The Brief

To create a line of super light compact shapes that would provide options for beginners, recreational paddlers, more experienced paddle surfers looking for performance and options for cross over watermen looking for plug and play instant success.

Our boards work in different ways depending on riders’ bodyweights, offering ultimate flexibility, unrivalled strength and minimal weights. Whether you’re new to the sport looking for easy progression, paddle for recreation or fitness or simply want to shred in extreme conditions our boards guarantee exhilaration.

Ok so you like the look of our boards, have heard about their riding ability and you now want to demo a board. We're running with Loco SUP for our school fleet this season so there will be ample opportunity to test drive the complete range on flat water in the Lake District or in some waves at Tynemouth or Northumberland. You can't miss our test centre trailer...

Boards

9’11’’

Having taught hundreds of people to paddleboard Joe knew exactly what he wanted from this entry level shape. It needed to be wide, have full rails, a decent amount of nose kick for effortless paddling and a suitably wide tail to promote directional stability. Alongside offering instant success to the beginner this board also works remarkably well in the surf for the 110kg+ rider. Killer paintjob in 3 attractive colours, 3/4 length deck pad, FCS GoPro nose mount, double leash plugs and a full set of fibreglass future fins separate this board from the crowd.

Specs 9’11’ x 33 3/8’’ x 4 5/8 ’’  178L

Available in our CoreFlex technology.

Price £799 including FREE board/paddle bag

9’5’’

Based on a custom wave SUP designed for an experienced heavier rider this board is the go to weapon for the 90-110kg paddle surfer. The 9’5’’ has sufficient width for those days when the wind suddenly gets up and is perfect for punching out through the heaviest of white water. Despite its broad shoulders the advanced rocker line, thin rails and narrow squash tail makes for a lively sensation underfoot. Get your back foot over the kick tail, drive hard and hit the lip roundhouse style!

With 157L of volume this board also works as a fantastic entry level board for 85kg watermen crossing over from windsurfing, surfing and kiting alongside offering first time ladies a compact, super light board that is easy to carry.

Specs 9’5’’ x 30 7/8 x 4 ½  157L
