Unlike most Epic ski reviewers, I'm not an elite kayaker. I do 200+ hours per year in a 17' sea kayak on the Ohio River. I'm 6' 195# w/ 34 inseam. The V10L has plenty of leg room and I've not found the seat to be narrow, as reported by others. It took 3 hours of paddling before I could keep my feet in the boat and paddle upright. After 6 hours I was doing 9-mile runs on the river and only spilling when encountering barge and boat wakes.
Unlike others, I do not find re-entry easy, much less possible, in deep water. I will master this ski but will have a longer curve than most, at age 64. Thought it would be good to have a review from a regular kayaker looking for a challenge and a workout...
