What is a Stand Up Paddle Race Board?

A stand up paddle race board (SUP) is designed specifically for speed and performance on the water. Unlike recreational paddleboards, racing paddle boards feature narrow widths and extended lengths, giving paddlers a faster, more streamlined experience. There are three main types of racing sup boards:

  • All-Water Race Boards: Ideal for a range of conditions, from open water to choppy seas.
  • Flatwater Race Boards: Perfect for calm lakes or bays where a smooth glide is essential.
  • Downwind Race Boards: Engineered for surfing downwind swells and maximizing speed with the wind.

The Elysium Air excels as an all-water SUP, crafted for versatile conditions and a competitive edge. For more on the types of paddle boards available, check out this guide on paddleboard types.
