The Concept
Big Power, Right Waterline
The 95 is the largest size in the Apex ICF K1 family - the band from 90 to 105 kg where flatwater sprint's biggest power numbers come from. It puts heavyweight paddlers on the waterline the class intends, on the same stiffness-first hull as the rest of the family.
Long smooth waterlines, a 3-point footbrace and a hull built to bend as little as possible: when a 100 kg paddler drives the catch, the stiffness standard makes sure that force goes forward - not into the boat. And even at the top of the range, the woven-carbon Alpha build stays at just 20.3 lb.
Features
Built for the Top of the Range
Heavyweight sprint, properly seated.
90–105 kg, Seated Right
The largest size in the family keeps a heavyweight paddler on the designed waterline - power goes forward, not down.
Loads of Power, Solid Base
The 3-point footbrace holds a heavyweight leg drive in place - every start and sprint stroke pushed from a locked-in platform.
ICF Sprint Ready
An ICF Sprint K1 on the same platform as the rest of the family - flatwater-legal and race-ready for sanctioned events.

Construction
Match the Laminate to the Load
Heavyweight forces need a build that takes them.
Alpha ★ Woven Carbon
20.3 lb
9.2 kg
Woven Toray 3K carbon over Nomex honeycomb, clear-cured - the stiffest, lightest shell even at the largest size.
Excel
22 lb
10 kg
Kevlar and fiberglass over Nomex honeycomb - race weight with more resilience for heavy-power training days.
Multi-Sport
24.5 lb
11.5 kg
Carbon & Kevlar single skin on an Advantage deck - flexes under hard landings and rough water, rudder and bailer included.
Advantage
24.5 lb
11.5 kg
Infused fiberglass with a Soric core under gelcoat - maximum toughness and the smart pick for club rotation and heavy training weeks.
Colors
Available RAL Colors
Want a different shade? We can make it.
*Bright colors like Yellow and Orange need more layers to acheive saturation and can add 100-200g to the weight of the boat.
**Telegrey is a difficult color to make, color consistency cannot be guaranteed.
FAQ
Q: Who is the 95 size for?
A: Heavyweight sprint paddlers racing at 90–105 kg (200–230 lb). It's the top rung of the Apex K1 ladder - the largest size Stellar offers in this ICF Sprint K1 family.
Q: What makes the 95 different from the 75 and 85?
A: The 75, 85 and 95 share the same ICF Sprint K1 hull design; each size simply matches a paddler weight band so the boat floats on its intended waterline. The 95 sits at the top of the range for 90–105 kg crews.
Q: Does a heavier paddler put more load on the hull?
A: Yes - more body weight means more force through the hull on every stroke and landing. That's why the 95 page pairs the size guidance with laminate advice: match the build to the load you actually train with.
Q: Which build suits a 90–105 kg paddler best?
A: Alpha at 20.3 lb is the lightest choice for paddlers who race lean and store the boat carefully. For hard daily training - or shared club boats - the Kevlar Excel or the tougher Multi-Sport / Advantage builds (24.5 lb) usually last more seasons.
Q: What's the top weight for the 95?
A: Stellar sizes the 95 for paddlers up to 105 kg / 230 lb. If you're at or above the top of the band, contact us and we'll confirm the right fit with the composite team.
Q: Does the 95 suit sprint events for big paddlers?
A: Yes - it's an ICF Sprint K1 on the same platform as the rest of the family, built for flatwater sprint racing under ICF class rules. Heavyweight paddlers typically bring high raw power, and the stiff hull turns that into acceleration off the start.
Q: When should I move up from the 85 to the 95?
A: If you race at 90 kg or above - or you're adding mass toward the top of the 85 band - the 95 gives your build the headroom to sit on its designed waterline instead of pushing the middle size deeper.
Q: Is the 95 still easy to carry at 20.3 lb?
A: Yes - that's the point of the Alpha woven-carbon build. Even the largest size in the family comes in at 20.3 lb (9.2 kg), so the heaviest race hull stays manageable on land.
