The Fennix Elite S continues on the same path as its predecessors the Elite and Elite S. Both of those were the leaders in the racing category. The Fennix version brings in slightly more rocker with some movements of volume to different parts of the ski. It is even more maneuverable and maintains that flatwater speed of the Elite S. The seat is slightly different from the previous Elite S seats. The Fennix Elite S has a smaller bump and will accommodate paddlers shorter than 5’5.
So what’s different to the previous model?
· The shape of the bow deck (nose) is tapered down in line with the new Fennix models
· More rocker in the hull, however, maintains great flatwater speed
· Narrower through the front and slightly higher deck
· The seat is slightly more forward
· Less hump under your legs
· Greater maneuverability – the ski is extremely responsive allowing you to move the ski quickly into the desired position to pick up runs
Construction
Hybrid: Vacuum bagged fibreglass/carbon, epoxy resin.
The Hybrid layup uses a special layer of carbon and fibreglass interwoven fabric along with another layer of fibreglass. This layup creates strength while reducing weight enabling a more affordable product. There is very little difference between full carbon and hybrid layups in weight making this layup a first-class racing product.
Hybrid (grey epoxy finish): ~12.5kg
Carbon: Vacuum bagged carbon, epoxy resin.
This is the premium layup, carbon and epoxy are used and vacuum bagged to create a light and stiff racing craft.
Actual average weights for the different constructions are:
Full carbon (grey epoxy finish): ~9.5 to 11kg (depending on model)
