a deep bucket (HPK-style) seat. Fine entry and low freeboard for flat-water speed; primary stability is minimal and demands an experienced paddler.

## What works
- Very fast, narrow elite race waterline
- Light full-carbon hand-built layup (~10.5kg)
- Proven marathon pedigree (2010 Amami podium sweep)

## Trade-offs
- Very low stability: expert paddlers only
- Custom-order from Japan, no AU dealer or support
- Sparse published specs and thin resale market

## Generations
- c.2010-present: Franky's Scofits hand-built elite flat-water/HPK-style race ski; the Ayahavela SSR swept 1st-2nd-3rd in the surfski division of the 2010 Amami Sea Kayak Marathon. Built to order in layups from wood to full carbon.

## What paddlers say
- Scofits RECORDS page: the Ayahavela SSR swept 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the surfski division of the 2010 Amami Sea Kayak Marathon (36km), reflecting an elite race hull (scofits.com/menu).
