BLURR
RNB
The Blurr is Dave Boehne’s signature design. This is the most progressive SUP we offer and has been tested the world over. Dave competes on this very design on the Stand Up World Tour.
The “Round Nose Blurr” is the next step in performance. Incorporating a straighter outline concept, this allows for instant speed and added stability. This board bridges the gap between the Blurr and the Phoenix. Riders are able to ride a shorter board while maintaining the same stability as their standard board. Features a deep single concave throughout the bottom just like our performance shortboard designs.
This design works in any kind of surf and is competition ready. Shortboard inspired and low volume. We are able to custom tune the bottom contours to fit specific needs and waves. We also offer this board in any custom dimensions/volume desired by rider.

TEAM LABEL
CARVER
The “TL” Team Label was designed and approved by our Infinity team. Dave Boehne, Slater Trout, and Anthony Vela have tested this board worldwide in every and all conditions. This is our staple performance SUP surf board. Different from the original carver, this one has a narrower outline and even thinner foil. We still maintain the flat “speed” section between the feet for drive and blend in to Vee positioned in the sweet spot of the rocker. Match that with a specific fin placement and curvy rocker, it makes up a very fast, and responsive SUP under your feet.
The Carver is a performance board made for bigger guys who are experienced SUP surfers looking to “step down” in size/length and step up their performance.
5 fin option comes standard for even more versatility. The team prefers this board set up as a quad. We also offer this board in any custom dimensions / volume desired by the rider.
We thin the foil overall to maintain a thin nose and tail. The outline enables both nose riding and performance off the tail. This performance outline is fuller than the TL for stability. The bottom has a flat “speed” section between the feet which rolls into Vee positioned in the sweet spot of the rocker which gives the Carver it’s magic ride. We also offer this board in any custom dimensions / volume desired by the rider.

TROUT SURF At just 19 years old Slater Trout is easily the biggest kid we know! When he’s not racing or training he loves to have a ton of fun SUP Surfing. Placing 1st in the Standup World Tour Sunset Beach Trials in 2010 Slater is no slouch in the surf. Slater wanted an all around style performance board. This board has more of a traditional performance longboard shape with a flatter, fuller nose allowing for great stability walking the board and nose riding. The back half of the board is similar to the “TL” Team Label with a nice flip in the exit rocker for turning. This board has a very thin nose and tail making it much different from your ordinary long board shape. Comes standard as a 2 + 1 fin set up. We also offer this board in any custom dimensions / volume desired by the rider.
WIDE AQUATIC The “Wide Aquatic” is max volume engineered with max performance for the larger surfer. Master shaper and SUP designer Steve Boehne excels in designing performance boards for the larger 220lbs+ surfer. Timeless design theory and characteristics come together in one board for the “big dogs”. Catch waves with ease, turn on a dime and enjoy the life aquatic! The big size also doubles as a fun cruiser board for the family on flat water.

This is a sweet board for our longtime surf fans that have converted over to SUP! Dave Boehne wanted to make an old school log but with big enough dims to stand up paddle on. This board is a blown up retro log. We make it with a poly blank, standard resin and glass it with volan. Heavy, 50/50 rails, nose concave, resin tin, glass on fin, and volan glass. We can customize the template too. We’ve been making them with round noses as well as square tails.

Rides just like the classic noseriders we have in our surf line. Paddles quick, trims down the line effortlessly and noserides amazing. Now you tell me, is this a SUP? Or a longboard?? Confuse everyone.

PHOENIX
The Phoenix is a mini simmons inspired SUP designed by Dave Boehne and Infinity team rider – Simmons enthusiast Chris Hill… Fast, stable, and a fun fishy ride.
Chris “Chill” Hill on the NC Coast, Photo: Eric Vithalani
The popularity of this design has been unreal and has evolved into 4 specific designs making up the most comprehensive “simmons” style SUP line up available. The Phoenix are short, wide, and carry more volume than your typical board. This allows a rider to go much shorter than ever thought possible while maintaining fantastic stability and paddle speed. Automatically take 1ft + off of the length of your current board. The straighter outline and wide tail allow the board to have automatic speed from take off and get the board up and planning on it’s own. We match that up with a twin and/or quad set up for unmatched speed and maneuverability. We use the ProBox fin system exclusively on the Phoenix adding to the boards versatility and unmatched custom options.
15 PHOENIX V1 Version 1 is the original and the one that started it all. This board is a great place to start for guys venturing into smaller SUP’s. The “V1” is super stable and the highest volume of the bunch. Rolled belly hull entry blended into a specific “tear” drop style concave between the fins. We recommend this model in a twin fin set up for maximum speed and the fun skatey feel we all enjoy in small gutless surf. This board is also very fun to paddle flat water with the family.
We have developed signature “Phoenix” keel twin fins and quad sets with Larry Allison which makes the Phoenix stand out from all the rest. There has been endless R&D from Larry Allison, Chris Hill and Dave Boehne on this project to get us where we are today and the results speak for themselves.

