The most stable surfski in the Epic fleet just got a tune up! If you’re new to performance paddling, the Epic Kayaks V5 Gen 2 will allow you to jump on and go in all conditions, from mild to wild. Slightly longer, a touch narrower and lighter than the Gen 1 model, the V5 Gen 2 has an under-hull rudder and no storage hatch, just like our existing V-series surfskis. The excellent stability and hull speed gives beginners and more experienced paddlers alike the confidence to take it downwind, play in the surf zone with ease, and cruise flatwater with comfort and efficiency. The beloved Epic surfski cockpit has been further improved for additional comfort, and aids in proper ergonomic posture, thus enabling the paddler to use a powerful forward stroke. Our signature cutaway front deck design allows a close, efficient catch at the start of every stroke.
Available in two lightweight composite constructions, the V5 Gen 2 is even easier to carry to and from the water and unload from your car roof rack.
