Club:

The Club layup is the most economical construction option we offer. It is also our heaviest construction, yet comparable to most competitors' standard boats.

• Fiberglass on a core mat
• Vacuum-bagged with polyester resin
• Available with Legacy K1 & K2, GPX and all surf skis
• Club construction boats have a blue seam line

Performance:

The Performance construction is a composite hybrid. We consider it to be the best value in the industry. Epic Performance kayaks are significantly lighter than the competition's equivalent products, yet are offered at a comparable price point.

• Foam core
• Composite hybrid of fiberglass, carbon fiber, and Kevlar
• Vacuum-infused, heat-cured epoxy
• Available on all kayaks and surf skis (sea kayaks have option of red, yellow, or white deck; surf skis all have white deck and hull)
• Performance construction boats have a black seam line

Ultra:

The Ultra construction is very light and popular with the fitness and racing paddlers. It is light, stiff, and extremely strong in the water. Our Ultra disclaimer states that while stronger in the water than the Value and Performance lay-ups, the Ultra is more susceptible to impact damage and requires more care when handling.

• Nomex foam core
• Woven Kevlar fabric
• Vacuum-bagged, heat-cured epoxy
• Available on all kayaks and surf skis (white decks and hulls only)
• Ultra construction boats have a red seam line

Elite:

The Elite construction is extremely light and stiff, a step up from the Ultra lay-up, but with similar durability. Being both lightweight and strong are priority number one for these boats, perfect cosmetic finishes cannot be expected.

• Nomex foam core
• Woven carbon fiber
• Wet laminate, vacuum bag
• Available on surf skis only
• All black carbon (no gel coat) with white decals
