Epic V7: the most versatile surfski

It is made of rotomolded plastic, so it can handle rocks if you ever hit them by mistake. Even its rudder is nylon and extremely robust if you paddle in a too shallow area. An optional smart track rudder is available too. It has storage that's not that small, you can put some spare clothes, snacks etc. Much better than the little hatch at the back of a Think Ace per example. It is fast too. If you race and have to turn around markers, the V7 turns remarkably sharply, being shorter and stable. In big conditions the flexibility (compared to fibreglass/carbon) of the hull helps to tame all the bounces making it easy to retain stability for beginners.
