Does epic make a non-rotomolded v7
How did you get that v12 up there without touching the rocks with it?
In rocky cliff landing's i'd use a 20 foot rope tethered to the bow, I would then swim to shore and then haul and hoist the ski in and gently set it down on the rocks. If the rocks were particularly bad I might use a sleeping pad to protect the hull. a bit of a hassle - but over all worth the price of admission. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cool
more basic tips please! im having trouble understanding foot pressure is it constant or shifting
ideally foot pressure is pretty much constant, but shifts from one foot to the other as you rotate the hips.
This is wicked! How do you mount to your surf ski?
As a hobby touring paddler, this explains why I was so shocked by the average speeds they achieve in downwind races! Looks a blast.
thanks! Touring by surfski is pretty fun too, you should check out my other videos!
what music is it?
It's on the description "Bad Karma"
Dude, I love everything about this video. It’s a peaceful adventure filled masterpiece. Well done!
Interested.
sorry mate, sold a lonnng time ago...
Thats a great wrap design.
okey video men va fan ere för skit music
I’m looking for a place to rent Surfski for a group In Italy or the area - any help would be highly appreciated- thanks!
Where are you? I would be interested if it’s not a million miles away. Madison WI.
Ski is sold. Based in Newport Beach, CA
Update: This ski is sold. I will have more skis available in the future of this nature so be sure to subscribe. :)
Hi - where can you get the wrap??
Depends on where you are located. Most automotive vinyl wrap shops should be able to do it, but it is not cheap.
Beautiful surfski! Saw it in person when it was on display in Hal Rosoff race. Next owner will definitely have a great time with this!
Thanks Erick, the ski is sold and it’s new owner will doubtless enjoy her! Even it’s just sitting on the lawn it’s fun to watch it change color. Much more so on the water!
You ever sell this?
Yes - it sold within a few hours of posting.
wow, that is the perfect surfski, I'll take 2, one each for the wife & I.
Was mesmerised by the music, so fitting to the video. Thanks for introducing me to Superpoze.
🤘good to see you , Cheers and kind regards from Bavaria
Something I’ve always done but never had the ease of mind of knowing was correct …so thanks for the reassurance,great video and insight 👍
Amazing video and great choice of music! I can watch this over and over again!
Great Video!! What configuration are you using to film on your GoPro? For example, quality, FPS, lens size (Wide, narrow)?
You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do
Thanks for this. I have tried so many different methods, but never the silicon tape ( even though I have some in my shed)
Do you wear a dry suit? What is appropriate attire in PNW?
Nah. I wear a thin neoprene pant, and a splash top most days. "Appropriate" has a lot to do with conditions, and the paddler's level of develop vs risk tolerance.
love this. If using a wash rider paddle hand locator stick you will need 2 arms length of tape as the locator sticks are about double the width of this lovely gentleman's video..Video is well done and easy to follow. GREAT OUTCOME.Thank you

Hi, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I noticed you were wearing gloves in one of the images. Is there a specific brand and model you'd recommend for paddling? Do you find gloves better than pogies? Thank you again
Soooo excited to be looking at a V5 for regular runs in Lake Erie. Inspiring vid!

Are you really dancing if it's not spastic?
Glad to see you back and great video. Sometimes it is the small details that make all the difference.
Most helpful, really nicely produced video too - thanks!
Last year I've been using one layer of badminton racket grip- mainly because my palms are greasy after smearing sunblock on my skin. It is soft and tacky and lasted from April to October. The only thing I am going to change is the direction of wrapping- I followed someone's advice to start wrapping form the far end towards the middle so that the hand doesn't slide down- that in fact is only causing more blistering [by the way- don't only see palm calluses but no inner thumbs ones- how you do that :)?] As for the silicone- I will definitely give a try because is thinner [I don't know how'd work with the greasy palms though...]
I tried silicone and it doesn't work- still slippery. My latest finding that is the best- back to badminton racket grip but this time towel grip. It may get rough after a while from the salt water but if washing the paddle after each sortie it will keep it softer. Once in a while I use the car key to ruffle up a bit the towel and make it fluffy [as I do with my badminton racket too]
Damn! I love it from Hawai’i! More videos please! Technique looks great!
This is perfect! Is this a one-of-a-kind or did Epic do a short run of these?
