Nice vid w/good music! The V12 definitely has a bit of an edge over the V10, but more than anything I'd say that the bucket is very different. The V10 is way wide compared to the V12's. I weigh 160lbs and the V12 is a fabulous fit plus has a higher seating position, while in the V10 I just slide around. I'm sure for others it'll be just the opposite. Both skis are lots of fun!

Thanks Thorsten! I'm probably even skinnier than you in the hips, so I just use some hip pads in all the Epic skis to get the fit I want. BTW, this video was made with "tongue & cheek" humor as we know the V12 is faster but I still was able to outsurf Robin at times as I'm more stable on the 10. Sometimes the motor is more important than the hull!

@@KKhowell Yeah, and there were moments where Robin could have zoomed by but had the camera on you instead... ;-) Incidentally, I paddled my V10 yesterday first time in 5 months due to stormy conditions and wanting to support some SUP foilers. I would agree it's all about the motor. Mine just functions a lot better in the V12, but that will vary person to person. Also, it took me 2 years 3x/week to be fully comfortable in the V12, as in feeling that stability is a total non-issue, so it's great if you have the long view... I'm sure others will adapt more quickly :-). Anyway you turn it, both are really great surfskis!

I have a V9 v10 and V11. All 3 are great DW skis, though for my skill level the V9 and V10 perform better for me in rough to moderate conditions.

I've only paddled a V11 once and in flat conditions. It felt like a very nice compact well-connected ski. If stability is an issue keep taking it out when safe and with practice the stability will improve and the fun with it! Your body needs to learn the reflexes that keep you upright...

After owning a V5 & V7 rotomold which surfski would you recommend with balance of stability and speed?

Epic v8 or stellar s18s. The rule of thumb is stability before availability. Don't buy something like a V10 or V12 thinking you're going to grow into it. Edit: I just noticed this post was a year old. What did you end up getting?

Alvin, you can probably step up to the V8 or V8 Pro!

v12 probably needs wider swell pocket in order to excel past the v10.

I'm not sure I follow. It looks like the vid has a V12g2 and my experience was that in small conditions it feels like it bridges over waves nicely. In the case of a V12g3 it's actually shorter than a V10g3... (I like the V12g3 better but I'm biased)
