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.

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. How we rate.

Stability here means how steady the ski feels sitting still on flat water. Where two craft have overlapping ranges, we can't say which is more stable. Downwind handling is a separate thing, covered in the evidence note below.

Evidence note

This band is estimated from published dimensions. Qualitative context includes 1 paddler report and 3 linked sources.

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

Paddler weight

SeaBird rates this hull for paddlers from 70 kg to 90 kg.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Deck height published, so the weight band here is measured rather than estimated

  • Recommended paddler weight and a 120kg capacity both stated

Cons

  • 19-21kg is heavy against composite rivals
  • Out of stock when checked
  • No published price
