Stellar 18' Surf Ski (S18SX SM)

Designed for those with small frames or like a snugger fit. The S18 SX Small enjoys the same high performance hulls with narrower more compact refined cockpits that feature the new RT-1 footboard. We have raised and sized down the latest super comfortable seat and hump to allow for the best paddling ergonomics. The slightly shortened foot well and the narrower footboard/cockpit ensure less volume in the cockpit.

This allows paddlers to fine tune their fit to allow them to perform best in the conditions they like to paddle in. Note - if you have a hip with of 37cm(14.5”) or greater in thin shorts then you should probably be looking at the standard seat version.

Alpha - Woven

Weight: 24.3 lbs / 11 kg
Description: Extremely stiff and light - The ultimate paddling machine that is also easy to move off of the water. Clear finished, heat cured epoxy woven Toray 3k Carbon Fiber laminate with Nomex® Honeycomb Core.

Excel

Weight: 25.4 lbs / 11.5 kg
Description: Very stiff and light, yet more affordable than the Ultra. Kevlar® adds impact strength to the laminate - Gelcoat finished heat cured epoxy Kevlar® and Fiberglass laminate with Nomex® Honeycomb Core. Great for racing, or those looking for a light boat, but not as impact resistant as the Multi-sport or Advantage constructions.

Multi-Sport

Weight: 31.7lbs / 14.4 kg
Description: Single skin laminate hull made of Carbon & Kevlar® fabric, with clear gelcoat finish, and the deck is the standard Advantage construction. The hull is designed to be flexible and durable, but creates a stiff boat that can take some abuse in the class I and II rapids and shallows, but is also at home in the ocean or the flats. The Surf Ski Multi-Sport construction comes standard with an over-stern rudder and fittings for an under-stern rudder, as well as a flush mounted Andersen Super mini-bailer.

Advantage

Weight: 32.2 lbs / 14.6 kg
Description: Great combination of weight, stiffness, durability and cost. Gelcoat finished heat cured infused epoxy Fiberglass and Soric® core laminate is very tough and resists against punctures. A great race boat on a tight budget. The Advantage hits the mark for price to weight ratio for most kayak paddlers.
