Replied by owenfromwales on topic Surfski Width x Length Chart - PDF version March 2024
List of Width x Length for Surfskis (October 2023)
In 2013 there were about 50 ski designs on the list, today (October, 2023) it`s over 250, and there must be a few more out there that are absent. Feel free to let me know what`s wrong with/missing from the list. Happy paddling all!

Hey Eric,
Yeah, so I've had it for about six weeks now and have done 22 paddles on it, including:
I'm busy writing a full review, but some thoughts:
The boat is similar in stability to the Fenn Swordfish; I feel pretty much bullet-proof in any sea conditions.
For me, it's a very comfortable seat - much more comfortable than the Swordie, where I have to have a butt pad or it rubs my coccyx raw.
The seat has a great cutaway at the back, which makes it comfortable to lean back when you're going down steep runs and you want to keep the nose up.
The seat is shallower than the Swordfish, and remounts are very easy. The seat feels slightly higher in the boat, which gives a very comfortable feeling of having your heels a little lower than your butt, but I still need to measure the heights to see whether I'm correct in this. The cutaways are quite radical, allowing the paddle close to the centreline at the start of the stroke.
I'm finding that in really choppy, conditions, I'm slipping from side to side in the seat, and I'm going to try paddlng with a butt pad to anchor my backside.
It holds its line well, I can ride the runs at a diagonal without losing control. At the same time it is very responsive to the rudder (or to leaning the boat).
I'm still getting used to the way it catches runs; it seems to accelerate a second or two later than other boats I've paddled. But it almost needs less effort to catch the runs if you wait for that brief moment to accelerate; it seems to release and surge forward.
It seems to cut through the waves and to be able to bounce the next wave more than I've been able to on my recent boats.
On flat water, it picks up tiny bumps. Last night we were training on flat water and while I was maintaining 11.3-11.6kph, every now and then a small bump would arrive and I'd feel the boat accelerate and I could hold 12.2-12.4kph while on the wave. I dropped my training partners for the first time in ages, man it felt good.
For me this is a really interesting boat. On the one hand it's an "easy-to-use", comfortable, stable boat, but I feel that it has something more - if you really get to know it and know when to put the hammer down on the waves, it really comes alive. It's the most "characterful" boat I've played with for a while - in a good way.
I haven't fully got to grips with it downwind, especially in confused, choppy conditions, but I'm really enjoying it.
So it's an intriguing boat - and I'm loving it.

any more updates on your experience with the gen4?
Hey Eric,
Yeah, so I've had it for about six weeks now and have done 22 paddles on it, including:
- 11 downwind ranging from mellow to wild
- A couple of informal races
- A number of squad paddles comprising interval training on flat water and some on choppy water out and backs into wind and waves.
I'm busy writing a full review, but some thoughts:

Replied by Paul600 on topic Older Stellar SES what to look out for?
I have a 2012 Stellar SES in Excel layup and agree with Bill, it's the toughest lightweight ski I've owned and the only problem I've had was the carbon pivot pin on the footrest wore out and I replaced it with stainless steel. Apart from that, nothing's broken or fallen off and it still stays dry inside.
Mine has the bullet but still drains slowly and I too have put a foam block forward of the footrest to reduce the cockpit volume.
I also own a Fenn Spark and that is hands down a more dynamic ski to paddle but when the wind's blowing hard, the SES is the boat I grab from the garage.

I have a SES in excel layup I got in 2011; I believe it is the 2nd gen SES. I have over 800 hrs on it, all in the ocean. I have had no problems with it - no leaks, no cracks, nada. Relative to other skis, its construction has always seemed very robust to me. The leash attachment point is very strong.
I did have to do a minor repair the of the gelcoat on the bow, but that was from me whacking it into my garage, so, don't do that.
It's great secondary stability makes it my "storm boat", i.e., I often use it after a coastal storm in my area when I have rough seas with storm induced ocean swells that are on my rear quarter or beam from my travel direction with the wind waves. I find it as easy as any in its class to remount, perhaps a bit easier because it can lean all the way to the gunwale and still not go over.
Early on I replaced the dyneema rudder line with Q-power spectra, as I do on all my skis - but that is a matter of preference. I also changed the rudder to a 9" elliptical, which I consider best for control in high winds and big wave conditions.
Its shortcomings:
- takes longer than others to drain, the hole probably could have be placed better and have been bigger - but it is only really an issue of you get a wave falling into the cockpit. Add a bullet - it helps some.
- the cockpit has too much space, so it holds more water. A workaround for this is to strategically attach blocks of foam in various locations to displace some of that water. I calculate I have been able to displace 1.25+ gal of water using the foam.
So, I like it - no regrets.

"The original V10 and EVO had a single bailer somewhat similar to what you are asking about. IMO they were useless and had to modify those drains on the ones I had."
Yes, but this was 2005 ish and at that time they were cutting edge until skis like Red 7 started putting bullets on. They weren't useless, they were just less efficient and there was only one of them. Like you, I decided to modify mine. I added a diy bullet and it sucked out the water double-speed. I still use my V10 G1 today and I'm quite happy with how the venturi with bullet performs.
