Like the X-12 Pro, the X-14 is built for speed over stability. Whether racing in the Elite 14-foot or unlimited class, course or distance racing, the X-14 is best in class. The X-14 PRO’s progressive waterline provides a lively feel, which leads to quicker acceleration getting on glide faster and staying on glide longer. The narrower shape makes for a faster, more agile, pure race board for the Elite racer.

SCC SINGLE CARBON COMPOSITE

Our SCC +Innegra™ construction is a light weight cnc/eps core with a full wrap biaxial carbon fiber glass internal layer. The SCC also features an Innegra™ tip, rail and tail reinforcement area and 2-Layers of biaxial glass rail reinforcement for extra durability. The 3mm high-density pvc deck reinforcement with a crocodile textured eva deck pad is grippy and comfortable for long paddles. This construction also features our ez-grab carry handle and gore-tex breather vent.

DISPLACEMENT HULL

This board is a displacement hull board.

Standard Characteristics: Considered the road bike of the water due to its quick acceleration, efficient glide and top end speed in smooth conditions. Displacement hull boards are easily identifiable by their rounded bottom shape and piercing nose style in the bow. The nose of the board generally is designed to pierce the water, aid in board tracking and cut through chop to reduce drag and promote glide, as well as top end speed. The rocker line is generally flat and the volumes are greater than surf style boards. The added volume allows the board to float higher in the water which reduces drag thereby promoting better glide ratios and unlocks top end speed. Increased volume and width typically provides more stability, especially for heavier paddlers. Conversely, narrower boards are faster but less stable, depending on the paddler’s weight and skill level.
