SUP Inflatable I-SUP Race FW 12'6 Second Hand 11291

For whom?

This board’s shape is designed for experienced or athletic paddlers. It’s not too difficult to handle, as the width is manageable and the outline offers enough space in front of the feet to paddle with full power. It’s very easy to handle for a Flat Water board.

However, we wouldn’t recommend it for beginners.

For what?

It’s designed to glide effortlessly, without making balancing a constant struggle. Perfect for calm waters, it’s not a board that keeps you on edge.

Fast paddling, training, sporty cruising, racing... This is what this board excels at.

What size for the I-SUP Race 12’6 Flat Water?

Even though anything is possible, here we outline the main uses:

The 12’6 x 27’’ Race FW:

• Ideal for sessions under an hour and a half on calm waters.

• In Downwind: It’s challenging.

• Rider: Best for those under 85kg, but really, it’s fine as long as your skill level can manage this width.

The 12’6 x 29’’ Race FW: 

• Perfect for sessions under an hour and a half on calm waters.

• In Downwind: It’s manageable.

• Rider: Best for those under 100kg, but really, it’s fine as long as your skill level can handle this technical tail.

Understanding the GONG range?

What is the difference between our First range and I-SUP range?

Best quiver choice?

This board is perfect with a Carbon Pro GONG Paddle cut to the right size or adjustable, and a top of the range fiberglass or carbon fin.

What length of paddle?

The way you paddle, your stance and the frequency at which you paddle will depend on your program. You will need a longer paddle for touring for multiple hours, while you would need a shorter paddle for surfing in order to facilitate quick and strong paddle strokes to catch a wave. Take your time to pick the right length/setting for your paddle, because it will help give you the stability and performance you will need.

Examples:

For a 100% surfing session, set your paddle between your waist and +10cm.

For more relaxed surfing, a +10cm paddle will be perfect.

For a ride, set your paddle between +10 and +20cm.

Which leash?

For the I-SUP Race Flat Water range, a 10’ leash is the perfect choice. Depending on your needs and style, you can opt for a classic ankle or knee leash for a mix of cruising and surfing, or a coiled leash to minimize drag for a fully racing-focused setup.

Check its condition before each session and change it every year. This is your life jacket.

Good to know : 

Never leave your board in the sun, let alone an inflatable board which will heat up very quickly. You risk seeing it peel off because the materials it is made of become flexible in the heat. Never store it under a car window, or in contact with a heat source.

Never let your board get roughed up in the waves, especially when you’re close to the beach. You have to protect it from major strains. A wave that takes your board and rolls it can do damage.

Do not hold it by the leash indefinitely because it can give way under very high tension. Avoid big waves and don’t resist. If it breaks, it’s easy to change but annoying.

Stay away from oysters: this is one of the few seashells that can cut your board and sink it in seconds. Be careful +++

Don’t let your inflatable board rub on something for a long time. It can happen on a boat, for example, that your board moves with each wave and rubs for hours in the same place. The material will disintegrate because it will be as sanded. You will have a hole that will need to be covered with a patch.

Never put the board between the wave and you: risk of a broken nose type injury ;-)

Do not paddle far at sea with an offshore wind, and avoid windy outings as it is rarely fun and always dangerous. SUP is an activity that involves real risks, even in seemingly peaceful conditions. Always anticipate these risks and protect yourself.