PHOENIX
V2
V3
Version 2 is our most popular model. A performance tuned version of the original. V2 features a much thinner foil in the nose an tail thanks to a subtle “S” deck and angular rails. This keeps volume right where you need it for paddling and allowing a nice thin performance style rail in the water for turning on a dime.
The shortboarders Phoenix. We pull in the nose and tail template while maintaining a straight outline through the apex of the template.
The outline is still very straight but a bit more pulled in on either end from the V1. The bottom has a subtle hull entry and lifted rails that blends into a V concave in the sweet spot which compliments the placement of the fins beautifully. We can do multiple tail options as well. Square, Swallow, Diamond, Arc, Jet, etc… Fast, stable, turns on a dime V2 is SICK…
Adding a wing pulls the tail template in even narrower while keeping a wide tail block for max planning speed and stability. We add an “elevated wing” to trick the water while turning. Your board will feel 2” narrower under your back foot while turning. This wing aides in hallow waves with some bite as well. We still don’t know the limits of this board as its been proven to be a very versatile difference maker.

V4 ASYM Evolution of design and creativity. This Phoenix features an asymmetric tail. This breaks the rules and is essentially two different size boards in one performance package. Feel the heel-side advantage with an Asym. The Asym makes a lot of sense with the wider surf style SUP’s. We shorten the outline and snub the nose for minimal volume displacement. The placement of the fins are key. The heel-side has generous amount of V while the toe side edge is complimented with a spiral V contour. Rocker, outline, and fin placement come together in harmonious hydrodynamics. We also make the V4 in standard tail shapes without the Asym keeping the snub nose.

15 DART
AV walking out for a downwind run, Hood River, OR
The ultimate flat water specific racer. The dart bow is extremely sharp with a more V’d bottom than all of the other models. The hull gets narrower from the deck down which means the deck is wider but below the water line it is sharper and has less wetted surface. This creates an extremely quiet and slick displacement of water. Low profile needle style nose provides fast “out of the gates” speed while forcing the wide point in the outline further back. This helps with stability and also creates a closer to the body, more powerful stroke. This board tracks extremely straight and has a very clean exit draft. We finish it off with a widened tail block to build stability back into the board and increase confidence while standing back on the tail to turn. The Dart has the most glide per stroke of all the models. We custom tailor each and every raceboard to rider needs and preference. We can make any racer with a flat Cockpit, shallow sunken cockpit or our signature deep cockpit w/ scupper drain for ultimate stability. The Dart is the ultimate flat water weapon. The finest displacement racing down a straight outline makes up for a very fast and incredibly quiet paddle. Available in both 12’6” and 14’ lengths ***Choose this board if you paddle 100% of the time in flat water***

CUTTHROAT
WHIPLASH
The Cutthroat is Slater Trout’s signature Ocean Racer. Completely new and redesigned for 2015 we worked directly with Slater and the #InfinitySpeedFreaks to make the most versatile ocean and intra-coastal racer available.
The Whiplash is Slater Trout’s signature all arounder that has been proved the world over in all conditions. If you seek a board that does it ALL pretty darn good, this is your board.
by Slater Trout
This board bridges the gap for people who paddle both flat and open ocean conditions daily. With an all new 3 stage rocker that increases forgiveness in chop and downwind sliding while maintaining competitive flat water glide. This board sprints incredibly fast and has also been a great choice for surf race style competition. The Cutthroat features our new custom “flat” deck cockpit for max comfort and that surfboard feel while moving about the board in bump and bottom concaves for added stability and lift.
by Slater Trout
Slater’s number one request with this board is “make it easy to paddle” Rather than focusing on a single design goal, Slater wanted a board that is versatile and does everything well. Flat water, open ocean, down wind, up wind, chop, riding bumps etc. All new updated design for 2015. The whiplash features a very boxy flat bottom increasing the stability for riders pushing to go narrower. Has more flip in the nose and tail from the Dart board offering up more forgiveness across different conditions. We also turn down the nose for aiding in side wind and a low profile stealth look. You can’t go wrong with the Whiplash as Slater has made the podium all over the world in all types of racing conditions against the worlds best on this very design.
Available in both 12’6” and 14’ Lengths ***Choose this board if you are someone that lives by the ocean that paddles in a marina and also goes outside in the open ocean. Or flat water paddler that experiences chop and downwind conditions***
We are able to make the whiplash with Flat deck, shallow recessed cockpit and our signature deep recessed cockpit with scupper drain. Available in both 12’6” and 14’ lengths. ***If you can’t choose which board is for you. This is probably your board. All around performance in all waters. Whiplash is our staple performance racer***

BLACKFISH
15
The Blackfish series of boards is the latest evolution in design by Dave Boehne. Taking the concept of hydrodynamic surf design in an all new collection of boards that have taken the race paddle scene by storm. The concept was as simple as Dave wanting to throw the nose from a Steve Boehne prone board on the front half of a raceboard. Since this simple want the BlackFish series has expanded and been fine tuned to meet the needs of any disciple of paddling. The concept is to plane rather than displace. It’s different from a lot of the boards out there but it’s where we are headed.

