Comments for First Looks: V10 Sport at http://www.surfski.info , comment 0 to 11 out of 11 comments http://www.surfski.info Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:20:29 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/194/156/#pc_294 (and the amazing multi-part ski) As I said, they were specially done for Oscar... As I understand it, the ski\'s a one-off and they didn\'t want to highlight this aspect lest everyone on the planet ask for it. It\'s not available. (But I think it\'s a cute idea and the implementation is awesome.) - Guest Tue, 18 Apr 2006 16:05:14 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/194/156/#pc_293 Rob I can\'t beleive you missed it ! the two hatches are the access for unbolting the ski into 3 sections. The joints are so good you can hardly see them but they are there! look carefully at the pictures Cheers, Johann - Guest Tue, 18 Apr 2006 08:29:25 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/194/156/#pc_292 I have yet to see any comments re: the obvious comparison between the V10 Sport and Fenn Mako XT. Which is faster? Which is more stable? - Guest Tue, 18 Apr 2006 05:03:57 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/194/156/#pc_291 Yep, a good trial should include some measurement of acdtual speed. Better yet, speed relative to other skis. Thanks Rob! - Guest Mon, 17 Apr 2006 18:42:56 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/194/156/#pc_290 Hi All, Just my 2 cents worth: I managed to hop into the ski before Rob did his test runs. I am currently on a Mark 1 which is a good ski and has been kind to me but as a 3 times a week paddler struggle a bit with the dreaded \"side swell\" when there is a big swell running. Not that I fall out but I often find my-self bracing which ruins your rhythm and obviously saps energy. All I can say is that the V10S is the bomb. Really is a great ski which is fast and responsive but most NB felt, from a stability point of view, like I was in a Wedge ! Just felt so comfortable and solid as if you could not come out ... have E-Mailed off my order already !! Any-one looking for a good condition Mark 1 in Cape Town ?? ;-) Rob: I know you had your GPS on.. what were your speeds like ? Cheers - Guest Mon, 17 Apr 2006 18:20:29 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/194/156/#pc_289 The weight was about 14kg, and no, the deck hatches are not standard; that was specially done for Oscar I believe.

Will the two deck hatches be standard equipment? - Guest Mon, 17 Apr 2006 01:01:01 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/194/156/#pc_285 I don\'t think so - Oscar said he has V10 Ultra (10kg or lighter!) lined up for the race. Sorry about the security code - some b#$%^& in Canada who scams money from google-ads kept spamming us & it\'s the only way to stop him. - Guest Sun, 16 Apr 2006 20:36:58 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/194/156/#pc_284 benefit of using the sport in the Molokai race or \'not take any chances\' and use the V10 P.S. Rob thanks for the review but hate this security code hoop. - Guest Sun, 16 Apr 2006 20:25:51 +0100
