Comments for New Fenn Single Ski Launched *** Updated *** at http://www.surfski.info , comment 0 to 20 out of 48 comments http://www.surfski.info Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:47:17 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_186 It would be nice to see pics on the hull as that in my opinion is the meat and potatoes if you will. Does it have a flat area throughout like the V-10 or just a touch of it? - Guest Sun, 26 Feb 2006 05:43:18 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_184 Sorry if i bless someone. I\'m interesting too about this new fenn who look finaly not very extraodinary. It looks like the Icon for the behind hull. - Guest Sun, 26 Feb 2006 05:16:08 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_181 Some folks who DO paddle alot are waiting to buy a new ski and are excited to hear about something that they are interested in .... redundant, refried comments with an implied (\"Bla, bla, bla\" ) negative spin which are not on topic are not really cute. - Guest Sat, 25 Feb 2006 09:05:58 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_180 Bla, Bla, Bla !!! Just wait and paddle it to know if it will be a good ski. Just want to say that is not the brand of the ski the most important but the training, the technique, the love of surfski of the paddler! So just wait, the patience is a tree whose his roots are bitter but the fruits delicious. Don\'t waist your time, life too short, go paddle and surf. - Guest Sat, 25 Feb 2006 04:56:19 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_179 Has the V-10 been sucessful in South Africa? - Guest Sat, 25 Feb 2006 03:59:07 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_178 Has anyone out there snapped a few photos of the new Fenn? I am dying to see it and bet it will be a winner!! As far as the V-10 vs the Fenn isn\'t it still the paddler with the most horsepower that wins? - Guest Sat, 25 Feb 2006 03:53:49 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_177 I have swapped my Fenn Mill for a V-10. I find the V-10 to be more stable in rough and mixed conditions. I feel the Fenn is more agile (easier to put her were I wanted her), picks up bumps better in light conditions that prevail often here in Southern California(8-15 mph winds), and has better flat water glide. I can\'t compare the speeds, but the V-10 just \"paddles\" heavier. I will stay in the V-10 because the added stability makes it a faster boat for me. - Guest Fri, 24 Feb 2006 23:02:53 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_176 It was nice to see a comment from a non elite paddler who tried the new FENN. Any other comments from testers would be appreciated. Also the last update was February 16, and I am sure a lot has happened in the last week, so maybe Rob can give us a little more! - Guest Fri, 24 Feb 2006 21:12:27 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_175 Red 7 Maurice Greene Of surf ski\'s.

I have had the exact opposite experience. I moved from a Mako to a V-10 glass to a V-10 carbon (thinking that was the problem) Then back to my old Mako with the old seat. My over all times once past the 8 mile mark are much quicker in the mako(Forerunner as well). The v-10 seat is stable and has a better seat and is wonderful downswell when it is big with a long trough it works perfect, yet I am a bit faster in the Mako in all around everyday water ( 1-5 foot wind/ flat) All in all, I like the V10 in the big stuff SA/HA. but I choose my Mako. I found the V10 would release once past 7.5 -7.8MPH or greater. Any thoughts on that? - Guest Fri, 24 Feb 2006 17:07:18 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_172 I have moved from a Fenn to an Epic and have been racing it since Xmas, I think that Keith is going to have to look at the V10 as a bench mark as it is a real step up. I have been recording my highest average speeds in races on the V10 (Forerunner), it is awesome - Guest Fri, 24 Feb 2006 11:29:08 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_171 In your opinion is it similar to the V-10 or a completly different looking ski? - Guest Fri, 24 Feb 2006 03:32:00 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_168 I paddled the new Fenn Mako two days ago for an hour, and was particularly impressed with how it handles. It takes to runs and surfs better than my current Fenn XT. I am not a great paddler, I struggle with my balance in rough conditions, but after a wobbly start, I relaxed and enjoyed the boat in what can best be described as a \"washing machine\" sea. It is beautiful to look at, long, sleek and simple. It is very strong and rigid, due to it\'s cylindrical shape. With a single adjustable footwell, it will suit a variety of paddlers, and will be easy to sell one day when you\'re too old to paddle. - Guest Thu, 23 Feb 2006 19:53:02 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_167 The espectations are so high somone are going to be dissapointed. - Guest Thu, 23 Feb 2006 17:43:37 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_166 Rome is such a glorious city and yet it was not built in day - sound familiar. Well the two new skis looks awesome, so believe me when i say it is worth the wait. i will be using this free time to go see my bank manager to arrange funds. And as far as the nasty comments,jealously makes you nasty. Ha-Ha :-) - Guest Thu, 23 Feb 2006 12:14:35 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_164 Besides looking wicked did you catch the rocker or bottom shape ? Thanks Gotta put me money out that is buring my pocket. - Guest Thu, 23 Feb 2006 09:59:17 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_163 Besides looking wicked did you catch the rocker or bottom shape ?

It seems that the popularity of the 1-man is due to the short learning curve. With the V-10 sport about to hit the market and the current Fenn XT we should have more people getting into our great sport! - Guest Thu, 23 Feb 2006 02:36:47 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/154/156/#pc_160 My opinion is that you are in the right track - Guest Thu, 23 Feb 2006 02:14:51 +0100
