Junior Racer

2025 Junior Inflatable Paddle Board – Junior Racer

For the champions of tomorrow

The Junior Racer Inflatable is a range dedicated to young competitors: shape and proportions are climbs for juniors with a narrow outline, so as to keep the paddle closer and straighter to the board, improving tracking , smoothness and ease of control in the race.

Designed for youth competitions and for those who want to grow technically, it is a fast and easy to transport board, perfect for training, regattas and beach starts.

Main technical features

EVA Standing Tray

EVA standing tray that helps maintain a wider and more stable stance, improving balance recovery. The “dug-out” design increases control when riding and in rough conditions, with lightweight, soft and flexible materials.

Twin Carbon Stringers – Deck

Carbon stringers positioned on the deck to increase the stiffness and responsiveness of the board.

Carbon Center Stringer – Fairing

Increases stiffness and a “reflex” feel, creating a cleaner, smoother surface.

Tension Adjuster

Cable tension adjustment point with 4 positions to easily set the tension level and desired spring response.

Nose Cone

Guides the cable to the center of the bow and defines a more precise nose shape. Made from recycled fishing nets .

Race Handles

Additional handles for technical starts and beach races: more speed and control in the first few meters.

Rail Edge Technology

Creates a sharp edge for cleaner water release: more glide and more speed with less drag.

Final Set Up

The fin box (Airline fin box) anchors the cable in the tail for more stable stiffness. The box profile improves hydrodynamic efficiency and reduces drag by up to 50% . The board includes a Race 23” Net Positive fin (variable depending on the model).

FCS Insert + STAR Mount

FCS inserts at bow and center for accessories (GoPro, phone, GPS, compass). STAR Mount included where applicable.

Bungee Tie Down

Bungee in front of the standing area to secure equipment and stay in the water longer: useful for training and long outings.

Welded Rail Technology

Mechanically welded rails (without glue): greater durability and resistance, with a more reliable hold over time.

Leash, pump and bag included

Includes: lightweight leash, Tiki double action pump and wheeled bag. Note: Due to the EVA side walls (standing tray), some versions should be folded and not rolled up : the bag is therefore wider and shorter for quick packing and to preserve the shape of the side walls.

Q&A (Frequently Asked Questions)

Who is the Junior Racer designed for?

For kids and teenagers who want an inflatable race board with sizes and volumes suitable for juniors (rider weight 30–55 kg), with narrow outline to improve tracking and paddling technique.

Is this a race-only board?

It was created for competition (flat water and training races), but it is also perfect for intensive training and quick outings where smoothness is important.

What is the difference between 14'0” and 12'6”?

The 14'0” maximizes glide and speed over longer distances. The 12'6” is more compact and easy to handle, ideal for juniors who prefer an easier to handle board.

Does it have Airline Technology?

No, both of the models listed do not have Airline Technology, but adopt stiffness and control solutions dedicated to junior performance.

Can it be rolled up in the bag?

Due to the EVA side walls of the standing tray, the board should be folded rather than rolled. This is why the bag is wider and shorter, for quick packing without deforming the side walls.

What does the set include?

Depending on the version, it includes Race 23 fin, Tiki pump, leash, bag and repair kit (and additional accessories such as Starmount/Tiki key on the Deluxe).
