Stellar SEL Elite Low Bow Surf Ski

SEL Elite Low Bow Surf Ski

EXCEL - Epoxy Kevlar and Nomex Core = 12.0kg

ULTRA - Prepreg Carbon and Nomex Core = 10.9kg

Elite Says it all. A very fast boat for Fast Paddlers.

Low Volume Bows are ideally suited to flat water and smaller chop (that doesnt mean it wont handle some rough water) than the full volume bow versions - they are less wind effected and suit the paddling of the vast majority of paddlers. Whilst its called Low volume its really the standard volume unless you NEED big.

Product Description

The Stellar Elite Low (SEL) Surf Ski came in response to the paddlers in more sheltered waters looking for reduced windage on the bow deck. We have lowered the bow deck, narrowed the catch, and increased the length of the footwell compared to the original SE Surf Ski. With the same hull as the SE, it maintains its stable platform and great speed.

Construction Grade Information
 

At Stellar, we realize that the difference between a good boat and a great boat is not only the method of the construction, but the materials used in that process. For this reason, we import premium materials from Global leaders, such as Dupont, Toray, 3M, Plexus etc. Paired with our advanced composite construction, developed from years for R&D and production, our boats are some of the lightest and stiffest on the market. As a certified ISO 9001 company, rigid procedures and quality control measures are in place to make sure that each boat meets our rigorous standards from the material itself all the way through the manufacturing process. This ensures that not only does the boat looks and feels good, but more importantly; it performs well and is durable.

Surf Skis -

Each Surf Ski is designed to meet the rigors of the environment where it will be paddled. Every Surf Ski has a through running vertical stringer, fore and aft of the cockpit, to add stiffness to the boat when riding big waves or paddling out through the surf. The contoured stern deck and curved transition to the bow deck add structural strength to prevent stress fractures and the fiberglass taped seam reinforces the deck joint.

Excel – This laminate is Kevlar with Nomex Honeycomb core and a gelcoat exterior, making it very stiff and very light.  This is a performance laminate designed for those who desire a stiff and fast boat and know how to handle a boat on and off the water.  The Nomex core makes for a light and stiff boat, but the impact resistance is much less than that of the Advantage or Sport.  If you hit a rock or log or even tie down the boat too tight on unsupported racks, this could result in damage.

Ultra – This laminate is Carbon with Nomex Honeycomb core and a painted finish, making it extremely stiff and light weight. This is a performance laminate designed for those who desire the stiffest and fastest boat and know how to handle a boat on and off the water.  The Nomex core makes for a light and stiff boat, but the impact resistance is much less than that of the Advantage or Sport.  If you hit a rock or log or even tie down the boat too tight on unsupported racks, this could result in damage.  Secondly, the painted finish is more prone to scratching than the gelcoat finish, so take care to clean the boat well and avoid running it aground when landing to keep the finish pristine.
