Think Six
Reasonably flat hull under the bucket extending toward the stern for high initial stability, paired with a rocker line tuned for downwind performance without giving up flat-water speed. Near-vertical paddle-entry cutaways keep water out of the footwell in rough conditions.

Layup weights
On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Versatile all-rounder: confident in flat-to-moderate chop, holds initial stability well, still gets on runs downwind; recommended for paddlers who found the Evo 3G too unstable.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 93 kg. It stays workable from 82 kg to 98 kg, and sits at its best between 86 kg and 95 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
New design combining lessons from the Zen and Ion; wider bucket than the Evo Gen 3, Gen 3 Ace seat, forward rudder placement (34.5in from stern) for a planted feel.
What works, and what it costs you
What works
- Excellent primary stability with intuitive leg drive, better than Swordfish S / Stellar SEI
- Competitive speed for the intermediate class, even with an Epic V10 3G Elite in time trials
- Wide comfortable Gen 3 Ace-derived bucket fits a broad range of paddlers
- Forward rudder gives a planted, maneuverable feel
- Quality finish and full standard equipment
Trade-offs
- Lighter Ultimate layup availability limited at some dealers
- Bailer needs more active management than venturi-style alternatives
- Braided rudder line thin and harder to untie than older cord
- Flatter hull feels less lively than rounded-hull rivals in bigger rough water

Reviewer raced it alongside an Epic V10 3G Elite, calling speed 'right in line with other intermediate skis' — surfskiracing.org.Reported experience
