With their rounded outline and proven rocker line, they glide easily through the water and are able to surf smaller waves. The whole range come with the reliable and great looking bamboo deck construction while the 10’6’’ also benefits from the AIR SHIELD COMPOSITE technology which makes it light and responsive, yet extremely durable thanks to the outside protective shield skin.

BAMBOO Sandwich technology
Our SUP boards benefit from the BAMBOO SANDWICH TECHNOLOGY construction. Every layer of bamboo is sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass or between a layer of carbon. This allows the sandwich technology to emphasize the characteristics of the bamboo. The final result is a light structure that is super strong and extremely reliable.
BAMBOO DECK
The top deck of the board is lined with a layer of bamboo.
BEVELED RAILS
For all surfers one of the inconveniences of a SUP is the large size of the rails, too big to dig into a turn. So, how do we make a sup with a thin rail without losing the volume of the board? The answer is the Beveled rail.
They are small flat lateral sections in V shapes, which allows us to reduce the thickness of the rail in certain sections (1). The other advantage is that they reduce the planing surface of the board (2) which therefore reduces drag. The combination of a thinner rail and slightly narrower width allows the board to get a better edge into the turns and a tighter arc.
