The goal of the V12 was to make the fastest surfski possible. Mission accomplished, until the V14 came along!
With more stability than the V14, the V12 is still an excellent choice for paddlers wanting an extremely fast surfski, yet not extremely unstable.
The V12’s results speak for themselves. It has won multiple Molokai World Championships wins in the hands of different paddlers and other wins all over the world in many different races.
