Knysna Racing G40 was created by coldwater
Anyone got any comments on this boat?
I can say it is a work of art & extremely well made...it could be a real game changer.
Am interested if anyone who's paddled it has any comments...?

An amazing ski. Paddled it at Buffalo Bay this Sunday after hearing many good things. Exceeded my expectations by far. Conditions were choppy SEasterly, big swell. The G40 handled everyhing I placed it through. Side-chop, impressed most and extremely stable for such a fast ski. There is no doubt that this ski will impress right the way through from elite to guys ready for a decent ski after intermediate. Hope Knysna Racing accept lay-buys! I want one now¡

The G40 is an amazing ski. I was fortunate enough to get to paddle it in Knysna while on holiday and really enjoyed it. I am a competitive canoeist and always struggled climbing into a surfski with it being that much bigger and the seating position feeling as if my feet are higher than my seat. With the G40 as well as the G20 you feel as if you are in a canoe. Its nice and narrow so you can focus on putting in a good stroke as well as super fast, stable and catches runs better than any ski i have ever owned before. The skiis are also made really well with alot of attention to detail. I am relatively short so i got myself the G20 and am absolutely loveing it.

I traded my Epic V10 for the Genius G40, after paddling it in the Cape Point Challenge last year, it is a brilliant boat and good a ride

Giovanni - how do you find the stability of the G40 compared to the V10, as well as the G40's ability to surf downwind...?
I paddled a G40 a while back very briefly and was amazed at how stable it seemed, very similar in stability to some intermediate boats. (I would class myself a very intermediate paddler...) Your thoughts??
