Description
New in 2023 the Carbonology Sport SS1 Flash LV X is the Low volume version of the Flash X surfski for experienced paddlers under 75kg or of smaller stature. This is the fastest downwind boat in the CS range for lighter paddlers.
Specifically designed with women in mind, The hump has been lowered enabling an effective leg drive, accompanied by an extended footwell for more adjustability room. Cockpit rail cutaways provide a paddler with an easy catch entry.
The volume in the bow and throughout the ski is very similar to all the other skis of that size and length. The ski could best described as a longer, thinner Zest X LV (Vault). With a longer footwell as well and lower hump, a much better leg drive is achieved. This provides an aggressive seating position without a “nose up” feel as in other skis.
“It turns very well and catches waves and runs the same as the Vault in testing. The rocker is also the same as the Zest X LV (Vault) and also has a very nice glide feeling from the longer waterline”– Hein Van Rooyen CEO Carbonology Sport
This is an impressive boat for the experienced intermediate paddler or rough water ski for elite paddler. If you are in the market, get out there & try it out…….given the subjective nature of ski preferences, this might surprise you.
