SIC Maui RST Air

The SIC Maui RST Air is a 14ft inflatable race and fast-touring board for paddlers who want proper glide and distance efficiency without the storage, transport and fragility considerations of a hard board. It takes the feel and intent of SIC’s newer RST range and puts it into a packable format, making it a very smart option for paddlers who travel, live short on space, or simply want race-minded performance in a board bag.

If you want an inflatable that feels quicker, cleaner and more purposeful than a typical all-round board, this is exactly where the RST Air makes sense. It is fast enough for training, events and fitness paddling, but still practical enough to live in the boot of the car or in a flat, cupboard or camper.

Where the RST Air Sits in the SIC Range

The RST Air sits in that really useful middle ground between a pure hard-board race shape and a more relaxed inflatable touring board. It is for paddlers who want to go further, track straighter and carry speed more easily, but who still need the convenience of an inflatable package.

If you want the lightest, sharpest composite race-board feel, look at the SIC Maui RST 14 ft SF. If you want a hard board with proven all-water race performance at a more accessible price, the SIC Maui RS 14 ft DF is the obvious next step. If your paddling leans more towards open-water adventure, downwind fun and all-condition versatility, the SIC Bullet DF is still one of the standout shapes in the range.

Choose the RST Air if your priority is packability, easy storage and race-inspired glide in one board.
