GEN R – Cash Price = $895, Any Card Price = $930. add sales tax 5.5% if picked up in Hayward A NEW GENERATION OF RACING The Gen-R is a key model for surf racing and all round paddling. The slightly recessed deck has been optimized to have great stability while easy-to-use when beach starting and getting back on the board. Lower rail height and reduced nose thickness is a much requested feature (especially from our lighter riders) for technical races, buoy turning and easy handling in choppy conditions.The Gen-R is a great fit between the flat water Sprint model and open ocean/all round All Star model. Additionally, youth riders will love this board for its speed and ease of use. FASTER ACCELERATION The low nose rocker and narrow nose outline help increase the acceleration and overall efficiency on flat. This acceleration is essential for tech racing, beach starts and explosive sprints after buoy turns. SOLID TURNING AND STABILITY FROM THE TAIL The wider tail outline combined with the flat deck makes it very comfortable to move and be stable during the turn. NEW SLICING NOSE The narrow outline in the tip of the nose is intended to slice efficiently in flat water as well as on ocean bumps. The lower nose rocker shares genetics with the Sprint, extending the waterline for faster acceleration and prolonged glide. Although the low nose rocker aids in early bump detection, the rider must move back to trim while riding bumps. NEW OPTIMISED NOSE VOLUME The nose volume is designed to take on medium ocean chop and perform in technical racing, surf, and flat water. It is generally thinner than the All Star by approximately 4cm in thickness. NEW SEMI-RECESSED DECK The deck has been designed to have a slightly lowered standing tray for stability. At the same time, the side walls are low, making beach starts and getting back on the board much easier. NEW ROUND RAILS The soft, round rails run the entire length of the board. This allows the board to be balanced in chop and predictable in surf and downwind. The round rails are wide for stability and balance. NEW FLAT BOTTOM The best bottom shape for a range of conditions, the flat bottom is fast in anything from surf to sprints. The flat bottom is very predictable to control in flat and ocean chop. NEW WIDE TAIL Features a wide tail with a sharp release. Turning is super easy on this model, and the wide tail also gives you great control in the surf. NEW SINGLE DRAIN HOLE The single center drain hole allows water from the semi-recessed deck to fully drain. Although hardly any water sits on the deck while paddling, the single center drain hole funnels excess water out of the cockpit. The recessed carbon scupper minimises any drag for a clean release. NEW MULTIPLE HANDLE POSITIONS The Gen-R is the technical/beach race specialist. Handles are modular with our screw in system to fine tune handle positioning. NEW 10” FIN BOX The Gen-R is our first race model to feature the 10” fin box to fine tune rider fin preference. We have fitted the Gen-R with a larger box for adjustability. Short course racing would benefit from a fin further forward for fast turning, while longer races suit a fin further back in the box. Box placement varies for downwinding as some riders may prefer less or more tracking when surfing bumps. NEW THINNER PROFILE, LIGHTWEIGHT BUILD One of the key design criteria for the Gen-R was the light weight, thinner profile technical race board. This much anticipated model is built to be a thinner model for faster acceleration, easy beach starting and great performance in surf and around buoy turns. The thinner profile also helps keep control in side wind and side chop. NEW BUNGEE-TIED OWN Ensures a dry ride for your gear/ equipment/ luggage. Available in 14’0″ x 27″ and 14’0″ x29″ NEW PREPREG CARBON FIN The 3k pre-impregnated carbon biax is an ultra-lightweight weave and creates super stiff performance throughout the fin. The trailing edge features a super sharp 0.4mm for clean hydrodynamics. The new range of fins adds speed and performance like never before. NEW BOARD SOCK Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes. Ensure optimal board maintenance with the iconic blue Board Sock, featuring a secure drawstring closure. LITE TECH LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE • Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail/ nose reinforcements. • Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area. • Comes with shoulder carry strap inserts.

How do you plan on using the SUP? Recreational, Fitness/Distance, Fitness/Yoga, Fishing Who will be using the SUP? Single User, Multiple users, Youth/"leave at the lake" Use? Where will the board be used? Lake, River, "taking it traveling"? Where will the board be stored? Indoor Rack, Outdoor Rack, "I have no room to store a board?" Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) Categories All Around / Recreational / Planing BoardsAll-Around boards offer a traditional planing bow, rounded and are generally 10'-12' in length and 30"-36" in width. These boards are great for beginners, but also great for any paddler who is not looking for paddling long distances or racing environments. Planing boards offer stability for yoga or fishing. Touring / Race / Distance / Displacement BoardsTouring boards have a displacement bow, pointed to displace water as you paddle. Displacement boards are generally 12'-14' in length and generally narrower than a planing board. The displacement bow is more efficient and requires less effort to paddle longer distances. There are also hybrid displacement boards which are wider and thicker that provide more stability in a displacement hull. Hard Boards versus Inflatable Boards Plastic (rotomolded) Boards These boards have a durable exterior, least expensive but very heavy. These boards are great for when multiple users will be using the board and likely to be dragged or dropped. These boards do not have a center core, and over time may bow in the center or become water-logged. Hard Boards - Most common boardsThere are various Hard Board construction so weights may vary also. Construction may include Fiberglass/Epoxy, Graphite and Carbon. These boards are great for individual users who will be able to control the usage of the board. Inflatable BoardsThere are various Inflatable Board constructions, but weights do not vary as much. These are very popular boards. They are quite durable, great for families and guests, traveling and storage is not really a factor. These boards generally come with a storage bag and pump.
