Rod and I wanted to know which surfski is faster in flatwater, the Epic V11 or the Epic V10 (first generation). We decided to do a 1/2 mile time trial (race) in each surfski. Watch along to see how much each surfski weighs, what the measurements of each boat are, and how we managed the rest period between each race to give each craft a fair assessment. We were both faster in the same craft. Which one do you think is faster in flat water? How much does each surfski weigh?

Gives a real world example of the v10 gen 1 being known for flat water speed even compared to later gens, whereas the v11 was designed more with downwind in mind. Any differences in hump size and how it may affect hip rotation?

V11 definitely has a deeper cockpit and lower hump. The lower seat surely helps with stability, but we don't really notice a lot of advantage in hip rotation in one over the other. It's just...different. The higher sides of the V11 make re-entry interesting -- we have some video of Rod trying to remount...we'll save that for the comedy reel... :)

Thanks my Aussie friend!! You are right, the V11 is a downwind boat, but I was really curious about its speed in the flat water and now we know. The hump under the legs is higher in the first generation V10. I don’t think it affects rotation too much. If you see this in the video you can blame it on my limited experience (only 1.5 years paddling a ski). I do feel like I sit lower in the V11 but I imagine that helps with balance in the rough water. I guess this video confirmed that in a flat water race, the V11 stays home. I know from personal experience that in a downwind, the V11 is my choice over the first gen V10. Thanks for watching the video and for the comment.
