Every Honcho Surf Ski is a promise of quality and performance. A promise that comes from Head Honcho Andrew Fyfe, who personally builds our plugs and moulds - and supervises the construction of every boat we make.

And being the Honcho means being the leader - so we're fanatical about building our skis with precision and care and to the highest possible standards.

SOME TECHNICAL ADVANCEMENTS

The Seam
This is what Rob Mousley had to say about the way we join the hull and deck: "An interesting feature is the seam - which is almost invisible. Andrew uses what he calls a 'biscuit tin' join where the flange is included in the hull mould. He says this is far stronger than the conventional practice of adding the flange as a separate piece."
RTS - 'Return To Shore Technology'
It's a given: all rudder cables break at one time or another. So Head Honcho Andrew Fyfe invented an emergency steering solution called Return to Shore Technology - Rob Mousley again: 'The rudder box cover is fastened by two butterfly screws. This enables the cover to be removed without a screwdriver - to reveal an innovative emergency steering solution ... The Honcho solution comprises a short section of bungee cord that can be hooked onto one side of the tiller bar - the side that the rudder cable has broken - and hey presto! Steering is possible with one pedal."

DESIGN ADVICE
Honcho welcomes input from experienced paddlers and industry professionals, and we've taken design advice from racing yachts architect Phil Southwell as well as from some of South Africa's finest athletes.

PADDLING WISDOM

Sun Tzu said:
"Ponder and deliberate before you make a move."

In paddling, "Ponder and deliberate before you make a move" means training, training and training - and equipment. And, because you'll be spending hours and hours in your boat (and on your butt!), Honcho Surf Skis are designed for performance - but always with rider comfort in mind.

We think it's the best advice you can get on competition, on management ... on most anything.
