I had the privilege to try out one of Stellar's elite surf skis, The Eagle. This ski features a low volume cockpit that is still suitable for a larger paddler. It has adjustable foot tracks to allow for a large range of paddler size. The seat is ergonomically designed for a very comfortable seating position. The hump is low with a higher seat bucket compared to the the foot well, allowing for great rotation and very good leg drive. The foot plate seems to be set at the perfect angle to assist with comfort and leg drive. The back of the seat is perfectly tapered away for extra comfort. The bow deck seems optimised for all wind conditions and to help assist with easy turning. The ski seems very agile and nimble. It accelerates quickly and hops over runs easily. I would class this ski in the intermediate to elite category. I think this ski is perfect for that elite paddler who wants a bit more stability as they get older or for that intermediate paddler who wants to upgrade their ski to a more elite ski without compromising stability. The build construction is like none other.
Thank you to Ben Lawry at Stellar kayaks & Surf Skis and Bob Schade at Ocean Flight for inviting me to demo one of their incredible Stellar skis, The Eagle.
