Directly addressing performance, especially while racing or touring, the Fishbone was designed to compete with hardboard racing SUPs.
Most hardboards in this category have a displacement hull shape which helps to displace the water, enhancing tracking (the ability to hold a straight line) and speed. Unlike any other inflatable SUP, the Fishbone features a patented displacement hull shaped injection molded nose cap which maintains contact with the water at all times, cutting through the water and distributing it out to the sides of the board, rather than planing across the surface of the water. For flatwater touring and racing, displacement hulls are far more efficient than planing hulls because they deliver higher speeds with the same level of user output. In line with this, the Fishbone’s displacement hull nose cap truly provides an inflatable SUP that efficiently uses the paddler’s power while on the water.
