A comprehensive look at Think's brand new Six, an intermediate ski designed to be a little more user friendly than many in the market.
Expedition Kayaks have been Think dealers for many years and have a broad knowledge of the design and handling of these excellent skis. If you'd like more information get in touch through their website www.expeditionklayaks.com, or comment below.
Thanks for watching!

Very objective and excellent review. I have a Zen and have been watching the Six very closely. The Zen has been an awesome transition from Kayaking. There was certainly a learning curve getting used to a surf ski as well as the multitude of proper surf ski techniques - but it has been an absolute blast and I attribute much of that to picking the right initial surf ski. I hit the water 3 to 4 times a week year-round here in Seattle. The Zen handles well in all conditions but I am interested in another leap and the Six seems like it should be a good fit. I look forward to trying one!

Very informative and I hadn't thought about this boat I'm currently paddling a Fenn Elite SL on Sydney harbour but want to get into downwind ocean paddling Tried Epic V9 and liked it How does the 6 compare to the V9 in your opinion

Excelent and comprehensive review, thank you! stability wise, the think six is more like a V10 Sport or like a V9? Is it more stable or less stable than an Epic V9?

@MarkSundin Жыл бұрын

G'day Andre, we don't really compare skis across brands, you'd probably have to try them against each other and work that one out for yourself.

Hi, thank you for a great review. Can you clarify what you meant about secondary engagement? Are you saying this boat has a high secondary stability?

@MarkSundin 3 жыл бұрын

Yep, the secondary stability engages very early in the heeling of the ski. The Evo by comparison heels a lot further before you hit the secondary ‘bounce’.

@@MarkSundin thank you for replying. I am a little un-familiar with this....do you mean that once you start rolling over it will push you back sooner than the Evo?

main question is : can you do a short rpo and cons against the Epic v9 . Both ski's seem to be fairly close ot each other.

@MarkSundin 4 жыл бұрын

We also did a review of the V9 a few months back. They’re both great skis. You should get out and try them both.

@lennartblauweboot 4 жыл бұрын

Well both ski's have not made it to Europe yet. And finding a dealer who has demo's at the seaside closer then 1000 miles will be very hard. Your reviews make me think both are for paddlers similar.

@MarkSundin 4 жыл бұрын

@@lennartblauweboot Yes they're both skis that you should consider, both quite friendly intermediate designs. I find comparisons between brands very subjective, I prefer to speak about a particular ski in terms of it's own stable of designs, so if you watch our V9 review and this one you can then draw your own conclusions.

@@MarkSundin I am curious re this too. I was paddling a very old g1 epic v10 sport in flat water & just starting to think about getting it in the smallest of small swell before I got frozen shoulder. No general impression of whether one boat is perhaps more suitable for more novice paddlers?

@MarkSundin 3 жыл бұрын

@@ling20805 I’d say neither are really suited to novices mate. Back when I first started paddling skis the V10S was all we had at the stable end, but I had been ocean paddling for ten years when I first started in one and it was just manageable. For flat water it really doesn’t matter, but you’re unlikely to paddle in the rough stuff and have fun if you’re a novice.
