Sometimes a new product name just fits and that is case in the
newest surf kayak designed by me, Dick Wold . The Stellar is stellar!
The Stellar high performance surf kayak is the brainchild of my
28 years of competitive kayaking experience and 20 years of designing
wave skis and surf kayaks. I have built on wave ski design and
taken the best parts of mostly the Epic and the Super Nova surf
kayaks and combined them all to create the Stellar.
The Stellar is 6 feet 11 inches long and 25.5 inches at is widest point. It's tri-concave hull, corrugated side walls, vertically I-beam designed joint, inside and outside seams along with the glassed on cockpit rim, makes the Stellar the strongest structurally sound surf kayak on the market today. The Stellar can be cut to fit paddlers that are between 130 - 220 lbs and 5 ft - 6 ft 3 inches in height.
The Stellar is fast, the lowered tail rocker
and tri-concave hull gives it the speed. The Stellar can turn
on a dime, the flowing curve of the top view rail line and the
short length combine to make this possible. The stellar has a
very forgiving front end, the forgiving progessive rail bevel
and concave lift on the front end makes round house and floater
maneuvers much easier to perform. The forgiving front end also
makes the Stellar very easy to spin and to back surf. The lower
volume stern on the Stellar allows for instant squirt turn takeoffs
and the balanced buoyancy makes the Stellar easy to cartwheel.
The short length, hull rocker, balanced buoyancy and forgiving
front end are the design features that come together to make the
Stellar the able to perform aerials, helixes, blunts, loops and
any bouncing maneuver you can imagine.
The best thing about the Stellar is that this surf kayak can be
surfed by both beginners and experts. Those learning the sport
will get a fun forgiving boat that will allow you to progress
in your skills. The more advanced kayakers will be able to tap
into all the fun of a good freestyle river kayak combined with
the power of a fast surf kayak.
