From the shape, dimensions and fittings shown here, this 11'6 x 30\" board is aimed squarely at paddlers who want easy flatwater glide, dependable stability and enough carrying capacity for longer day paddles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 30 inches wide with 185 litres of volume, the Saber 11'6 sits in a very useful part of the range. It is long enough to track cleanly and cover distance with less effort, but still wide enough to feel reassuring for recreational paddlers, improvers and those wanting one hard board for general cruising, fitness paddling and light touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Board Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have outgrown a short all-round SUP and want something that moves more efficiently through the water, the SIC Saber 11'6 is a very sensible step forward. It suits paddlers who want better glide for lakes, estuaries, harbours, sheltered coastlines and longer flatwater sessions, while still keeping the forgiving feel that makes day-to-day paddling enjoyable rather than technical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with a wider beginner board, the Saber will feel cleaner and more purposeful over distance. Compared with a narrower touring or race shape, it remains much easier to live with in mixed real-world conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose the SIC Saber 11'6\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEfficient 11'6 touring-style shape that gives noticeably better glide than a short all-round board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-inch width keeps the board confidence-inspiring for a broad range of paddlers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposite construction gives a crisp, direct feel on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront cargo bungee makes it practical for longer paddles and carrying essentials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable full deck pad offers grip and comfort underfoot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2+1 fin set-up balances straight-line tracking with easy, predictable handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecessed carry handle makes launching and carrying far easier than many older hard boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSIC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaber 11'6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11'6\" \/ 350.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30.0\" \/ 76.2 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e185 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGC+ Glass Composite Plus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInnegra high performance fibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin Set-Up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2+1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentre Fin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSIC Mahi 9.0\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Fins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSIC ThreeFour XL side fins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull traction pad, recessed carry handle, front cargo bungee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIC Saber 11'6 paddleboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIC Mahi 9.0\" centre fin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x SIC ThreeFour XL side fins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: paddle, leash and any additional accessories are not included unless otherwise stated.

A wider all-round board may feel slightly more beginner-friendly at first, but this style of board rewards better technique and makes longer paddles more enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 2+1 fin set-up make a difference?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The larger centre fin helps with tracking, while the side fins add a bit of extra grip and control. For many paddlers, it is a very user-friendly set-up because it keeps the board feeling settled and predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a composite board like this better than an inflatable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf storage and transport are not the deciding factors, many paddlers prefer a composite board because it feels more direct, glides more cleanly and gives better feedback on the water. An inflatable is more convenient to pack away, but a hard board like the Saber is often the more rewarding choice for regular paddling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"SIC Maui","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53739468128589,"sku":null,"price":799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/8381\/8829\/files\/6638F076-A9ED-4502-AAFC-7CD72F0BCBEC.jpg?v=1776435698","url":"https:\/\/www.thesupco.com\/products\/sic-saber-11-6-gc","provider":"The SUP Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
