After almost 16 years at the top of its class, the surfski that changed the game has been redesigned - the new Generation 3 V8 is here!
We have taken everything that made the V8 famous worldwide and updated it to incorporate literally hundreds of thousands of hours of on-water experience, customer feedback and design technologies, integrating into one new & very special boat that we hope will set the standard for many years to follow. We made the existing V8 hull even faster without compromising stability. The design incorporates all the latest innovations from the Epic team, including the sleek, low-profile bow design.
Now made with a seamless finish and two new construction lay-ups, the Gen 3 V8 includes all the components you have come to know and love about Epic surfskis (including but not limited to; the port/starboard handles, bow & stern handles, Epic footplate system etc) and incorporated these attributes on an entirely new design.
By blending speed, high stability and a performance oriented deck & outfitting, the V8 offers even higher levels of accessibility and opportunity for paddlers. If you're lookig for a fitness paddling craft that you can hop in and paddle from day one - or at least develop your skills in a calm harbor or ocean conditions - look no further.
The Best Part? We didn't touch the DNA. It retains the exact same legendary stability and comfort that has made the V8 the world's favourite surfski for beginners and seasoned pros alike.
