Layup weights
On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Surf zone, beach starts and lifesaving racing; Stealth rates it 9/10 for surf ability.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 84 kg. It stays workable from 74 kg to 89 kg, and sits at its best between 78 kg and 85 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
Stealth Kayaks is a South African builder best known for fishing skis — the Fisha, Pro Fisha, Fusion and Elite ranges — which sit outside this index. The Raptor is its lifesaving-specification surf ski, and the only Stealth hull that belongs here.
