The All New V5 Tourer

Designed for superior touring and performance paddling, the V5 Tourer is ideal for paddlers wanting a stable, lightweight, high-performance sit-on-top kayak capable of navigating a wide range of waterways and conditions. Load the rear hatch with gear and head down a shallow river using the over-stern kick-up rudder. Or install the under-stern surfski rudder and go for an ocean downwind run! The V5 Tourer comes standard with both rudder options - excellent added value, with minimal modifications needed to change rudders - utilizing a full Epic footboard with steering pedals.

Built with the same hull dimensions as the V5 Surfski Generation 2, the V5 Tourer is an extremely versatile craft with excellent stability and speed that gives beginners and more experienced paddlers alike the confidence to explore their favorite environments with great efficiency.

The seat provides awesome comfort, and supports an ergonomic posture, enabling a powerful forward stroke. Epic's signature cutaway front deck design allows a close, efficient catch at the start of every stroke. Constructed from lighweight carbon/kevlar, the V5 Tourer is easy to carry to and from the water and unload from your car roof rack.

The V5 Tourer comes standard with the following: carbon fiber rear hatch cover, two bulkheads in the stern hatch space, kick-up rudder and uphaul line, optional under hull rudder, adjustable Epic foot brace, bow and stern handles, center carry handles, rear deck bungees, water bottle holder and Epic’s patented bailer.

The sit-on-top kayak style makes surfskis very user friendly and easy to remount.
