Current Designs Nomad: Long, narrow, and fast. If you want speed while touring, then the Nomad will suit your needs. At Cascade, we think this is one of the finest touring kayaks ever made. The Extreme is a very fast and versatile touring kayak. A shallow "V" hull provides confident stability to a hull that is only 21-1/4" wide. The long slender waterline adds to the efficiency of the hull and gives you an extremely fast open water touring boat. It slices through waves with ease, maneuvers well and allows the paddler to handle adverse conditions with confidence. With its carrying capacity and seaworthy design the Extreme can handle expeditions, extended tours, or day trips, with equal ease.

Epic V10 Surf Ski: V10 was designed from the ground up by Oscar Chalupsky, Greg Barton and computer whiz John Dixon. It's incredibly fast and agile while maintaining comfortable stability. While Epic met their goal of designing a boat that is faster than the competition on flat water, the Epic V10 really shines in downwind and upwind heavy sea conditions. A fully adjustable footbrace combines with a high capacity venturi drain to keep water out. The single footwell and front deck cutaway allows for a closer, more powerful stroke.
