The Epic 18 endurance is a kayak that can run competitively in open water, serve as a great fitness kayak, or get loaded up with gear for distance touring! Low resistance and good stability make for a great paddling kayak. It is 18′ long x 22″ wide, and approximately 45 lbs, with a SmarTrak rudder system. I have taken it to Desolation Sound, the San Juan Islands, and the West Coast of Vancouver Island. It is a fun boat. Great in the winter too.
