Highlight

The Hero AIR 12’6” × 27” uses a new bolder and brighter color scheme designed for passionate riders who want to express their personality. The length of 12’6” is more flexible and easier to control than the 14’. The 27” width is more stable and can be used for touring and competitive racing.

The Hero AIR 12’6” × 27” is equipped with STANDING WING at the center of the board which extends the traction pad outwards to improve the rider’s balance and confidence. The additional center stringer helps improve the rigidity of the board and reduce energy loss during strokes. The wide tail design provides better stability and allows the board to adapt to more complex water conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it suitable for beginners?
A: Thanks to its generous width of 27″ plus the unique STANDING WING feature which extends the traction pads outwards, the Hero Air is very stable even for beginners. The board is also very easy to control due to its 12’6″ length.

Q: What kind of water conditions can I use this board in?
A: This board is suitable for almost every water condition including open water and flat water.

Q: What is the ideal paddler weight?
A: To achieve the best waterline, the rider should weigh 40 – 80 kg (Recommended Limit: 40 – 90 Kg).

Q: How much air pressure can this board take?
A: The maximum air pressure of the Reinforced Drop Stitch (RDS) material used in this board is 18 PSI or more.

How to use

Recommendations

  1. Always wash with fresh water and let the SUP board dry before storage for longevity
  2. Do not leave the SUP board inflated on land for long period of time to avoid over expansion of the air inside
  3. Pump your board to the appropriate pressure (PSI) when use: 12- 15 PSI for recreational use in flat water, 15 – 18 PSI for long distance touring in open water, or 18 PSI for racing
  4. Always wear your leash when paddling to stay attached to the board if you fall.
