Description

2021 Hybrid: One of the best and most underrated intermediate skis on the market. Catches runs and carries speed like no other intermediate ski. I know because I was regularly chased and passed by a fit paddler on this very ski while I was paddling elite skis: Uno Max's and v12's. Now I own three Zests and one must go! And I am also selling all of my elite skis and consolidating down to the Zest only, as the best, most fun all-round ski. While the Zest has lively primary, it has very forgiving secondary. Compared to Epics, it also has tonnes of stability at the point of commitment: when the nose is out of the water and you need to apply power strokes to run down the wave. The narrow nose is also easy to punch up and over and it has no evident top speed: almost like an elite ski, it goes as fast as you can paddle it. Old school effective venturis also means no admin on the bailer. Carrying handles, great storage, effective rudder and the best most durable layup (not too light that it is uncontrollable in a strong wind: this is my all weather/conditions ski). Can discuss delivery options for interstate buyers.
