## Ratings (Surfski Index estimates)
- Stability band 8–10 out of 10 (editorial estimate, low confidence).
- Speed rated 3 out of 10.

Our estimate from published descriptions and reviews. 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 a cautious editorial estimate; it is not backed by a hull trace. Qualitative context includes 1 paddler report and 2 linked sources.

## Paddler weight
Estimated sweet spot 80–93 kg, broader estimated guide 65–97 kg. An estimate from hull dimensions, not the designer's intended weight.

## Suits
Flatwater and fitness for larger or nervous paddlers; maximum-stability learner ski in calm-to-mild water

## Hull
Very wide (62.5cm), short (4.86m) Styrolight fitness ski, the widest and most stable in Vajda's range. A wider version of the Wildfire 50 aimed at larger or nervous paddlers; flat, barge-stable hull with tiller steering.

## What works
- Highest stability in the Vajda line (5/5)
- Extra 62.5cm width suits large and heavy paddlers
- Tough thermoformed Styrolight, affordable

## Trade-offs
- Very slow, short wide hull
- Heavy (~18kg)
- Not a platform for progressing to racing

## Generations
- 2018-present: Wider variant of the Wildfire 50, thermoformed in Styrolight; the widest, most stable hull in the Vajda range for larger paddlers

## What paddlers say
- APS product copy: a wider version of the Wildfire 50, the 'ideal choice for the larger paddlers' (australianpaddlesports.com.au)
