Nothing even comes close to the Lightning for all out speed. But there is so much more to a fun-to-paddle “race” board than pure speed.The new lightning is now being made as a 14 footer (with the diminishing of the 12’6″ race class worldwide) as it was originally designed.

Rough water handling for exposed lakes and open ocean paddling is key, and the Lightning brings all this to the table. Taking the wave piercing technology pioneered by Americas Cup yacht racing as the boards first entry into the water, the hull then sweeps back displacing water efficiently and quietly through the stable and predictable center. High sidewalls offer significant increase in secondary stability, while also keeping wash and slop off your feet – a convenient bonus in colder water areas.

Whether you’re interested in fitness training, open ocean downwind excursions, or all out racing, this board will keep you motivated and excited. The lightning is built using our Carbon-Lite technology, and comes with both a standard fin box and our tail mounted patent pending skeg for better tracking.
