The range

Six skis, two paddles.

Four surfskis, an OC1 and a double, plus the paddle range. Every model carries the same hull thinking, the same fittings and the same deBrito bailer.

First ski

Tarifa

The ideal next step after a plastic ski. Lighter, faster, easier to handle, and built to be paddled anywhere. If you have never sat on a surfski, this is the one that will not put you off.

OC1 · under construction

Gorge

An OC1 inspired by the Gorge Downwind on the Columbia River, designed for fast, short-period ocean conditions. The shorter hull gives rapid acceleration, exceptional manoeuvrability and effortless surfing from bump to bump. Currently under construction.

Double

M2M

Inspired by the Maui to Molokai crossing, and built for shared adventures. Exceptional stability, a remarkably dry ride and effortless confidence. Ideal for coaching, families, first-time paddlers and experienced crews alike.

In the cockpit

Fitted from the seat, not the workshop.

The footrest is full carbon and adjusts from a seated position, so a ski can be set up on the water rather than back on the beach.

The cockpit bucket is shaped to hold a wide range of body types securely, which is why one hull suits paddlers from 1.43 m to 2.10 m tall.

The paddles

Twenty-five years of making paddles, in two models.

Oscar and his brother Walter have been racing, designing and building paddles since the days when a better paddle meant making it yourself. Both models use the ChalupSki adjustable locking system, so length can be changed on the water as conditions and energy change.

Introducing the paddle range

Oscar on what went into the two paddles, and why an adjustable shaft changes how you paddle. Two minutes, worth it.
