The Whiplash 14 is Slater Trout's signature 14' board and the latest evolution in Steve Boehne's race designs. Slater Trout took 2nd Place 2011 WPA World Championship on this design. Noun-1, Whiplash - an injury to the neck (the cervical vertebrae) resulting from rapid acceleration on an Infinity SUP. The much is anticipated signature racer by elite racer Slater Trout - I wanted a board that is fast, stable, and very versatile. If the board is easy to paddle, i am able to put 100% energy into every stroke. I worked closely with Steve and i feel we nailed an incredible design. I can't wait for people to give it a go! Slater's number one request in a Raceboard is make it easy to paddle. Rather than focusing on a single design goal, Slater wanted a board that is versatile and does everything well - flat water, Open Ocean, downwind, up wind, chop, riding bumps etc. No matter the venue or conditions he could whip this board out of the bag and be ready on race day.

The bottom rocker is a blended curve with the biggest "bend" under the riders stance. Flat bottom with a 3/8" of roll out to the rails. The flat bottom rolls softly into a vee exit providing excellent release off the tail block in the flats and aides in riding swell while riding back off the tail. The rails are upright with soft edges providing a "slippery" release. They blend to a harder edge in the rear of the hull.

Available in 14' x 27.5" in production from Boardworks. Please contact your local Boardworks dealer for pricing and/or demo.

Key Design Features:

• Needle style nose outline which forces the wide point in the outline just behind the riders stance. This enables a closer to the body stroke for max power output. The narrower nose also gives the board a very responsive "out of the gate" sprint.
• Straight outline with 11" tail block. The straighter outline allows the water to race down the board fast without curving around it. The wider tail block provides stability in chop, surfs easier of the tail and turning around buoys, catches bump and swell with ease.
• Shallow recessed cockpit for stability
• Turned down dart style nose. This nose cuts through flat water very quiet, while maintaining a lower profile above the water. Reducing drag in the wind and piercing characteristics while punching through waves and chop.
