V10 Sport
Epic released the first photos of the V10 Sport today. The photos were taken in the new factory at the "undisclosed location".

 

Oscar Chalupsky, Epic's VP Sales, said that production of the new skis is on track and units should be available in April.

 

The V10 Sport is a slightly shorter, more stable version of the V10 that is touted to be only 4% slower. (The V10L a third model, identical to the V10 save for a lower volume nose, is also expected in the near future.)

the White hulls with the red seam looks like a rowing scull from the HangZhou Flying Eagle boat company in China

This is exactly the type of surf ski I want. It looks great. The only problem is that I hope it is 25% cheaper, eventhough only 4% slower.

V10 Sport price
written by Guest, February 10, 2006
They should be charging 25% more, due to the extra stability. Regardless of price, can't wait for the reviews of how it handles in confused seas.

Guys, I just ripped out a comment that I deemed inappropriate to a surf ski site. We don't do politics or religion.
Thanks

Too expensive!!!
written by Guest, February 13, 2006
From what I've heard the V10 is arguably the best ski around However, I've also heard that it comes with a price tag close to double that of it's competitors!!! That's enough to put me off. Guys at Epic - lets look at a more realistic pricing structure for the local market.

obviously you guys live in a bubble and have been spoiled with paying nominal prices for skis your whole career.
Its the world market that is driving this pricing as the V-10 is still cheaper than most 1-man canoes.

What world are you from? Twice the work goes in to one-mans and they are less than the v-10 carbon. Actually erverything is! If they are made in China then the cost should come way down.

What is on the next trestle?
written by lysao, April 23, 2006
It's look like OC-1.
When you look where the mens are, you could see an "ama", I think. It's too little to be a kayak.

the mystery hull
written by robin.mousley, April 23, 2006
As someone said in one of the earlier comments, it's a rowing scull - one of those weird boats that you row backwards.

The other hull
written by Alain Jaques, April 23, 2006
I see what Loic is referring to. The third hull (draped in plastic) in the last photo with the men behind it looks too small to be a scull.

next trestle
written by robin.mousley, April 23, 2006
Oops - sorry. Yep, I see it, it does look like an ama sticking out to one side.
