Last April I was demoing some Epic boats, and had a chance to talk to Oscar C. about the V10L. At that time, he didn't have any details about the specs, but he did say it was going to be a complete redesign, aimed at the smaller paddler, both in fit and hull design. Specifically, shorter.
Also, I suspect they will be lowering the hump, and putting in their newer seat (like what is in the V12 and V14), which is much more comfortable than the old V10L seat. In April I did try the V14 and found it quite comfortable to sit in, but the footbrace did not even adjust to accommodate a short paddler (I am not short at all, for a woman - actually taller than average - and I had the footbrace as short as it would go).
I am very interested in seeing this boat and what Epic does with the design. I'd be really happy if it were under 20 ft (6.1 m). We shall see!
