I have a v10 double, performance layup. On flatwater it paddles great as a solo. It is surprisingly fast. Much faster paddling it alone than with a beginner with poor balance in the back. It is comfortable and you could paddle all day alone on flat water. It is faster than a v8 like that. I would compare it to a v10 sport when paddled alone. I have not tried it alone in waves, though i once sprinted to the back of a large motorboat and surfed that for a while. Without weight in the back the rudder was in the air at times.
