The new Epic Boat Sock will help protect your boat while in storage or on the road - it is a great addition to your Epic products. There are several sizes available, and they are fitted to your ski.
Note that the fit is not as tight in the back part of the boat, as there is some space in the sock to account for the shape of the skis as well as to accept any length rudder. V7 fits into the V8 cover with a bit of extra material left unused.
Warning: The boat sock is breathable and therefore is not waterproof or completely dustproof. The sock does not provide protection from hard impacts or from dropping your boat.
The Epic Kayaks boat stands are the perfect way to store your ski! They also make a convenient support while you are washing your kayak and are easily transported to use before a race or a paddle while setting up your boat. They are made from lightweight aluminum and the durable fabric sling conforms perfectly to the shape of your boat. They fold flat for transporting or storage when not in use.
Always try to support the weight of your kayak equally (do not place stands at the very ends of the boat). On shorter and wider boats, it may be necessary to move the stands a bit further towards the bow/stern than the skinnier boats. This is acceptable.
Perfect leash for races, for a quick-release at the end of the race. Coil leash attaches just below the knee.
The Deluxe Leg Leash is equipped with a quick-release carabiner. This is a valuable feature for paddlers, as you typically do not want to be attached to your boat in larger shore break conditions.
We recommend that you always use a leash! In strong winds, our lightweight boats can blow away from you faster than you can swim. Practice your remounts while wearing your leash(es) so there are no surprises when you are forced to remount.
Please note: these leashes are designed for use in races for the quick release carabiner and are not guaranteed to stay connected under extreme tension, or in extreme conditions.
The Gen 3 Footboard Assembly clips into these Gen 3 Rails. If you are upgrading from the Gen 2 metal footboard system then you require these rails with the Gen 3 Footboard Assembly. These rails have closer increment holes which provide the paddlers with more options for the leg length.
There are two lengths of rails, depending on the ski that you own, so please make sure you select the correct surf ski when making your purchase online to ensure the correct length is dispatched.
Long Rails with smaller increment holes Long for V10/ V10L/ V12/ V14 (Gen 3) Footboard
Short Rails with small increment holes for V6/ V8/ V10Sport/ V10Double (Gen 3) Footboard

Our customers asked for a ski optimized for downwind surf conditions – and we’ve delivered! Greg Barton has melded the features from our highly acclaimed 2017 edition V12 with the new V10. This is a nimble surfing boat for advanced paddlers, that doesn’t require elite level stability skills.
The original Epic V10 introduced many user-friendly advances that are now common on top surfskis. The single footwell and adjustable foot brace with self-adjusting pedals – all V10 innovations! The original V10 greatly expanded the surfski market with a blend of speed, handling and stability.
The Gen 3 V10 has increased rocker and modified seat placement. The length is reduced to 20’6” or 6.25m. Greg’s analysis showed this length, combined with the new rocker profile, gives a noticeable improvement in maneuverability while maintaining good hull speed. Stability is similar to the Gen 2 V10 which feels rock solid for advanced paddlers in a variety of conditions.
The ergonomic cockpit facilitates easy remounting, and the adjustable Epic bailer keeps your ride dry. The new V10 seat is barely wider than the V12 seat – still narrow enough to feel secure for average to smaller paddlers, with a few added mm to accommodate those squeezed in the V12 or V14. The under-knee hump is reduced for improved leg drive.
Experienced paddlers will find the 2018 V10 to be the perfect all-around boat for a variety of conditions. But don’t take our word for it - test drive the new V10 at an Epic dealer near you!

The all-new third generation V12 is designed to be the ultimate downwind machine for advanced to elite level paddlers. The updated design has more rocker, a more responsive rudder position, and incorporates the very popular V11 cockpit all with more stability than the V14. The slightly shorter length in the Gen 3 V12 allows the ski to turn on a dime and not miss a beat.
After testing several prototypes in locations around the world, we feel this is the best surfski for elite, open-water paddling, especially in big downwinds. The ski is designed to surf runs for longer and pop up quicker at the bottom of a run- ensuring more momentum. The V12 is faster than the V10 on flat water and is a good choice for those looking to move up. Highly skilled elite level paddlers with perfect stability skills will find the V14 slightly faster on flat water. But as soon as the wind and waves pick up the new V12 will be their weapon of choice.

With a hull design featuring specs of 18’ x 21.25”, the V8 is unique in its class. Fast, yet extremely stable, this is a surfski that most kayakers should be able to hop right onto and paddle off. The deck features all the surfski simplicity of the V10 and V12, the main components being a fully adjustable footbrace and rear deck bungees.
The V8 also incorporates some new features that add to its user friendly appeal: molded in bow & stern carry handles, and a water bottle holder in the cockpit. The Epic bailer, breather tube and Epic surfski rudder configurations are standard.
Our goal with the V8 is to provide a boat that bridges the gap between sea kayaks and surfskis. By blending speed, high stability and a performance oriented deck & outfitting, the V8 offers new levels of accessibility and opportunity.
Fitness paddlers and racers who want extra emphasis on stability, touring kayakers looking to make the transition to high performance surfskis, or cruisers looking for a simple, efficient boat for a day on the water. The V8 will take you there.

Surfskis are no longer unstable racing craft capable of being paddled only by professional athletes. Most levels of paddler can get onto a V8 DOUBLE and paddle proficiently from the first day.
Newbies will appreciate the way they can jump on and go without spending their first sessions bracing or capsizing. The V8 Double gives intermediate paddlers the confidence to venture out into more adventurous conditions - Surf’s up! Experts will enjoy showing their non-paddling friends or relatives the thrill of surfski paddling. The V8 Double is also the perfect vehicle for parents to introduce surfski to their kids.
The Epic V8 double is easy to carry with side handles at each cockpit in addition to bow & stern handles. The front cockpit accommodates paddlers from 5’0” to 6’7” in height, while the rear cockpit will fit those from 4’10” to 6’5” tall.
The V9 has it all in spades. The latest entry to the Epic surfski line up can take you to new and exciting places you’ve only dreamed of: downwind surfing, open-ocean crossings, challenging races, fitness sessions, or just plain fun. Decades of experience in advanced hull designs have produced the most versatile surfski on the water! At 19’ x 19”, the V9 was designed by Epic’s founder and chief designer, Greg Barton, to fill a sweet spot between the V8 Pro and V10 Sport. Like the Gen 3 V10, the V9 has been optimized for downwind surfing, with increased rocker, and stability. Flatwater speed is a step up from the V8 Pro due to the slightly narrower beam. This is the boat many paddlers have been waiting their whole lives for – the one that launches you onto the swells, glides efficiently across the water, and keeps you in the “zone”.
The comfort of Epic surfskis is legendary. We believe that better comfort leads to greater performance. If you’re not comfortable in the boat, nothing else matters! The seat ergonomics of the V9 are superb, incorporating the shape of the Gen 3 V10 seat, with a lower “hump” under the knees for improved leg power. The cockpit configuration, with the fully adjustable Epic footboard, accommodates paddlers from 4’11 to 6’6” tall (1.5 to 1.99 m). Our popular side carry handles make it a breeze to carry solo.
The V9 also comes with Epic’s revolutionary high-volume bailer system. The bailer can be completely closed for flat or cold water environments, and has four adjustable positions depending on the conditions, from mild to wild. It can be easily operated with your foot so you never miss a stroke.
Decades of experience in the making, by arguably one of the world’s best designers, the V9 is the boat we have all been waiting for!
