Introducing the new V10 Sport
The original...
Born to be a
winner
The Epic V10 Sport was a game changer when Þrst introduced to the surf ski world
in 2006. Epic offered the Þrst stable surf ski that was still extremely fast in down
wind conditions and on ßat water. The V10 Sport ßattened the learning curve for
many paddlers who wanted to go to the next level but could not paddle efÞciently
in a less stable surf ski used by the professional and highly experienced paddlers.
Based on its forgiving, yet incredible performance, the V10 Sport was EpicÕs best
selling surf ski for 5 years. Both Greg Barton and Oscar Chalupsky won races in the
V10 Sport. It became one of the most successful and imitated surf skis ever!
Fast,
agile and...
stable
Epic has raised the bar again with the all NEW, FASTER, and more userfriendly V10 Sport, all without any loss of stability. The NEW V10 Sport is
the best all-around surf ski for intermediate to advanced paddlers in a
variety of conditions! Intermediate level paddlers will quickly appreciate the
higher speeds on ßat water, while advanced paddlers will enjoy the
enhanced balance, speed and handling characteristics in the big stuff!
Epic
technology
At Epic, we design all of our own products, controlling the production from
idea to Þnished product. This has allowed us to generate an enormous
database of design ideas and implementations for the last 10 years. If we
need to tweak a given design to get the desired result, we know exactly
where to focus. The V10 Sport will be shipping with all of Epic’s 2013
innovations and new design features.

All Epic Kayaks surfski rudders ship with a titanium rudder
shaft for extra strength and minimum weight.
Surf rudder: Has elliptical shape and has been designed for
maximum control and stability in downwind conditions.
Standard/ Universal rudder: Has been designed to
allow good maneuverability in rough seas and also removal of
obstructions like sea weed, plastics and ropes.
Weedless rudder: Has been designed to remove all
obstructions while providing sufÞcient steering control in
moderate seas.
All of our foot braces now include extra reinforced hinges with thicker
walls and metal hinge rod. This means less wear and tear and lower
maintenance costs. There is an integrated cutaway for your drinking
system which will allow you to get easy access to a water system stored
in front of the cockpit.
Large: designed for people with large feet so they can push against the
foot brace without engaging the rudder pedals.
Standard: designed to Þt most paddlers.
Tall Boy: designed to Þt over the cockpit edge allowing extra distance
in the cockpit for paddlers with long legs.

Cockpit
set up
Paddling the NEW V10 Sport with deck
cutaways gives you a narrower catch,
similar to a K-1 racing kayak. This
allows for better paddling technique
and matches the feeling and efÞciency
of the fastest boats in the world.
The entire cockpit has been redesigned
including a lower hump under the
knees for increased stability and better
leg drive. The improved, contoured seat
can comfortably Þt a wide range of
paddlers.
Ergonomic
handles
EPIC’s all new lightweight and ergonomic
HANDLES for easier carrying in heavy
wind conditions and for easier tie down.
Revolutionary
bailer system
We believe that within 2-3 years every
surfski on the market will have this as a
standard feature. The new EPIC BAILER
(patent pending) bails 6 times faster than
any conventional venturi or bullet
system. It can be operated by the
paddler’s feet, which means you don't
have to miss a single paddling stroke. The
bailer can be completely closed for ßat
or cold water conditions and has four
adjustable positions depending on the
conditions. Oscar Chalupsky tested the
prototype of the new bailer at the
Molokai World Championships in 2012
and says it was a factor in helping him
win. Clint Robinson used the new bailer
when he won the 2013 Molokai World
Championships on the Epic V14.
