Paddling the V10 Sport
Today I paddled the V10 Sport and it worked great. The stability was incredible and the boat handled very well. This boat is perfect for those who want to paddle fast, but don't have the stability of a paddler that has grown up paddling tippy boats over several years. While I didn't get it out oun the ocean, I did manage to get a good ride drafting a power boat. The V10 Sport was easy to ride, and cut back and forth across the waves. It handle much likes it's faster cousin, the Epic V10, but with much more stability. This will be appreciated by many paddlers in open ocean conditions.
The seat in the Epic V10 Sport is very comfortable. We widened it out to give more hip room. The foot pedals have even more adustment than our V10 - fitting paddlers all the way down to 5'1".
The only downside of my outing, was that the batteries died on my camera and I was not able to get a good photo. Luckily we were able to get a couple shots from a cell phone which I've posted here. Stay tuned and we'll get you some better photos and keep you posted on when the V10 Sport will be available.
Happy Paddling!
