  KEY FEATURES

  Slices through water without leaving a trace behind. Even when paddling at power, the nose displaces the water without disturbance or splash, creating a feeling of pure efficiency and speed. The narrow nose also helps the board track in a straight line.

  

  PARALLEL MID-SECTION

  The narrowed nose gradually widens into a more parallel mid-section to maximize stability where you stand.

  PROFILE

  OPTIMIZES THE TRUE “WATERLINE”

  Providing enough volume to glide smoothly without water splashing or wrapping over the deck.

   

  CUTAWAY TAIL

  INSPIRED FROM YEARS OF SUCCESS IN WINDSURFING

  • The cutaway at the tail increases the speed by reducing drag from narrow wetted surface area.
  • The cutaway allows you to increase speed as the water feels a narrower planing surface yet maintain stability from the full tail outline.
  • The cutaway acts as a stabiliser, when conditions get choppy, the decks outline catches and stops the board from rolling.

  

   

  RECESSED STORAGE COMPARTMENT

  • Positioned just in front of the feet making it easy and fast to access any gears.
  • Recessing compartment improves aerodynamics for a faster glide, limits water flushing in and makes it more secure to stow gears.

  

   

  WIDE TAIL

  From the mid-section, the tail is kept wide to maintain stability when stepping back to turn and holds enough buoyancy to carry gears.

  

   

  RAIL EDGE

  A defined rail edge helps restrict water wrapping onto the deck and sheers water off the nose.

  

   

  RECESSED STANDING AREA

  Lowers the paddlers centre of gravity for increased stability and control.

  EVA TRACTION PAD WITH STANDING MARKS

  • Soft EVA deck pad with crocodile texture provides a comfortable grip when paddling.
  • Die-cut standing marks indicate the ideal standing position to optimise the smoothest glide.

  

  ANGLED DRAINAGE

  The deck is precisely angled to let water flow efficiently out of the tail within just a couple strokes of paddling.

  

  FIN POSITION

  • A Race Ultra fin is positioned far back for straight tracking.
  • The Race Ultra has enough depth to maintain good lateral stability while being maneuverable to turn.

  (Lite Tech uses Dolfin 22″ Fin.)

  

   

  STARTOUCH GRIP

  Is used on the tail of the board for traction when stepping back to turn or when accessing gears.

  

   

  BUNGEE TIE DOWN

  ON THE NOSE AND TAIL OF THE BOARD

  • 4 x bungee inserts help secure gear and supplies on the nose.
  • With 2 extra bungee inserts on the tail, perfect for carrying gear for longer distance paddlers.
