## Specifications
- Length: 6 m
- Beam: 46 cm
- Deck height: 33.5 cm (estimated)
- Layup weights: Carbon 11 kg
- Usually paddled by: Confident ocean paddlers

## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 5–7 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 8 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 77–90 kg, broader estimated guide 63–94 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Intermediate-to-advanced ocean paddling, marathon and mixed conditions

## Hull
Mid-volume 6.0m x 46cm hull, wider and shorter than the SSR. More forgiving primary stability for intermediate-to-advanced paddlers while keeping a fast marathon waterline.

## What works
- More stable, forgiving hull for advancing paddlers
- Fast marathon waterline in a manageable 46cm width
- Light full-carbon build (~11kg)

## Trade-offs
- Still an advanced ski, not a beginner boat
- Custom-order from Japan, no AU distribution
- Sparse published specs

## Generations
- original: Earlier SSS listed on surfski.info at 46.5cm x 5.98m.
- current: Mid-volume intermediate/advanced hull at 46cm x 6.00m; hand-built to order in layups up to full carbon.

## What paddlers say
- Scofits lists the Ayahavela SSS on its MODELS gallery as the mid-volume model sitting below the narrow SSR/Bullet, aimed at intermediate-to-advanced paddlers (scofits.com/photo).
