The S18S X uses the S18S G2 platform and reduces weight and price by eliminating hatches. With its fast hull shape and narrow catch, the light weight of the S18S X can give you the edge in your next race.
The rocker profile is optimised for efficient paddling and catching waves. All done without losing any stability and staying within USCA fast sea kayaks regulations. The DeBrito bailer makes for dry starts, paddles and rapid water removal. Under-stern/over-stern fittings, side handles, water bottle holder, carbon handles at each end, leash attachment and deck bungees still come standard on the Stellar S18S X. Making this a boat you need to put in your fleet.

Features
Over Stern Steering
Easy change to over stern steering, with rudder post and steering line tubes per-installed.
Seating
Ergonomic seat with rounded back for good totation, low hump and integrated water bottle holder, cockpit handles and lock bar.
Refined Bow
Peaked deck helps to shed water when in the rough stuff and allows for a much more narrow catch. Optimised hull in the bow greatly reduces drag, but keeps stability.
Bow & Stern handles
Ergonomic carry handles for a comfortable haul to and from the water.
Deck Configeration
Steamlined deck with no hatches saving weight for those looking for a lightweight racing machine.
Foot Brace
3 point foot brace allows for a powerful leg drive and easy responsive steering with toe pedals.
Under Stern Rudders
Various sized carbon ruders for efficient steering for any condition.
Low-Volume Cockpit
DeBrito bailer makes for quick draining of the cockpit when underway or close it for flat or cold water paddling.
Stability & Speed
Designed around the USCA 18' Kayak regulations with long and efficient hull lines and a slender bow for low form wave drag for a smooth and fast running hull.
Construction Options
25.7 lbs / 11.7 kg
Excel
Very stiff and light, yet more affordable than the Ultra. Kevlar® adds impact strength to the laminate - Gelcoat finished heat cured epoxy Kevlar® and Fiberglass laminate with Nomex® Honeycomb Core. Great for racing, or those looking for a light boat, but not as impact resistant as the Multi-sport or Advantage constructions.
33.3 lbs / 15.1 kg
Multi-Sport
Single skin laminate hull made of Carbon & Kevlar® fabric, with clear gelcoat finish, and the deck is the standard Advantage construction. The hull is designed to be flexible and durable, but creates a stiff boat that can take some abuse in the class I and II rapids and shallows, but is also at home in the ocean or the flats. The Surf Ski Multi-Sport construction comes standard with an over-stern rudder and fittings for an under-stern rudder, as well as a flush mounted Andersen Super mini-bailer.
33.9 lbs / 15.4 kg
Advantage
Great combination of weight, stiffness, durability and cost. Gelcoat finished heat cured infused epoxy Fiberglass and Soric® core laminate is very tough and resists against punctures. A great race boat on a tight budget. The Advantage hits the mark for price to weight ratio for most kayak paddlers.
The Stellar Difference
The difference is in the details. At Stellar, we realise that all materials are not made the same and premium materials help make a superior boat. From Dupont Kevlar, Toray Carbon, Lantor Core and 3M finishing materials, we realize that these materials may cost more, but provide you with a superior boat in mechanical strength, aesthetic finish, optimal weight and consistent performance. We process those superior materials, by using epoxy resin, heat curing, vacuum and infusion to create the some of the best boats on the market.
