 Photo: Allan Booth At last we have a couple of photos of the new Fenn single ski! We're hoping for a few more soon, but here's what we've got. They confirm some of the reports that we've had from East London - the single footwell and the curved foredeck. Reports of its performance are sketchy, but I'm told that it's a lot more stable than the Millennium. Along with the Epic V10 I suspect that it will set a trend towards faster, more stable skis that lesser paddling mortals (such as me) will find easier to manage than the current generation of top end skis.
 Photo: Allan Booth Characteristics:
- Single footwell
- Single plate adjustable rudder pedals.
- Narrower than the Fenn Mako Millennium in front of the seat (i.e. in the area of the catch).
- Retains the wider seat (than the older Fenn Mako).
- Wider at and behind the seat.
Dimensions: The new ski has the following dimensions: - Length: 6.44m (i.e. 21' 1.4")
- Width: 44cm (17.3")
- Weight: same as the Fenn Millennium (i.e. 28-32 lbs - carbon graphite; 35-38 lbs - fibreglass)
Price: It'll be priced approx. the same as the Fenn XT  Photo: Allan Booth See also: A Paddle (and Conversation) with Keith Fenn (And many thanks to Allan Booth of East London who sent me the photos...!)
