Epic's goal for this boat was to make a boat faster than anything existing in the class, while still making it user friendly enough that a large number of people could enjoy it. The seat is very comfortable and ergonomics are superior with the cut outs to allow a closer paddle stroke. Bailers are standard in both cockpits, allowing quick drainage when needed, with the option to close them and give a dry cockpit with decreased drag in flat conditions. It is suitable for two intermediate paddlers or a beginner paddling with an advanced paddler.
