Designed for inland racers who compete on glassy surfaces or with wind chop, this board will take competitors to the next level. The board has a low entry rocker that flows into a displacement hull and exits with a rounded pin-tail. These engineering breakthroughs make this board extremely fast in getting to top speed and gliding effortlessly. The board’s width makes it very stable so that there is no loss in efficiency from rocking side to side which will turn the full power of the stroke into forward energy.

Glide race boards are born out of a background that no other SUP manufacturers’ can lay claim to: our designers’ international race kayak experience. The boards have most of the features that have been proven out over the years in high Olympic flat water racing kayaks. We took this singular knowledge and blended it with input from our team of world-class athletes to create the fastest, most unique race boards on the market. Our race boards are hand crafted using a proprietary laminating process that gives the boards incredible stiffness while keeping their weight an extremely light 26 lbs. The boards are then refined with a race sanded matte finish. The race finish helps to break surface tension and provides a much faster plane than a painted board.

Features

• Matte race finish helps break surface tension for a faster glide
• Black Diamond vector net on the bottom for added stability
• Pin tail for quick and clean releases
• Low rocker displacement hull
• Included with the Speedster is a FCS 9" dolphin fin
• Self regulating vent plug for maintenance free thermal venting
• FCS 'easy carry' handle balanced for a more gentle easier portage
• Unique design and rail system that limits rocking and increases efficiency
• Stringer less construction for lighter weight
• USDA biomass certified Entropy resin helps limit our impact on waterways and the environment
