Speed for flat water, technical racing, beach starts and downwind
Flat water, technical racing, beach starts and light-to-medium ocean downwind: this is the ideal habitat for the new Gen R. The lighter and thinner design offers greater control and the ability to paddle in a wide range of scenarios, from flat water sprints to choppier ocean conditions. The All Star-inspired rounded tail ensures better planing, more speed and a more forgiving feel in the ocean.
Key features
- Thin and light design - Less volume than its predecessor: lighter, faster and more agile, especially in crosswinds or when launching from the beach.
- Rails - Rounded rails towards the bow for control and tracking in crosswinds.
- Extended paddle area - Moved further forward for easy trim adjustment during sprints and downwind runs.
- Rocker line - A hybrid between the old Gen R with a nose rocker and the All Star with a tail rocker: control in difficult conditions, excellent acceleration in flat water.
- Lowered paddle area - 1.5 cm lower than its predecessor, for a lower center of gravity and greater stability.
- Recessed EVA handle - 1 cm of EVA for a soft grip when launching from the beach or carrying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need racing experience to use this board?
It is a race board designed for high performance: the wider boards in the range are still accessible to those new to SUP racing, while the narrower sizes are designed for experienced riders.
Is the indicated volume (L) enough to understand which size to choose?
Volume in liters is the main reference, but the right size also depends on your weight, level and the conditions you usually paddle in: if in doubt, write to us with your weight and level, and we will help you choose.
Does the board include a paddle, fin and leash?
No, the board is sold separately. The paddle, fin(s) and leash are available separately in our catalog.
What is the difference between the available constructions?
In general, the lightest construction (e.g. Carbon Reflex) prioritizes responsiveness and reduced weight at a higher price; the core-performance construction (e.g. Xtec Carbon) offers an excellent balance between weight and robustness at a more affordable price. You can find the details of each construction in the "Available constructions" section above.
