GEN R 

FLAT DECK RACING BOARD

The new Gen R represents the latest evolution in raceboard design. Developed in response to the insights gathered after the last ICF World Championships and input from paddlers at all skill levels, the new Gen R is designed to offer superior performance in various conditions, while being user friendly to all racers.

KEY FEATURES - What's different about it?

> FAST AND RESPONSIVE - The All Star-inspired round tail gives the Gen R better glide, faster speeds, and a more forgiving feel when paddling in the ocean. The tail has been designed to be responsive in turns and offers excellent water release.

> VERSATILE DESIGN - Flat water, technical racing, beach starts, and light-medium open ocean paddling are ideal for the new Gen R. The lighter, thinner design gives you more control and the ability to paddle in a wide range of race scenarios, from flat-water sprints to choppy downwind runs.

> THIN AND LIGHT DESIGN - The new Gen R is thinner than its predecessor with less volume, making it lighter, faster and more nimble, particularly in side winds or during beach starts.

> NEW RAILS - The round rails on toward the nose rails give control and tracking in the side wind, offering the perfect balance of control and balance.

> EXTENDED STANDING AREA - The standing area on the new Gen R has been extended further forwards for easy stance trimming in sprints and downwind.

> NEW ROCKERLINE - A blend of the previous Gen R toward the nose, combined with the All Star toward the back of the board. Great control in rough conditions while offering amazing acceleration in flatwater.

> LOW STANDING AREA - The new Gen-R features a 1.5cm lower standing area than its predecessor. This slight drop results in a lower center of gravity for the rider, improving overall stability and control.

> NEW RECESSED EVA HANDLE - 1cm EVA Recessed handle gives a soft and forgiving grip during beach starts or when carrying the board. This handle is especially useful during running beach starts.

> NOSE VEE - Designed to help shed water off the deck and improve the board’s handling in chop and waves and enhancing the “pop” in choppy conditions.

> DOUBLE PROTECTION FOR TRAVEL

What construction to go for?

BLUE CARBON SANDWICH
LIGHTEST WEIGHT, DURABILITY, FLEX CONTROL

• Super light-weight biaxial carbon is laminated over the standing area and full bottom.

• While the stronger 150g Biaxial carbon wraps the nose and rail and the best strength ratio and efficient flex.

• High-density PVC is used in the standing area and full bottom maximizing strength and long-term durability.

 

BLUE CARBON
FULL CARBON WRAP, WOOD REINFORCED STANDING, VALUE OFFERING

• Offers a full carbon construction that combines strength and weight at a truly competitive value.

• Biaxial Carbon wraps the full deck and rail giving you excellent competitive weight and strength properties.

• Carbon stringer on the deck provides additional impact and stiffness.

• Extra glass reinforcements wrap the sharp edges and inside rails of the cockpit for extra rigidity and strength.

 

Lite Tech
LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE

› Extra rigidity with introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail / nose reinforcements.
