ChalupSki Maui

The intermediate ski. Race pace, more balance.

The Maui is the sweet spot of the ChalupSki range: a ski with real racing speed that does not punish you when the ocean turns on. Oscar built it for the paddler who wants to go fast without spending the whole session fighting for balance, so the hull keeps its glide while the extra width keeps you upright, relaxed and paddling hard in chop and on downwinders.

Who it is for: intermediate paddlers stepping up from a stable ski, and experienced paddlers who want near Molokai speed with far more margin on big days. If you want the same speed with more balance, this is your ski.

How it feels: quick, composed, confident and forgiving. Stable enough to look around and read the runs, fast enough to catch them and link them.

Specs: length 5.4 m, width 51 cm. One size cockpit with adjustable footplate. deBrito bailer standard. Autoclave cured prepreg carbon construction. Five year warranty.

Construction: Full Carbon $5,999 or Carbon Hybrid $4,999. Select above.
