A K1 paddler very similar to my ability can reach ~19km/h in top speed, in my ski (Fenn elite S) I can do around
17 Km/h and with the glide a little more.
The Epic V12 is the worst-slower ski I have ever been on

The V12 obviously doesn't work for you, but it is clearly not a slow ski. I believe Clint Robinson said after a year of training in it that it was faster than any boat he had ever paddled in or against. I think there is a big difference between epic and fenn ergonomics, and some paddlers have a really tough time switching from one to the other.

I took what he meant was he hasn't paddled anything below/slower than a V12. I don't think he was casting aspersions on it.???
Maybe you are right!
Greg Barton said the v12 was the only boat he could paddle faster than an icf K1 back when they released it. he also said that that difference would be larger for less skilked paddlers. Now there are skis faster than the v12 of course.
Now i know Gregg doesn't beat his chest on this forum very often. But he is probably still pretty well qualified to assess the speed diference between ski and k1!

I was paddling for months a V10 and I was happy, also test the V14 and liked it.
I have Jump on a Think uno max and I could go fast from the start.
The Glide is the fastest I have ever ride, but I wouldn't take it out to big conditions.
Nelo must be fast but very unstable for me.
