I've done about 40km paddling beside training partners who have been given them to paddle in the upcoming Avon Descent Race but I haven't been in one for a paddle yet. I couldn't ask them about stability as they both paddle elite level K1's so they would find most skis stable.
The plastic version is quick though, I did 26km in some bumpy stuff last night (stormy conditions) in an ocean ski at a moderate pace and my buddy in the Fury had no problems staying on my wash even cranking it up to close to 13km/hr for around 600m at one point.
While the bow is fairly sharp the underseat and back end is fairly flat so it appears to have the hallmarks of a stable boat.
I am testing another new ski at the moment that is aiming at the multisport market and has some similarities (low volume, shorter length, trailing rudder option).
I will have a review out on that in the next couple of weeks and if Spirit give me a crack at this one I would love to review them both having an understanding of multisport athletes.
