Here are some other comparisons between the V9 and the V8 Pro from this perspective.ġ. In practice this might enable the V9 to hold aggressive angles across waves. In theory this puts the paddler firmly in control - at the pivot centre of the ski. So let's have a look.įrom the side it looks like the V9 has been designed more closely around the paddler, the points of departure from full waterline (rocker points) occur just before the footplate and just after the seat. The V9 seems an achievable surfski for paddlers seeking a performance upgrade from the Pro. To keep up with the rapid improvement of these paddlers and help them access new areas and similar rates of improvement in the future, new designs are needed. In Tasmania it has represented one third of our Epic sales. The V8 Pro has helped many paddlers transition from beginner to intermediate level, and onto more demanding paddling challenges. Since its launch in 2016, the Epic V8 Pro has been one of the World's most popular surfski designs. We have very much enjoyed our time in this new ski.more on that later!īefore going too much further we thought a comparison with the V8 Pro would be useful for a lot of paddlers.
We put it straight to the test on our local sea breeze run, and over the next few weeks got to know it thoroughly in a good mix of conditions off the beaches and cliffs of Hobart. A few days later it had made its way to Tasmania. So went the conversation at the warehouse as we picked up our new Epic V9 Ultra.
"Serial number 001, so this is the first one ever made?"
