Race Stand Up Paddleboards are as you would expect, the fastest of all SUP's. A Race SUP's speed comes primarily from their overall length and narrow width, meaning maximum glide from each paddle stroke with minimal resistance. Tracking is also arrow like, as the reduced width also means the paddling effort is nearer the centre line of the board; pulling it forwards rather than inducing any turning moment. Race Stand Up Paddleboards are available in 12'6 and 14' lengths due to class rules, with 'Unlimited' paddleboards reaching around 17' in length.
