What is a surfski?
A surfski is between 4.5 and 6.5 m long and looks very elegant and sporty. It is also very light (about 8 kg in the carbon version). Surf skis are very safe as they are unsinkable. This is achieved by the closed hull.
You steer the surfski using two pedals with your feet and a rudder under the stern. The drive is provided by a wing paddle. The surfski is fast and can be used in (almost) any weather.
