A great first ski coming from regular kayaks. In weird conditions like pushy cross-chop, most of the noise passes under the SR hull pretty smoothly, which is not always the case for touchy performance surf skis with more creative or advanced hull features. There are faster ski models out there if you don't mind capsizing a bunch while learning how to deal with them. Well, I would love to get my hands on second hand SR for a good price. I would prefer Excel lay up. I cannot comment on the Bluefin as I have not paddled one.
After time trialling both extensively the SR is the faster ski, on flat to moderate conditions. The V8 Pro is the better ski in big conditions. Both are stable, more than needed. I mainly paddle a V11 and the Vadja Next Yet when conditions call for a Big water ski the V8 Pro comes off the rack.
Either will be a great choice! So I was just timed out while replying and lost a long rant about people recommending skis that are too advanced for people. Why are people recommending intermediate skis to essentially beginners? Of all the variables in your overall downwind speed, your skis potential speed is the last thing that matters. All of those things trump ski speed by a LOT.. The SR is a big step up.
It will restrict your earning speed and when you can go out plus who will feel comfortable going out with you in the cold northwest waters. Plus you will be slower in the SR for a long time over a beginner ski. I have an S18s, SR and a number of other skis There is a lot of peer pressure in this sport to get a skinner and faster Surfski.
Where you are with skills and what you want to do, you will be nothing but hindered in an intermediate ski. You might be slower for years depending on how much you go out in conditions than in a beginner ski. Any stability issues will make all the things that actually make you fast harder to learn. When all those things are firmly in your pocket good stroke, solid stability in your ski in conditions, solid downwind skills Definitely go try a Bluefin Others in the area are far more experienced and can weigh in, but I have been paddling around Lake Washington on both boats for 2 years.
I am older than you 51 and had less paddling experience prior to jumping into the V10's. For the lake, either boat is now fine and the Sport feels rock solid even when the wind kicks up so don't sell yourself short.
We don't necessarily have the big swell that others on this forum get - unless you plan to hit the coast. I paddled through the winter on the Sport and didn't have any days where I was intimidated by the chop on the lake. Puget Sound is a slightly different story but I am getting there. The more boats you can try out on an extended paddle the better.
I was not an expert but I had a bomb proof roll and enjoyed rough conditions. I was surprised at how different these sports were. It was fun but far from easy at first. I learned pretty quickly that you just have to be stable. Nothing else matters if you are constantly worried about capsizing.
I tried a few skis and settled on a Bluefin. Any of the skis you have named will be potentially faster than a kayak going downwind. If you want to get out in proper downwind conditions you really need stability.

Blue Fin Sushi is the place to go when you are craving mass amounts of quality and delicious sushi. Personally, I love to eat at the sushi places around Seattle but this is truly the only place where you can get your money's worth in terms of sushi that won't make you sick! IF you ever tried sushi at places such as Super Buffet you will know exactly what I'm talking about. I have been to numerous buffets around the city and none of them come close to Blue Fin in terms of quality of the sushi and food.
Even if you are not in the mood for sushi, they have other items on the buffet such as Korean Kalbi shortribs and Chinese food as well. The Chinese food taste very authentic, they even have cooked Dungeness crab which may be messy but is soo delicious. The service is fast and friendly, they kept on refilling my free soda before I could even finish it!
All my plates were picked up after I was done, giving me space to grab another plate! I even got a discount because I'm a student! Best buffet i had!
Very delicious food and well worth the money! Lovin the desert too, they got creme burlee! He made sure that we were welcomed and sastified with everything. I would recomend this place for anyone that loves to eat! Best buffet I had! It's not just a sushi place either as it also has Korean, Chinese and other Japanese offerings which are all off the charts delicious. I will keep coming back to this great Northgate hotspot because it's just that good. Bring your appetite because once you start eating here you won't want to stop!
The best birthday party place — bluefin is the best birthday party place i've ever been to i had to bring three friends with me to get a free meal, and the food was awesome! It's still has the same friendly crew George, Jimmy.
