BOARDS
STARBOARD | 9’6”x36” STREAM
Stable and progressive, a board that takes a first timer from navigating basic class 1 and 2 rapids to the ultimate in whitewater and river running performance. • A slightly tucked in outline similar to the Atlas combined with the 9’6” length holds good ground speed, while being small enough to turn quickly.• 36” is the widest in the range for riders up to 105kg with the highest stability to cope with choppy water and big drops. • Available in Deluxe Technology.

SOUL | x
Boarder Cross. River Cross. Cross Training. Crossover = x! Not everyone wants to run class IV on a paddleboard, or be restricted to park and play. The x is for the river paddler looking to do it all. Slalom training, boarder cross racing, river running zipping all over the place, hitting every eddy, pivoting behind every rock, and catching every wave. A day later, a 5-mile downriver cross training run through easy whitewater. This is the magic of x. A clean fluid rocker sweep, combined with a low volume but wide tail means that you can pivot this board with stability through gates, blast onto your favorite wave, and still carry the speed needed to win your river festival.

SOUL | FIRESTORM
There are several key innovations and improvements over the previous designs that make this board really stand out. An almost 20% reduction in weight compared to other plastic boards out there, bottom mounted flip-up skeg, two adjustable stomp hooks for sticking drops, and access to the inside for storage. Plastic not only allows us to design more complex shapes (unlike inflatables which do not) but it also slides over rocks so you can triple your success rate when running drops. The gradual smooth rocker allows the board to surf and spin on waves, while the generous tail volume helps landing even complex drops. Light and performing - this board is a game changer.

AIRBOARD | TWISTER
It’s the SUP made for waves. Short and very twistable. The large area of the deck pad offers enough space to stand securely and therefore this SUP is a lot of fun to surf short river- or artificial waves. There are two additional handles attached to the sides, so the twister can also be used lying down as on a body-board or in kneeling position. The wide kick-pad help to keep balance when doing cool tricks on the wave.
