Stellar S18S X Ski

The Stellar S18S X delivers fast, efficient surfski performance in a lightweight and more affordable package. Built on the proven S18S G2 platform, its fast hull shape, narrow catch and optimised rocker provide efficient paddling and excellent wave-catching ability.

Designed to deliver speed without sacrificing stability, the S18S X is an ideal choice for paddlers looking to gain an edge on race day. The twin Venturi Bullet bailers provide rapid water removal, while standard features include carbon handles, side handles, a water bottle holder, leash attachment, deck bungees and under-stern and over-stern fittings.

Construction Options:

Advantage: The Advantage construction delivers the perfect balance of weight, stiffness, durability, and value - making it a standout choice for paddlers who want performance without the premium price tag. Built with a heat-cured, infused epoxy Fiberglass laminate and reinforced with a Soric® core, this layup is exceptionally tough and highly resistant to punctures, giving you confidence across a range of conditions. Finished with a durable gelcoat, it’s designed to handle regular use while maintaining solid on-water efficiency. Ideal as a race-ready option on a tighter budget, the Advantage construction hits the sweet spot for price-to-weight ratio, making it one of the most popular choices for paddlers looking to maximise performance per dollar.

Excel: Engineered for speed and efficiency, this ultra-light, high-stiffness construction combines Kevlar® and Fiberglass in a heat-cured epoxy laminate, finished with a durable gelcoat. A Nomex® honeycomb core enhances rigidity while keeping overall weight to a minimum, delivering exceptional on-water performance. Kevlar® reinforcement adds valuable impact strength, making this layup a smart choice for paddlers chasing a lighter, faster ski without sacrificing structural integrity. Ideal for speed or performance-focused paddlers, it offers a responsive, lively feel with every stroke. While prioritising weight savings and speed, this construction is less impact-resistant than the Multi-Sport or Advantage options, making it best suited to paddlers who value performance in cleaner conditions.
