Hi Mike,
It was great to meet you as well ! thanks again for your help and advice...
how did your races go yesterday ?
I did get out on Sunday morning....challenging conditions with strong gusty wind and rolling waves...
the V8 was awesome ! very stable and loads of fun....I felt strong and safe and fast almost immediately...I can tell its going to be perfect for my paddling goals ! the wing paddle was awesome too, wow does it feel stable....I'm heading out again tonight as soon as I can get out of work....likely I'll try to see if I can climb back in from deep water - then I'll really feel safe venturing out on the open water
I'll try to watch the paddling video this week or next, and get it in the mail back to you once I've checked it out....
bye for now Mike,
Murray

I just purchased one from Mike after taking it for a few days on lake Huron for a trial. It is VERY good on lake waves and lots of fun! It is much more stable than any flatwater kayak and no risk of filling up with water. We had some non-paddler friends take it for a whirl and, although a little intimidated at first by the look of it, they were able to paddle around with no problems, even on windy days this past weekend. I had lots of fun on it as did my wife and daughters, it is easy to get a good workout in no matter what the water/wind conditions. Actually, the more wind/wave the better on the V8. I highly recommend it.

there 2 x key issues that I look for when buying a high end kayak is good service and knowledge of the product. Mike is the best I have worked with.
Now the V8 – this is a brilliant change to a traditional cockpit kayaking. Stable and fast and fun – that is how I would classify the V8.

Subject: RE: V12
We recently purchased an Epic V12 form Kayak Sport Canada and we were thoroughly impressed with the experience. Michael took us through all of our options and helped us to find the right boat. He went the extra mile to ensure a smooth process for us, even lending us a roof rack for the boat until we could have one custom made. Their reputation, expertise, and desire to see the best for their customers, has made Kayak Sport Canada the only place that we'll go for our water sport equipment."

Hello again Mike,
Here is my review for the V8 and Kayak Sport Canada...
it really has been a delight in every way to have met you...I really appreciate your advice and willingness to help...plus your trust...it means a lot - well done my friend !
Epic V8.....Wheeee, what a boat ! I bought the V8 to race multisport events on relatively flat water. As a rookie in race kayaks I immediately found the boat a joy to paddle - fast and very stable. As a bonus, I live in Kingston on Lake Ontario and I've found the boat even more fun to venture out in the waves...the bigger the better ! I feel totally safe on the open water which adds an element to the boat that I could not have with a pure racing kayak....if you do happen to dump it, even in deep water...its a snap to climb back on and away you go!
As for the service from Mike at Kayak Sport Canada, its simply not possible to overstate how helpful and considerate he has been. Its not every day you start by looking to buy something, and end up with exactly what you need plus a new friend !

As a marathon canoeist I'm always looking for that extra edge. Winning is important and having the right equipment is essential to compete. After winning the 1,100 kms Sask.Canoe Quest and the 740 kms long distance Yukon River Quest with my team in 2008 by setting a new course record of 39 hrs and 32 mins, I wanted to go solo in a kayak. I had used different kayaks over the years, such as necky and current designs but I was looking for something with a sleeker design that was lighter, faster, and had excellent tracking ability. When I learned about the Epic 18X's resume of winning races and that it had more wins in the Yukon River Quest race solo class than any other kayak, I knew it would be my choice. The fact that I would have the ability to accelerate, and paddle faster than I ever have before for longer time periods made the choice to purchase an Epic 18X even easier. I received excellent customer service with tips from Mike Fekete on training programs and product support. All of my water sport equipment needs were readily available at Kayak Sport Canada. The service I received was superior and I recommend anyone to shop there first before going to any other sports shop.

Epic V-8 (surfski / kayak) |
|
With a hull design featuring specs of 18’ x 22”, 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. Venturi drain, 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.

Epic V-10 |
|
Designed from the ground up by Oscar Chalupsky, Greg Barton, and computer whiz John Dixon, the Epic V10 is incredibly fast and agile while maintaining comfortable stability. While we met our goal of designing a boat that is faster than the competition on flat water, the Epic V10 really shines in downwind and upwind heavy sea conditions. A fully adjustable footbrace combines with a high-capacity venturi drain to keep water out. The single footwell and front deck cutaway allow for a closer, more powerful stroke. The adjustable footbrace with self-adjusting pedals will accommodate paddlers from 5'3" to 6'7" in height. A smaller paddler would be better served by our V10L surf ski model.

Seabird-Surfski |
|
 |
Seabird is launching the Wave Surfskis.
These full carbon surfskis may look like most competitive new surfskis - fast, fast, fast...
but they also tried to make it a little more forgiving than comparable skis.
