Description

The 26” wide Vortex Air 14’ inflatable SUP race board delivers top performance and speed for the medium to heavy paddler, the 26” width providing added stability in choppy waters when encountered. With high top-end speeds and long glides between strokes, riders up to 90kg can expect to get the best from this board. With 305 litres of volume, it rides high over most water conditions you might expect when racing or during your regular paddling sessions.

The widest apex of the board is located just forward of the paddler, emphasising maximising stability in the forward section of the board. A long taper narrowing towards the tail ensures fast water run off, low drag and easy turns. For sprint racing or grinding over long distances, the Vortex Air SUP inflatable race board excels in a class of its own. Use the Vortex for racing at home or away, or travel with it for training for your hardboard racing when travelling with your hardboard isn’t convenient. 

Underfoot, the soft EVA  non-slip decking provides positive traction and comfort even when paddling at maximum speed, providing support and comfort during longer paddling sessions. For beach starts, we’ve added a Le Mans-style angulated handle mounted on the left forward side for grab-and-run starts and fast recovery when leaving the water. To promote fast water run-off and reduced back eddies at the tail, we’ve included a fast-flow hard-edged rail at the tail of the board. This gives the board an edge over conventional inflatable SUP race boards. Add to this our all-carbon super light (121g) 8” weed-free race fin, and you have the ultimate inflatable race board that stands out above the ordinary. For added performance, there’s a robust step-back pad to execute radical buoy turns confidently. Regarding fabrication, we’ve applied our Twine-X® dual layer PVC, fused into a thin single layer, drop stitched with 15,000 woven polyester threads/m2, ensuring the Vortex Air is a lightweight SUP race board of exceptional quality. It includes a bag, repair kit, carbon race fin and leg leash.

The Vortex Air 14’ x 26” is a unique performer, narrow enough to be super fast while instilling confidence in the rider over a variety of water conditions and is ideal for the medium-weight rider of 80kg concerned about balance, while for the heavier 90kg rider, the 305-litre volume will easily accommodate you.
