14. Review: Kayak Centre V10

(Info/Reviews)
Author : Rob Mousley ...re the Epic skis for the South African market and the first production units arrived in Cape Town at the end of May.

(Info/Reviews)
Author : Dave Jensen I'll start out my review of the Huki S1-X with my perspective of the recent past regarding surfskis here in Northern California. I think this will provide some good background info for the popularity of the S1-X here on the mainland US.

17. First Looks: V10 Sport

(Info/Reviews)
Author : Rob Mousley Hear Oscar talk about the Epic surf skis and the message is clear: "The V10 is the fastest, most stable, best designed, best built ski in the world and the V10 Sport comes a close second!" It’s more stable and slightly slower but, “On the V10 Sport, I could still win the Molokai against anyone on any ski (except the V10)&rdqu...

18. Review: Fenn Mako 6

(Info/Reviews)
Author : Rob Mousley Early in 2005 an outspoken manufacturer told me, “90% of paddlers can’t cope with top-end skis and shouldn’t be on them.” He was referring to the then current crop of tippy high-end surf skis. Then the Epic V10 burst onto the scene – and here was a fast, fun, top-end ski that could be handled by paddlers with ...

It’s been a lo...

20. Review: Drinking System

(Info/Reviews)
Author : Rob Mousley For long distance races, most paddlers (in South Africa at any rate) use drinking systems comprising a plastic bladder, a rubber tube and a clip. In order to drink, you’re obliged to stop paddling momentarily in order to insert the tube in your mouth and to undo the clip. And when you stop drinking, you have to pause again to fasten the cli...
