New Stellar SE

Now that Stellar have released their much improved SR and SES models (cutaways, reduced cockpit volume, improved drainage etc), does anyone know if a similar upgraded SE/SEL is on the horizon? I currently paddle an early SES for calm waters and SR (both in Excel layup) for everything else, but are looking at upgrades/replacements and an SEL would probably replace the SR. No information on any Stellar website; (why are all ski manufacturers so slack in keeping their sites updated )

As long as the old stock isn't sold , there is no reason to promote new models I guess.

My question remains; are there new models (SE/SEL) on the horizon? ie have Stellar, or does Stellar intend to build/upgrade these skis.

Owen....Have you bothered to contact Stellar? I'd imagine that would be the first step to appease your curiosity.

Logically If the SES and SR have been upgraded you would think the next most popular models would be next in line for modifications.

Yes - via their webmail - still awaiting a reply. I agree that you would assume an upgrade, but why won't they tell us? (Incidentally their website shows some of the latest changes to the SES but nothing for the SR.) I'm still at a loss as to why most of the ski sites (with the notable exception of Epic) are so slack. Maybe this is one reason why Epics outsell all the other skis combined here.

Its funny Owen, the Fenn importer here was telling me he knew nothing about the Fenn Elite S until one showed up in the latest shipment, he didn't even know it existed or was coming. Still can't find anything about it other than by those that have seen or paddled one, which I guess is the best unbiased review you can have really, I don't believe a lot of the hype that the manufacturers put in their glossy brochures anyway.

Got a reply from Stellar Aus, here it is: "Thanks for your enquiry. As yet we haven't heard anything from the Factory on the changes for the SEL as they have been closed.
We hopefully will get a Quarterly product briefing from them in next week or so, and will let you know." Looks like I stick with the SR/SES combo for a while.

Better than nothing Owen. Least you finally got a reply mate.
