Ski for surf - rotomolded?

Hi,
How tough are rotomolded skis in the surf zone? 
I paddle a Stellar SR in flat water and just starting some ocean paddling when conditions suit.
I'm thinking of getting another shorter ski to paddle in the surf in more varying conditions but would need to be strong enough to manage. I'm not really interested in a spec (SLSC) ski as looking for stability and not intending to race. 
I was thinking of a Nordic Breeze or Epic V5 in rotomolded. 
Anyone have any experience with these in the surf?

Thanks
STC

I have a Nelo 510.

Not surfed with it much, but paddled quite a bit in rough chop, the kind where you spend a lot of time smacking down into the water.
It copes well with that sort of treatment. Plastic is fairly soft and scratches up easily (but also buffs smooth easily).

Wouldn't be my first choice for surfing, you have to be careful to ride a wave or it will broach (when water catches the rudder).

Thanks, I'm just looking to do ins and outs through the surf, not actually surfing like a wave ski.

Cheers
Shane

Compared to 'fast' surfskis the 510 is a heavy bathtub. It is 22kgs of fairly fat plastic.

Yesterday I was out in a bit of a breeze. When I rounded an island, the shallow seabed had 'interesting' effects on the swell. Multiple times the hull was in air past the bucket, with a corresponding smash when I landed. 

Absolutely solid, no worries.

They are much sterdier and less  susceptible of cracking.  For serious wave surfing, look in the Wave Witch Horizon.  

Absolutely sturdier. I've been paddling a rotomolded V5 for almost a year. Aside from its surfability, the plastic tames vibrations from chop, and provides peace of mind when going out and facing steep breakers, repeatedly. 
And talking about surfability:

Thanks. I like the look of that.

Being affordable I think I prefer this for a fun paddle in the surf than my new $5k hybrid 

Awesome! Just make sure you get the surf rudder. It really helps. 
Might seem heavy at first when carrying to the water. Once paddling, it feels quite nimble.

Hi STC67, I have a Epic V7, ideal for what you want for the "surf",the only problem I have with it is that it's heavy and a slow. I have a Epic as well V9, its fast but no good for "surf". I'm taking delivery of a Carbonology Sport SurfX in the next couple of days, I'm not competing with it, I just want a ski that's light and won't break in "surf", good luck with what ever you get..
cheers

Having punched a rudder up through the bottom of a composite i also am reluctant surfing hard into the shallows where there may be rocks lurking. Shore breaker waves are easier to catch than open water waves so you dont always need the constant high speed and quick acceleration that lighter boats offer. Suits shorter boats also. Just dont want to be so heavy that a trolley cart becomes necessary

The nelo 510 can be converted to lift-up rudder.

Every time I paddle off a steep or rocky beach I'm tempted to get the kit for this. 

I think most of the skis in this vid from Western Australia are plastic Spirit PRS 570, Breeze V5, etc.  Seem to survive OK.        Surf Ski Margaret River Waves (Autumn 2021) - YouTube
