Think Surfskis

Think skis are quickly forging a name as designers & manufacturers of original & high performing skis, covering the full spectrum of paddler abilities from the absolute beginner up to the current World Champion, Sean Rice. Their skis are beautifully put together, with a trademark seamless join, and many features that cost extra on other brands. Despite the excellent finish & crafstamnship, you tend to pay about a price-point down on skis of similar constrution & weight, making them an even more attractive choice in a very competitive top-end ski market.

Think Eze

The most user friendly ski for lighter paddlers we've come across. We have been impressed by the nimble performance of the Eze, the sort of performance afforded by a sporty 5.2m waterline to push around in the waves. Coupled with that, it's light, beautifully made & as stable as any entry level ski around for light paddlers. Here are Sharon Betteridge's views on the Eze, a boat that has very quickly become her ski of choice:

""Whilst I have never been a proponent of ski paddling, I couldn't resist a test paddle of the new Think 'Eze' ski when Rob brought it home on his roof a couple of weeks ago. It is shiny and slim, and light enough for me to get on and off the roof of my car on my own, and, after a few paddles on Sydney Harbour in genuine 20 knot winds, I was impressed to say the least. After a few anxious moments on launching, I adapted quickly to the feel of the both the ski and the wing paddle. Into the wind and across the wind I felt pretty much in control, and the ski was going quick. Then it was time to turn around and catch a few runners home. After a few unsettling moments I realized I could make this craft go fast, with little effort. At last the leading designers and manufacturers are starting to take the under 65kg paddler seriously and provide them with real sea kayaks that they can use in real conditions. Small boats really do make a big difference - just ask any kayaker who paddles one"

Think Uno Max Surfski

Surf skis have evolved with alarming speed over the past 2-3 years, with a clear-cut set of elite designs at the very top of the tree, being used by the elite paddlers in the top races around the globe. These elite designs are just that, a handful for a non-elite paddler, and are increasingly being used by non-elite paddlers for flat water training and paddling. The Uno Max has a surprising amount of initial stability for an elite boat, and secondary stability that kicks in early and provides a reasuring edge that less experienced paddlers will instantly identify. In our experience with the main elite boats this is clearly the most user-friendly, with excellent aggressive ergonomics and an impressive turn of speed. As with all Think skis you pay a full price point below the market rate for other brands, so that the elite 12kg construction is under $4000, complete with a foam foot pad. If you're an elite paddler looking for a beautifully made, hard running coean ski, or a non-elite paddler looking for elite speed without the swimming practice, this boat should be high on your list of candidates. We have a demo Uno Max to test.
