## Specifications
- Length: 4.83 m
- Beam: 58.5 cm
- Deck height: 33.5 cm (estimated)
- Layup weights: Standard 18 kg
- Usually paddled by: New paddlers

## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 9–10 out of 10 (dimension estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 4 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 2 linked sources.

## Paddler weight
Estimated sweet spot 74–86 kg, broader estimated guide 60–89 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Best in wind swell and beach/point-break surf; not intended for long open-ocean downwind racing.

## Hull
High-rocker design with flat cross-sections and hard rails, built as a dedicated wave-surfing play craft rather than a flat-water race ski. Two hatches give storage most surf-oriented skis lack.

## What works
- Purpose-built for wave surfing, playful in the surf zone
- Two hatches give storage most surf skis lack
- Light at 18kg for a plastic-tough surf craft

## Trade-offs
- Not an efficient flat-water or downwind speed machine
- Limited AU dealer availability / no confirmed AUD pricing
- Niche use case narrows resale market

## Generations
- 2023-present: Purpose-built surf/wave play craft, distinct from Think's race skis; two 24cm hatches for touring storage.

## What paddlers say
- No dedicated forum or magazine reviews found on surfski.info or surfskiracing.org as of Jul 2026: too new/niche for third-party write-ups.
