What we say;
Epic 18X SPORT Performance Touring/Sea Kayak is one of the fastest and most comfortable kayaks on the market made of lightweight, stiff composite material. This model of kayak has won the Missouri River 340 mile race and Alabama 650.
What Epic Says;
The Epic 18X Sport is designed for intermediate to advanced touring paddlers seeking a distinct edge in a high-performance kayak. Paddlers find the stability and sleek, efficient shape of the 18X Sport to allow them to cover long distances with exceptional ease and speed, and that it performs great in rough water conditions.
In addition to all the features that come standard on an Epic, the 18X Sport includes Smart Track steering system, a day hatch, an 3 position adjustable seat, large storage capacity, and dramatic front deck cutaways for a closer, more efficient stroke.
While the 18X Sport and the 18X share the same overall width and length, the 18X Sport is .75" wider when measured at the 4" waterline.
