NEWS: NEW INFLATABLE SUP FOR EXTREME ADVENTURES!

Go on an adventure with our new Couine Marie Explorer Arctic inflatable Stand-Up Paddle board!

 

Developed especially for autonomous expeditions at the request of Ingrid Ulrich, a longtime adventurer and GONG ambassador, the Couine Marie Explorer Arctic opens the way to adventure for all watersports enthusiasts.

The Couine Marie Explorer Arctic is a double-chamber board, very stable, reinforced and with a large carrying capacity.

Stability and loading capacity

For long excursions you need comfort, a good glide to go the distance and loading capacity to guarantee your autonomy and safety.

Its dimensions have therefore been designed to offer a very generous format. With its 14’ long by 34” wide and its 570L, it can carry equipment at the front and at the back. It remains super stable and maintains easy paddling and a good glide thanks to its profiled nose.

Its 8” thickness offers volume and height to keep your feet dry: a significant plus when rowing in icy waters among icebergs.

 

Safety in extreme conditions

Rigorous preparation and reliable equipment are essential before you set off for a long expedition. Venturing into extreme environments, far from any help and in cold temperatures cannot be improvised. An insignificant equipment failure on a cool stroll at home can have serious consequences during a long excursion. So be prepared.

The equipment we offer was developed with an experienced adventurer who tested it in real conditions.

• A double chamber

Just like the classic Explorer models in the Couine Marie range, the Arctic is equipped with a double chamber. A real asset for long expeditions, it provides rigidity and safety. The double chamber allows you to have a floating reserve in the event of damage to the main chamber. If you are equipped with the mandatory safety equipment, you will be allowed to paddle outside the 300m zone.

• Renforcement of the hull

A third layer of PVC has been added to the hull to add even more resistance in ice environments or in rivers. A strategic point for traveling with confidence over long distances in remote places.

• Equipment

The straps and tightening rings allow you to carry a lot of equipment and food without fear of losing any of it. You can load a large bag behind and a smaller one in front without being hampered when paddling. Your paddle will pass easily between your feet and the front bag. We know that paddling comfort is essential when you set off for a very long distance.

• Visibility

The colors are not chosen at random either. In addition to blue, which recalls the color of glaciers, flashy orange was chosen for its high visibility. It is a real additional safety element present on the most visible parts of the board.
