Axis S4 surfski

About the Axis S4

The S4 is the surfski version of the hybrid hull – a surfski with some sea kayak touring qualities built-in. Designed for paddlers in the 65-90 kg weight range it will be a very capable touring surfski for light paddlers, a play and racing/work-out surfski for those in the upper part of the range. But since kayak hulls have a forgiving weight margin (it takes 17,6 kg to push the waterline 1 cm!), the S4 will do fine with a 40 kg paddler (though a little wind sensitive) as well as a 100 kg paddler (though a little wet at times).

The S4 is fitted with the SmartTrack rudder system and the nicely incorporated deck hatches.
