Space Shifter
Soul designer Corran Addison has teamed up with 1981 world downriver
silver medalist and experienced surf ski racer Jerome Truran to create
the ultimate surf ski for kids.
The Space Shifter kids surf ski draws from various paddling disciplines –
surfski, slalom, river running, wave riding and flatwater sprinting to
give kids a quantum leap forward in performance. The end result is a
highly responsive craft, with an organic feel on the water that allows
kids to have fun and enjoy the moment. It's a versatile craft, at home
in a wide variety of conditions, while at the same time being a simply
built, easy to maintain, strong (kid proof) and safe, rotomoulded
sit-on-top.
The generous rocker, stern rails and flattened hull at the stern makes
this boat highly manoeuvrable, so it'll handle anything from open
ocean swells to flatwater and inland lake chop. The reverse bow and
flowing lines of the ski mimic the natural wave that's created as the
boat moves through the water.
A drop down skeg, located close to the paddler helps it track, while
remaining easy to steer, without the need for a pedal controlled
rudder system. The adjustable K1 style racing seat provides proper
paddling posture and with the adjustable foot pedals allows you to
trim the ski for paddler size and the days conditions.
