What is a race paddle board?
Race paddle boards are designed to be as fast and efficient as possible through the water, this means that by design, they are typically longer and narrower than common all-round cruisers that you would usually see on the water. Racing paddle boards can be broken into 3 classes; 12’6, 14′ and unlimited. The 14′ race paddle board class is the most popular race class and is mostly likely the board size you should consider buying. 12’6 class is typically used as youth or junior racing class and unlimited is used for elite downwind racers.
What type of race paddle board is best?
Race paddle boards can be broken down into 3 categories depending on their use; all-water, flat-water and downwind. Let’s have a look at each of these in a little more detail:
- All-water race paddle board: The most popular design is the wave and all-water race board, thanks to its versatility, a rider only needs one board that they can use in any condition – if this sounds like what you need, then Starboard’s All Star is a great all-round race board. All-water race paddle boards also feature multiple carry handle positions for beach starts/ portages as well as drainage holes for flushing water on the deck after punching through a wave.
- Flatwater race boards: are high-performance specialists that are used more in dams, lakes and rivers where rough ocean conditions are not a factor. They are designed for straight-line speed and maximum efficiency with features like an inverted bow nose to increase waterline and therefore speed. They also commonly feature sharp rails for improved tracking and rail-steer ability. If you’re looking for a flat water speedster, then the Starboard Sprint is the board for you.
- Downwind race paddle board: These boards are designed to handle bumpy ocean conditions and to glide onto swells with ease. They typically have a rounded belly hull, a thin pintail that picks up easily onto swells and ocean waves, and also a dugout deck so that riders have a lower centre of gravity. The worlds most popular downwind paddle board is the Starboard Ace downwinder paddle board.
