The Expedition Model (EX) is a recent addition to the King’s line up. The EX is designed with excitement, speed, glide, long-distance paddling, comfort and stability in mind. The EX combines the ultra-light weight and speed of a racing board with the stability of a recreational board. When you paddle this board you’ll feel as though you’re coasting across ice on ice skates! The EX is constructed very much like a high-performance aircraft or race car. The Hull design:

•The deck has a flat stepped-down paddling platform. This allows for a wide comfortable stance while paddling.
•The bottom has a piercing bow with a vee bottom that is deepest in the nose and tail with a soft roll towards the end of the tail. This gives you great glide, stability and high speeds. The bottom is nearly identical to our racing boards making the EX models great race training boards. Although not specifically classified as a race board, the EX models are more than competitive when used for racing.

The following are the specifications for the EX models:

•Expedition 10' 6" long, 30" wide, 6.5" thick, 240 liters of volume, 25 lbs. approximate board weight, 215 lbs. maximum paddler body weight.
•Expedition 11' 6" long, 30" wide, 6.5" thick, 265 liters of volume, 27 lbs. approximate board weight, 225 lbs. maximum paddler body weight.
•Expedition 12' 6" long, 30" wide, 6.5" thick, 285 liters of volume, 30 lbs. approximate board weight, 250 lbs. maximum paddler body weight.

To maximize value, all of the EX models are constructed using conventional fiberglass fabric and epoxy resins. However, the EX models are available with vacuum bagged carbon fiber construction and in custom colors; giving you the ultimate in a light-weight / high strength touring board.

The EX model is the “brain-child” of master shaper designer and engineer, Dave Daum. Dave has been designing and building the finest performing and highest quality water craft for more than 40 years. The EX is a 100% Handcrafted American Made product. Producing your board in our own factory allows us to stand behind every board we make. Try one today and experience your own “expedition.”
