surfski stealth fisha/profisha

[SoCalEDC]

There is a rep in NorCal that is already established in the states, and a gentleman who is working to become a rep in so cal. I was able to see the price sheet for the boats and the fiber glass boats start around 2800 bucks and go up to about 5000 for full carbon fiber. Rod from rokkit kit has the ProFisha 475 in carbon fiber, based on the price list I saw (it may be old now), that ski was priced at $4825 (full carbon fiber, before tax and shipping).

They also just released their first rotomolded boat. The fusion 480 (4.8m long), its 26.75" wide (the widest in their line up) and about half the cost of the new glass boats (starts around 1735, plus shipping and tax depending on where you decide to buy it.)

edit: In regards to actually paddling one of these I think its important to recognize that alot of people who fish on a wide platform like an outback, top water, etc. may lack the proper fundamentals of actual paddling and kayaking (hence why those kayaks are so popular). I know that when I ride my outback I can cheat the centerline quite a bit, lean over the side lightly, etc. When I ride the Trident (28" wide) I have to be much more fundamentally sound and be sure to keep my head centerline above the axis of the kayak, keep my rod tip going forward as opposed to sideways, etc. I think the majority of stability for these types of yaks comes from the low center of gravity, and when you lead up and out of the kayak you lose that. Additionally when I am on that kayak I often put my feet over the sides for stability, but when it comes to speed its no match, the long narrow kayaks are just so fast and efficient.

Good to know about the fit, I really need to sit in one of these since I don't have chicken legs. I've paddled outrigger and dragon boat before, really missing those upper body workouts and the speed. Dreaming of a fast and hard to rocky point in PV to get my fish on.

I couldn't find any info on a full carbon boat, just carbon hatch and rudder. EDC, could you point me to where you found the full carbon boat? Who's the upcoming rep in SoCal?

I'm not positive if he is still on BWE, but "Obed" fishes off his Profisha 575 here in La Jolla. I was always pretty jealous of this rig.

Another fun boat that I haven't tried, but always wanted to, was the Viking Profish Reload.

Yea those vikings look cool. I like that modular center hatch they have where you can have a live well, or a cooler, etc.

[good vibes]

looks like a cool 19 foot SOT kevlar kayak, gret price for 300$.
Unfortunately too long for my garage.
