Construction
The Kingfisher S16S G2 is available in four construction options, allowing paddlers to select the balance of weight, durability, and composite performance that best suits their needs.
Alpha - 27.1 lbs / 12.3 kg
Built with Toray 3K carbon fiber and a Nomex honeycomb core, the Alpha construction uses an epoxy laminate that is heat-cured in the mold. The clear carbon finish highlights the weave while keeping the overall ski exceptionally lightweight.
Excel - 27.8 lbs / 12.6 kg
The Excel construction combines Kevlar and carbon fiber with a Nomex honeycomb core. It uses a heat-cured epoxy laminate to provide a lightweight composite structure with added material toughness compared with an all-carbon layup.
Multi-Sport - 33.7 lbs / 15.4 kg
The Multi-Sport version uses a carbon/Kevlar epoxy hull with a clear gelcoat, paired with an infused fiberglass and Soric core deck. This construction provides a practical balance between weight, durability, and everyday paddling use.
Advantage - 35.1 lbs / 15.9 kg
The Advantage version features an infused fiberglass sandwich construction with a Soric core. The laminate is heat-cured for structural consistency and is designed as a durable option for regular recreational and training use.
