A couple of seasons careful research and thorough testing in the background gave birth to three super Fly SUP shapes. Designed mainly with surfing performance in mind, these beautifully compact boards have waveriding rocker lines, yet their harmonic volume placement and plan shapes allow for super fun core workouts on flat-water and lakes. As an added bonus all three styles come with windsurfing rig mast-tracks to widen their all-round and family range of use. With two models for any level of rider and one advanced shape, you'll be stoked on surfing whenever the wind fails to howl. To suit everyone's taste we're offering two constructions - either durable High Resistance Skin (HRS), or stylish Wood Sandwich finishes. Both lay-ups come with snug and trusty Softdeck non-slip pads.
Fly 9' 6"
Shoot down the line for a pure top-to-bottom surfing sensation. The 9'6" drives off the tail and winds up speed with a racy thruster fin set-up. Let speed be your friend with a flat section into pronounced Tail V for either tight pocket carving, or more powerful drawn-out lines. Although designed for more advanced riders, the fishtail shape gives both acceleration and wave-catching lift to intermediates. And thanks to our CAD-engineered volume flow and flat deck, you'll gain stability and glide where other shorter, high-performance boards demand more balance and paddling skill. The 9' 6" is available in only our top-end Wood Sandwich Construction with Softdeck for a stylishly high-tech yet retro look.
Fly 10' 0"
For lighter and middleweight riders, the Fly 10' 0" is perfect for first waves through to charging big surf. A classic pintail shape guarantees performance and speed, while the lower entry rocker line means you'll never miss a wave. With a speedy flat spot in front of plenty of V in the tail, this 10-footer feels loose for vertical control and power. A tri fin cluster gives further options for drive and tracking in almost any water state. Available in either High Resistance Skin (HRS) or high-spec Wood Sandwich Constructions - both featuring Softdeck non-slip pad.
Fly 10' 6"
A board for a lifetime of surfing. Heavier riders or those who want a board for all conditions will fall in love with this timeless thruster shape. Soft rails up front and sharper edges in the tail give the grip and feel of a smaller board with all the grace and glide of the ancient Hawaiians. Thanks to a flatter nose rocker and more pronounced curve in the tail, you gain easy paddling and turning ability for effortless, cruisy rides. A flat deck and volume out wide mean there's balance and stability galore. A whole new world of fitness and adventure awaits as you explore rivers and creeks, enjoy long distance paddles, or just splashing around on your local lake. What greater way to share the joy of surfing with family, friends and beginners? Choose from lightweight Wood Sandwich or durable HRS constructions, with both models sporting comfy slip-free Softdeck.
