About this product
GEN R
A NEW GENERATION OF RACING
The Gen-R is a great fit between the flat water Sprint model and open ocean/all round All Star model. Additionally, youth riders will love this board for its speed and ease of use.
FASTER ACCELERATION
The low nose rocker and narrow nose outline help increase the acceleration and overall efficiency on flat. This acceleration is essential for tech racing, beach starts and explosive sprints after buoy turns.
SOLID TURNING AND STABILITY FROM THE TAIL
The wider tail outline combined with the flat deck makes it very comfortable to move and be stable during the turn.
NEW SLICING NOSE
The narrow outline in the tip of the nose is intended to slice efficiently in flat water as well as on ocean bumps. The lower nose rocker shares genetics with the Sprint, extending the waterline for faster acceleration and prolonged glide. Although the low nose rocker aids in early bump detection, the rider must move back to trim while riding bumps.
NEW SINGLE DRAIN HOLE
The single center drain hole allows water from the semi-recessed deck to fully drain. Although hardly any water sits on the deck while paddling, the single center drain hole funnels excess water out of the cockpit. The recessed carbon scupper minimises any drag for a clean release.
NEW 10” FIN BOX
The Gen-R is our first race model to feature the 10” fin box to fine tune rider fin preference. We have fitted the Gen-R with a larger box for adjustability. Short course racing would benefit from a fin further forward for fast turning, while longer races suit a fin further back in the box. Box placement varies for downwinding as some riders may prefer less or more tracking when surfing bumps.
NEW THINNER PROFILE, LIGHTWEIGHT BUILD
One of the key design criteria for the Gen-R was the light weight, thinner profile technical race board. This much anticipated model is built to be a thinner model for faster acceleration, easy beach starting and great performance in surf and around buoy turns. The thinner profile also helps keep control in side wind and side chop.
NEW BOARD SOCK
Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes. Ensure optimal board maintenance with the iconic blue Board Sock, featuring a secure drawstring closure.

Designed as the “go to board” for riders up to 110 kg, the Gen-R is designed for technical and surf racing and small chop. The flat standing area lets you tackle surf and small bumps with ease, and the 27” Gen-R is a fantastic model for intermediate racers and larger riders who want to up their speed around the course.
