Show up, pump up, keep up. Introducing the fastest, lightest and stiffest inflatable raceboard on the market. Crafted from the same pedigree as it’s SCC brother, the all- new Air Glide X-12.6 Pro Lite features water shearing lines, a low profile displacement hull design and race handles for beach starts and finishes. Dyneema Stringer Technol- ogy provides unparalleled rigidity though the bow and center lines of the board. This board will be a frequent face on the podium of the inflatable class in 2016.

INFLATABLES

Standard Characteristics: The best way to get into paddling if you have limited storage space, have a small car, are on the run and never know when you will have time to hit the water or simply like the versatility and convenience. You can keep your board with you at all times and have a board for any condition. Inflatables are most recognizable by the fact that they come in a small backpack style bag, take up very little space and are equipped with a high volume/high pressure pump. Inflatables also offer fun for the whole family. You can take a knock to the head and it hurts just a little bit less. If you or your kids like to play rough or want to keep this board on the dock or deck of your boat, you cannot beat the durability. They come in as many shapes and sizes as you can imagine and cover the full range of disciplines. They are generally 6 inch drop stitch which is thicker than a standard composite board. Inflatables also have higher volume and more stability than composite boards of similar lengths and widths. You can drop it or run it onto the rocks and for the most part not worry about it. In the event of a puncture, all SIC inflatables come equipped with a repair kit that’s as easy as fixing a flat tire on your bike. They lack the full performance of a composite board but advancements in materials and construction have closed the gap considerably. You will not be disappointed.
