SUP 12`6”

 

What does it matter if you have the fastest shape when you fall in the water at the slightest wave or at the buoy ? That is the reason why we search for perfect balance between hull speed and the highest possible stability when  developing this brand new race board. Working on my cad design tool I have tried to get the best in between a fast gliding hull and a good balance for the rider. For that I made a nice front bow to go through the water that has a very smooth transition to a flat middle and tail part for balance. I also worked on having a very smooth low rocker and have put all my knowledge in water release from Twenty years of R&D in windsurfing (that’s a key point to have performance windsurf experience) That’s why the board have a flat tail kick, sharp edges on the back and this 30° tail deck panel.
All those are to minimize the drag. Less drag= faster board. We also have an extra high front bow to avoid water from passing over the deck when going through short steep chop . The outline is very narrow in front to split the water while the tail is square to keep some area to use the energy of every little wave to help you on your paddling. All those details make the board faster on the average speed and make it feel like a gliding machine.

 Bottom Line: Whether racing or fitness, the new race gives always  100 percent.
