A NEW GENERATION OF RACING

The new Gen R represents the latest evolution in raceboard design. Developed in response to the insights gathered after the 2023 ICF World Championships and input from paddlers at all skill levels, the new Gen R is designed to offer superior performance in various conditions, while being user friendly to all racers.

THIN AND LIGHT DESIGN
The new Gen R is thinner than its predecessor with less volume, making it lighter, faster and more nimble, particularly in side winds or during beach starts.

NEW RAILS
The round rails on toward the nose rails give control and tracking in the side wind, offering the perfect balance of control and balance.

EXTENDED STANDING AREA
The standing area on the new Gen R has been extended further forwards for easy stance trimming in sprints and downwind.

NEW ROCKERLINE
A blend of the previous Gen R toward the nose, combined with the All Star toward the back of the board. Great control in rough conditions while offering amazing acceleration in flatwater.

LOW STANDING AREA
The new Gen-R features a 1.5cm lower standing area than its predecessor. This slight drop results in a lower center of gravity for the rider, improving overall stability and control.

NEW RECESSED EVA HANDLE
1cm EVA Recessed handle gives a soft and forgiving grip during beach starts or when carrying the board. This handle is especially useful during running beach starts.

NOSE VEE
Designed to help shed water off the deck and improve the board’s handling in chop and waves and enhancing the “pop” in choppy conditions.

DOUBLE PROTECTION FOR TRAVEL
Every Gen R board comes with a premium board bag and board sock, giving you double-layer protection and added convenience when traveling, storing, or racing on the go.

Blue Carbon – LIGHTWEIGHT, STRONG AND DURABLE, 4X WOOD OMEGA STRINGERS
› Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire deck, joining with an overlap to create a flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength and stiffness.
› Additional layers of fibre glass combined with 0.6mm Australian Pine wood are positioned in the standing for extra impact resistance.
› Reinforcement strips wrap all sharp edges and key impact areas for additional strength, whilst minimising weight.
› UD Carbon Stringer on the botton further increases stifness and total breakage strength.
