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

Wide (58.5cm), short hull with heavy rocker trades straight-line speed for wave-catching and turning; positioned as a surf toy, not a race ski.

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

Paddler weight

This hull is built around a paddler of about 83 kg. It stays workable from 73 kg to 88 kg, and sits at its best between 77 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

2023-present

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

What works, and what it costs you

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

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.Reported experience
