My internet sleuthing tells me that the Van Dusen Mohican is considered by many to be the fastest flat water surf ski around. Where I live surf skis are few and far between and I am not likely to find anybody who has a Mohican to let me try and see if really is all that special.
So, I ask those of you that own, have owned or have paddled a Mohican to weigh in. Does it possess an inherent advantage on flat water over the elite boats of Stellar, Epic, Think and Fenn? Is it a difficult kayak to paddle compared to other elite skis? Does the Mohican only suit a particular sort of paddler (big,small,elite,etc.)?
I know most think the whole point of a surf ski is to, well, surf, but I believe the vast majority of surfski owners are racing them primarily on flat water. In the US (and in the rest of the world, I suspect) there are far, far more river and lake races than open water ones.
