V8

V8

Quite simply this is the Ski that changed the sport.

Previously surfski was viewed as an inaccessible, racing, elite sport but the V8 opened the sport to be enjoyed by all, providing stability without compromising the surfing ability of a performance hull. A world leader, giving unrivalled performance with good stability and great moveability.

For the UK market only, the V8 is now built in the UK under licence to Epic by Kirton Kayaks, providing the best of all worlds. Used by many coaches to pass on Surfski skills and techniques the V8 is one of the most popular skis in the world, and deservedly so.

Fitness paddlers and racers who want extra emphasis on stability, touring kayakers looking to make the transition from sea kayaks to high performance surfskis, or cruisers looking for a simple, efficient boat for a day on the water.

The V8 will take you there. With a smile on your face.

In the UK the V8 comes in two models: As a standard Surfski and now with a Touring version available with front and back hatches and the option to fit a sea kayak Smart Track Kick-up Rudder.
