I have an old V10S from 2006 and it remains near mint and now after 16 years needs to have upper deck re-fiber taped to the lower deck, expected from heavy chop and hull torsion. The concept is a good one as I loved this for rivers and creeks with hazards but since it is impossible to repair in structural areas buy an older composite ski where a few dings or dents are no matter and repairs with fiberglass, resin, and gel coat can easily be made. The V7 is the newest of the plastic and is now full of stress cracks including ones discovered horizontal just forward and aft of the bailer now making is structurally unsafe to paddle. I have 7 kayaks, 5 skis, 1 sea kayak 1/2 PVC/thermal plastics and 1/2 composite all stored and cared for in the same manner.

It's surface was pitted out of the container as were all the others as well as dented form shipping pressure points so I picked the best of the worst. However, due to the single predictor of wind speed for either model, they both fail under swell conditions and modulation of the wave field by surface currents, leaving room for future improvement by the inclusion of additional variables.I have a V7 from the 1st container to the states from 2014. These results illustrate a comprehensive improvement in regional H s predictions under hurricane conditions. Mean average percentage errors were also significantly lower using the CS model for H s predictions compared to the SCS model. Results illustrate that the proposed CS model can achieve similar correlation coefficients between observed and simulated H s as the SCS model, but crucially, the CS model produces approximately half the root mean square error generated by the SCS model. Results are compared with the current South China Sea (SCS) state-of-the-art using 10 other hurricanes that passed through the CS from 2011–2019. Thus, using Hurricane Dorian (2019) a case study, an empirical wind-wave model for forecasting hurricane-induced wind seas is proposed for the Caribbean Sea (CS). Significant wave height ( H s) is one of the primary variables scrutinized during extreme events.

Under excitation by hurricanes, previously quiescent wave fields and their properties can rapidly evolve as they absorb energy from the turbulent atmosphere.
