SeaBird Wave 6.1

6.1m x 48cm intermediate ski with a published 34cm deck height and medium rocker, which SeaBird says gives it useful behaviour in waves without punishing it on flat water. The maker's framing is that it trades very little top speed for a lot more stability.

Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.

Rated from the published 48cm beam and 6.1m length against this index's own scale, not from a paddle test. 48cm at just over six metres is the classic intermediate footprint — the Epic V10 Sport sits in the same place — and the maker's own "intermediate" label agrees with the geometry.

Suits: Racing, training and light fast touring; comfortable in chop before it is comfortable in a big downwind.

Paddler weight

This hull is built around a paddler of about 88 kg. It stays workable from 77 kg to 93 kg, and sits at its best between 81 kg and 89 kg.

Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.

Generations
