Winter paddling can be absolutely EPIC.
Sure, it’s cold — but winter often delivers some of the best conditions of the year. Glassed-off mornings, mirror-flat water, crisp fresh air, and stunning sunrises that make every paddle worthwhile.
Don’t say it’s too cold. Get the right gear, rug up, and get out there. Once you’re on the water, you’ll wonder why you ever stayed in bed.
The Swan River has been putting on a show lately, with some amazing dolphins hanging around, including a couple of young calves cruising alongside the paddlers. Encounters like that are what make winter sessions so special.
Calm water, incredible wildlife, and peaceful mornings — it doesn’t get much better than that.
Get out there and enjoy the EPIC winter conditions! 🛶❄️🐬🌅

Get in touch with Travis to find out more about the V10 Ultra Gen 4 - DEMO $4150 / retails at $5250
Advanced performance, phenomenal comfort, and cutting-edge design. These elements define the all-new Gen 4 V10.
Sharing the unique bow shape of the Gen 3 V12, the Gen 4 V10 surfs like a dream, rising up after slicing into a wave, and is less affected by cross winds. With the streamlined bow and a greater rocker profile.
Stability has improved over previous V10 versions, improved seat ergonomics put the paddler in a more upright position while the lower hump height allows more effective leg drive.
We have created a unique, nimble boat for advanced/intermediate skilled paddlers that doesn’t require elite level stability skills. Take your paddling to the next level with the Gen 4 V10.

.. 🆕 EPIC V8 Performance, black tip at 💲4000.
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. The Epic bailer, 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.🚣
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.
