Q&A – Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the RRD Air Race recommended for?
It is designed for intermediate and advanced paddlers who want an inflatable racing board or for fast training in flat water, without sacrificing ease of transport and storage.
How stiff is it compared to a regular inflatable SUP?
The combination of TPB Belt, TPB plates and Antitorx System makes the Air Race significantly more rigid than a traditional inflatable, bringing the paddling sensation to that of a rigid race.
Which size should I choose based on my level?
For a first approach to inflatable racing, the 14' x 28'' is the most versatile and stable; those who already have experience can choose the 10'6'' for technical races or on the 14' x 24'' for maximum speed in long distance and sprints.
