The Concept
The Same Falcon. A Cockpit That Fits.
The Falcon SM is designed for paddlers with smaller frames - or anyone who prefers a snugger fit. It keeps the same high-performance Falcon hull, then wraps it around a narrower, more compact cockpit with the new RT-1 footboard.
Stellar raised and sized down the latest super-comfortable seat and hump, and shortened the foot well to cut cockpit volume. The result: a Falcon that fits like it was made for you, ready to perform in whatever conditions you like to paddle.
Features
Fit Is the Feature
Every SM detail exists to put a smaller paddler in perfect command of the Falcon hull.
Same Hull, Smaller Cockpit
The full Falcon performance hull - fast on the flats, agile in the swell - now with a cockpit proportioned for smaller frames.
Narrow & Compact
A narrower cockpit with less surrounding space gives smaller paddlers a secure, connected feel - no reaching for the sides.
New RT-1 Footboard
The new RT-1 footboard gives smaller paddlers a solid platform to push from, with a slightly shortened foot well for less cockpit volume.
A Tighter Catch
The latest super-comfortable seat is raised and sized down, with the hump adjusted - optimal ergonomics without extra space.
Racing Weight
Reduced cockpit volume lets paddlers fine-tune their position to perform best in the conditions they love - no boat change needed.

Construction
Four Builds, Same Fit
The SM fits every laminate - match the build to your conditions and budget.
Alpha ★ Woven Carbon
24.5 lb
11.1 kg
Woven Toray 3K carbon over a Nomex honeycomb core, clear-finished and heat-cured - maximum stiffness and minimum weight for race days.
Excel
25.6 lb
11.6 kg
A Kevlar-and-fiberglass layup with Nomex honeycomb core - nearly as light as Alpha, with extra impact strength.
Multi-Sport
32 lb
14.5 kg
Single-skin carbon & Kevlar hull on a standard Advantage deck - built to shrug off rapids and shallows, with rudder fittings and an Andersen bailer included.
Advantage
32.4 lb
14.7 kg
Infused epoxy fiberglass with a Soric core under gelcoat - tough, puncture-resistant, and the smart value pick for budget racers.
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
The SM, Unpacked
What smaller paddlers ask before they commit.
Q: What does SM stand for?
A: SM stands for Small - the Falcon SM is the Falcon hull built around a smaller, more compact cockpit for paddlers with smaller frames or those who prefer a snugger, more connected fit.
Q: Falcon SM vs Falcon - what's the difference?
A: The hull is the same 19'6" high-performance intermediate; the difference is the cockpit. The SM has a narrower, more compact cockpit, a shorter foot well, a narrower footboard and the new RT-1 footboard, reducing cockpit volume for smaller paddlers.
Q: How do I know if the SM fits me?
A: A useful guideline: if your hip width is 37 cm (14.5") or greater in thin shorts, you should probably look at the standard-seat Falcon. If you're below that and prefer a snug fit, the SM is designed for you.
Q: What's different about the SM cockpit?
A: Narrower and more compact, with a slightly shortened foot well and a narrower footboard - less volume around the paddler, which means a more secure, connected feel in the boat.
Q: Is the hull the same as the Falcon?
A: Yes. The Falcon SM enjoys the same high-performance hull as the Falcon - fast on the flats, agile in the swell, and ready for all conditions. Only the cockpit and seating are resized.
Q: What about the seat?
A: Stellar raised and sized down the latest super-comfortable seat and hump for the SM, so smaller paddlers get optimal ergonomics without excess space behind or around them.
Q: Which construction should I pick?
A: The SM comes in four builds: Alpha for the lightest, stiffest ride; Excel for added impact strength; Multi-Sport for river and rough-water paddling (rudder and bailer included); and Advantage for the best value and toughness.
Q: Can I fine-tune the fit?
A: Yes - the SM's reduced cockpit volume and adjustable setup let paddlers fine-tune their fit to perform best in the conditions they like to paddle in.
