The SLS 10 has been designed in collaboration with 16 times Australian Surf Life Saving champion Clint Robinson. Epic’s chief designer, Greg Barton & Clint carefully spent time testing and re-testing every element of the design on multiple prototypes to get it perfect. The result is a ski that has incredible speed, comfort & strength.

Some of the key elements of the SLS 10 include:

• Highly efficient when heading out through the waves. As it punches over, the white water surrounds the tail of the boat, giving it the ability to stay straight.

• The lifter at the front of the ski and deck have been developed to help the paddler keep momentum through waves & minimizes the amount of water that hits the paddler or slows down their speed.

• The hull of the ski provides strong pick up pressure from ocean runners and allows the paddler to head down wind or back to the beach with good assistance.

• The rocker throughout the shape provides good flat to light conditions speed, as well as the ability to move smoothly out in the ocean waves and swell.

• The cockpit provides excellent paddler comfort and biomechanics, allowing them to generate quality speed & power.

• The double foot-well system in the adjustable SLS 10 minimizes the volume of water that is carried in the cockpit. This system is extremely strong and supportive for quality leg drive.

• The SLS10 is a product to paddle anywhere at any time - it has strong internal support and is built in Epic’s extremely strong, stiff and durable vacuum infused, heat cured composite of Carbon, Fiber Glass & Kevlar.

The SLS 10 (adjustable footboard) will be followed by a fixed leg length version of the ski, with the same hull. The fixed length version is still in the prototype phase & being finalized.
