HIGH-ASPECT PARALLEL OUTLINE

Based on a teardrop outline, the Lightning range has a straighter parallel outline to maximise the stability and efficiency.

PIN TAIL

Tracking and efficiency are two key aspects of the pintail design. The pin tail offers great tracking for catching bumps and fast and smooth takeoff and minimal catch when touching the water.

ROUND BOXY RAILS

Designed for ease of use in choppy conditions, these round yet boxy rails deliver superior stability and handling, ensuring a responsive spring for takeoff.

ROCKER

The rocker is fine-tuned for speed, spring, and larger bumps. The rockerline has been tested in a range of conditions, from flatwater to large ocean swell and is both lightning fast in take offs and forgiving in touch downs.

CORDUROY DECK PAD

Featuring a dual corduroy texture, the pad enhances board feel while delivering exceptional grip and comfort for every ride. The different orientation of the corduroy in the center of the board allows you to feel where you stand.

FLAT DECK

The deck is kept flat to utilize the full width, offering more space and comfort from these narrow outlines.

BOARD SOCK INCLUDED

Reduces paper waste and protects your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made of stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes and has a secure drawstring closure.

SIZE DESCRIPTIONS

8’10″ x 19″ / 140 L

Rider weight - Downwind SUP: up to 125 kg

For larger riders, the 8’10” x 19″ has a generous 140L of volume while still designed as a high-aspect ratio model, offering striking downwind acceleration and rapid foil takeoff.

8’4” x 19” / 122 L

Rider weight - Downwind SUP: up to 110 kg

Featuring a high aspect ratio for speed while offering enough volume for most riders; the 8’4” blends generous volume in a fast design.

8’2” x 18” / 101 L

Rider weight - Downwind SUP: up to 90 kg

A great option for longer downwinders. The narrow and longer shape is made for distance foiling, giving you fantastic speed in the air and acceleration onto foil.

7’6” x 17” / 87 L

Rider weight - Downwind SUP: up to 80 kg

The 7’6” was our R&D testers favorite model for downwinding and flatwater pumping on smaller foils.

7’5″ x 15″ / 83 L

Rider weight - Downwind SUP: up to 75 kg

Our narrowest, highest-spec board at 83L, designed for ultra-fast acceleration with smaller, faster foils.

CONSTRUCTIONS

ZERO

ULTRA-LIGHT HOLLOW PERFORMANCE

ZERO is our lightest full Carbon hollow construction. Its standout advantage is reduced swing weight: with less weight to control out front, the board feels a foot shorter through turns and when flying.

The low weight also helps riders accelerate, lift onto foil earlier and stay flying with less effort. Refined through years of development, the latest ZERO construction improves stiffness and reliability while remaining exceptionally light.

› Ultra-light full Carbon hollow construction
› Reduced swing weight for easier turns and control in flight
› Faster acceleration and earlier lift onto foil
› Greater efficiency once flying
› Multiple PVC stringers connect deck and bottom for a strong, lightweight frame
› Carbon and PVC hollow sandwich structure for strength-to-weight performance

Available size: 101 L

CARBON D2 NEW

ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE

Carbon D2 is the lightest performance construction in the range, designed to maximize responsiveness while minimizing weight. The reduced weight helps riders accelerate quickly, lift onto foil earlier and maintain efficient flight.

A custom process using traditional epoxy lamination instead of expanding epoxy resin, reducing weight while maintaining structural strength. Additional Carbon reinforcements increase stiffness in key load areas while keeping the board light and responsive.

› Custom epoxy lamination process reduces weight while maintaining strength
› Additional Carbon standing reinforcements increase stiffness and responsiveness
› Carbon Load Frame rail band improves stiffness and breaking strength
› Foil box Carbon reinforcement strengthens the highest load area
› PVC Omega stringer prevents buckling in front of the foil box

Available sizes: 83 / 87 / 101 / 122 / 140 L
