RACE NINJA Ninjas are the fastest pure flat water racing boards on the market featuring new shapes and graphics for 18: - All Ninja models feature the dugout deck concept that lowers the riders center of gravity and allows us to reduce the width without compromising stability. - All Ninja s have enough nose volume to be able to paddle in a pack and wash ride comfortably and keep tracking straight. - The Accelerator Vacuum System (AVS) quickly removes any wash that enters the deck. - Ninja s are all about low drag efficiency so that you can race fast and save as much energy as possible for a kick to pull away from the pack or for longer runs. - Features a stable tail design for easy kick turns when rounding the buoy. - The 14 / and 12 6/23.5 are for elite paddlers to win races and fight in packs, but can be enjoyed by experts if they paddle them on pure flat water. - The 14/25 is a super stable version and fast enough to allow advanced paddlers to fight for their position in a race group and for long distance flat water training sessions. - Compared to the Sonic and the Puma, the Ninja is the specific flatwater race machine for lakes, canals, rivers and flat ocean conditions.

RACE SONIC Sonics are proven race winning boards. No performance compromises are made with these dedicated downwind and course racing designs: - New shapes and graphics for 18, all Sonics are now pintails to release water from the tail reducing wake. - Dugout deck designs lower the riders center of gravity, allowing us to reduce width and drag without compromising stability. - The Accelerator Vacuum System (AVS) quickly removes any wash that enters the dugout. - They are very strong performers in upwind and downwind conditions as the bulbous nose pops over chop to carry speed upwind and catch bumps downwind. - The 14/23 is extremely competitive and designed for elite racers or lighter experts to win races in smoother open water conditions and flat water. - The 14/24 can handle choppier conditions, having a different rocker line than the 14/23, it is extremely competitive for elite and experts as soon as there is water texture to pull away from the pack. - The 14/25.5 is the same concept as the 14/24 but more stable and comfortable for advanced and expert racers in open ocean conditions, harbor chop and for downwinders. If you are not in front of the pack in an elite field and you are battling in crowded racing conditions, you will be faster on the 14/25.5 than the 14/24. - The 12 6/24.5 covers all the demands of the 12 6 race class in open ocean, harbors, flat water and downwinders. Ideal for intermediate to expert paddlers in most conditions and for experts only in bigger ocean swells. - Compared to the Ninja and Puma, the Sonic is the dedicated raceboard for choppier water, harbors, open ocean conditions and downwinders NSP race fin included Bullbous nose EVA trim guide Famous for our rolled hulls, NSP has evolved our signature design to include a stabilizer surface to deliver greater speed and control Insert for GPS/GoPro Accelerator Vacuum System (AVS) Update: For the 2nd year in a row Titouan Puyo (1st) and Travis Grant (2nd) won the elite Carolina Cup on their NSP Sonic production boards that are available for anyone to buy while many others paddled one-off prototypes.

RACE PUMA Pumas are the most versatile race board for everyone in all conditions: - For 18 the design brief of the Puma range was totally changed from a focus on beach racing to a design that is as equally at home in the surf, flatwater and with excellent downwind performance covering all water states and race formats. - If you are not comfortable with the feel of a recessed deck, if you want to kick turn, if you want to surf race, downwind, race on the flat or just enjoy paddling faster and further, the Puma can do it all. - If you want to own only one race board with no significant disadvantage compared to a specialized board but want to enjoy diverse conditions the Puma is the go to board. - The Puma offers the largest race board range with a model to suit all abilities and conditions. This board will never let you down whatever the conditions throw at you. - The 14/28 and 14/26 models are ideal for all intermediate to advanced paddlers. - The 14/23.5 is ideal for lighter intermediate to expert paddlers. - The 12 6/24 is ideal for lighter or expert paddlers wanting an allround race board. - The 12 6/28 and 12 6/26 models are ideal for racing in the 12 6 class for intermediate to advanced paddlers. - Compared to the Ninja and Sonic, the Puma is the versatile all round flat deck raceboard for all water states, different race formats and great downwinding.
