Race & Downwind Stand Up Paddleboards

Racing paddleboards are designed for speed, efficiency, and performance, making them the go-to choice for competitive paddlers. Typically, longer and narrower than other types of paddleboards—often ranging from 12'6" to 14'—these boards feature a displacement hull that slices through the water for maximum glide with each stroke. Lightweight materials like carbon fiber or fiberglass are commonly used to reduce drag and enhance responsiveness. Stability is often sacrificed for speed, so racing SUPs demand good balance and technique.
