Two different animals. Nothing against Epic but if your not racing or always worried about speed then the traditional designs can be more playful. It's all about what you want out of a particular design.

the choice is clear: if you want a kayak that looks like a tug boat by an epic!

this vid concerns me, and fails to really explore the topic. the classic sea kayak was designed for good reason. look into it before posting something that is giving less than half of the story...shame on you. the rocker versus no rocker debate is old hat. its horses for courses...the paddler needs to assess their needs, and conditions, and find a compremise that will suit most situations. this crap is just giving false information.

Epic is a fast boat. Lets throw wind waves on top or swell and maneuver that thing through rocks to a take out.
Not what or who is it made for..?
Have a moderately skilled paddler work with a quartering or beam wind!
Rocker is there for a reason and as most club type paddles are 10 - 15 miles at moderate to slow speed being able to turn trumps speed.
Dissing other boats just annoys most of us.
All the splashing is fun dammit!!! i like it alot. makes me feel all macho and extreme....

My first sea kayak had no rocker to it... I'll tell you what, I'd rather go "bobbing over a wave" then trying to paddle thru it any day. If all you paddle in is .5 meter swells, then having no rocker will probably be OK, but put yourself in real, rough water and you'll want the boat with at least a bit of rocker to it!
