SUP fans look for in a paddle expedition, and that’s okay.
But wouldn’t you rather have a board that gives you the freedom to try your
hand at all different SUP adventures, including the rough ones?
All the rigid features that were added to the new BLACKFIN model give SUP-
ers the ability to test their potential out on rough waters. Some of these
features include the carbon rail, quad-layer PVC construction and even more
military grade materials.
The new materials on the BLACKFIN Model X increased the maximum weight
capacity to 450 pounds, while the BLACKFIN Model XL holds up to 485
pounds.
One of the most impressive features of the BLACKFIN iSUP model is the
carbon rail. Some beginner SUP-ers might not know why this feature was
added, and they might never need to use it to its full potential. This doesn’t
mean it won’t benefit them, though.
The main purpose of the carbon rail and the quad-layer PVC construction in
the board is to keep it rigid and stable. The carbon rail makes the board
durable and stiff, which is an ideal build for extreme SUP-ers who plan to take
their iSUPs out on rough waters.
There are SUP-ers of all different skill levels who use their boards in different
ways. Some people simply like to coast on calm waters and take in the nature
and scenery surrounding them.
Some people use their boards to practice yoga poses and perform fitness
workouts. Then there are people who use their boards in more intense ways.
We’re talking about whitewater SUP-ers.
Whitewater SUP-ers often take on more than just rough waters. They face
obstacles such as rocks, waterfalls, whirlpools and rapid flows. They have to
have total confidence in their board and they have to be able to control their
board from all sides.
The carbon rail adds that extra level of stability and that extra level of
confidence an extreme SUP-er needs when they’re facing a rough ride.