BLACKFISH
BLACKFISH ST Slater & Tina the Great White, California 2014
The “ST” is an all around racer developed by Dave Boehne with input from Slater Trout. This board features a very straight outline from tip to tail that increases stability and an all new rocker that likes to plane on top of the water rather than slice and part it away. This board is super forgiving in chop and is a beast paddling upwind/up-chop. Slater claims it to be the “fastest board in the bumps I’ve ever ridden” and if you have the motor this board has been proven to sprint faster than any board we make. Slater took 1st Place 2014 Payette River Games flat water sprint and 8th place 2014 Battle of the Paddle. Versatile indeed. Available in both 12’6” and 14’ lengths

BLACKFISH
DW
TOUR
The “DW” is our downwind board. This board features the same principles of our BlackFish series but with increased rocker and tuned bottom specific to downwind riding. The volume is distributed a bit differently and features max stability and glide from bump to bump. Channel crossings, Cali short period bumps, or Gorge style downwind bump running we got you covered.
The tour is a new take on the touring board. Very stable with an increased tail block. Features all of the same BlackFish trademark design features in a smaller package. This board is perfect for exploring, fitness and everyday cruising. We also can add on tie downs for fishing and carrying gear. The 11’ and 12’ lengths are perfect for ample glide and stability but can perform in the waves and mild downwind runs. The perfect board for people who want a fast stable board but don’t necessarily race.
Available 12’6”, 14” and unlimited lengths with steering

PRONE This is our all new 2015 prone board. This board has been meticulously tested and designed by Dave Boehne and our team of SPEEDFREAKS like Anthony Vela, Candice Appleby, and Slater Trout. These paddlers have extensive knowledge and experience paddling prone boards and we’ve incorporated the feedback into our range of Paddleboards. With the Blackfish concept working across many disciples we’ve created an extremely fast and slippery prone board that is available ultra light and in Lifeguard competition weights. Available 10’6”, 12’, and unlimited lengths.

TANDEM & MULTI
15 A Tandem SUP is the best way to include your wife, kids, or buddies into your SUP experience. Steve Boehne made the first tandem SUP for him and his wife in 2009. Steve was surprised to find that he was much faster on it with her than he was on his own single race board. This is because two or more paddles pulling at the same time is much more efficient and will propel the same length board faster than one paddle. When you paddle with another guy, the top speed is two miles an hour faster than paddling alone.
Casey and Jennifer Trout out for a cruise
We soon found that we could fit 3-4 people on a tandem. This was even more fun and even faster. A tandem can be as short as 16’ but 18’ is a better racer. For serious racing or three people a 19’ tandem is the best. A tandem is only $150 more than a regular raceboard of the same length. It’s very affordable and can be paddled with only one person alone.
“The Quadnundrum: by far the most fun. We make a 21ft 4 person board named the USS Quadnundrum. It’s fast and stable. We become and eight armed paddling organism. We call out the paddle side changes like an out rigger team. This size board is difficult and expensive to make but beyond in the fun scale. Just think of the race team you can create.” – Steve Boehne Infinity SUP broke new ground and Is credited with being the first to race a multi-person team in an elite race ever. In 2009 Steve and Barrie Boehne were the first to ever race tandem in any race. They did it in the open race at Battle of the Paddle. In 2011 Elite racers Slater Trout and Dave Boehne raced to a 2nd Place behind Danny Ching in the BOP elite distance race with only 15 minutes of practice. They got awarded “Most Inspirational” Award.

TWIN TO WIN
15
The twin fin revolution is here and Infinity has been all over the concept for over a year now. Dave Boehne has been working tirelessly with Larry Allison on this concept and are proud to offer Allison twin fin option and ProBox fins systems on all Infinity race boards. “It started from our twin fin Phoenix surf SUP’s we make and my love of twin fins. We were blown away by the speed created on these boards. Why not twin fins on raceboards? Stoked to work with Larry and super excited to be the first brand to offer this set up full on in production. If you don’t see these fins popping up on other brands soon I will be very surprised. You have to try it for yourself.” – Dave Boehne Adding the probox twins and front ventral option gives your Infinity unmatched customization and limitless versatility. Ride your board as a traditional single fin, twin, or thruster all with or without a front ventral fin. When boxes are not in use we have custom “floater” plugs that sit in the box for no drag. Concept is simple. Shallower fins for quicker release and responsive “get up and go” feel per stroke. You can add the front ventral for incredible tracking and added projection. The third fin thruster option adds extra shallow area for added traction. Sprint faster, glide longer, with less effort. Simply put it’s the most simplest way to add Horse Power, tracking, and stability to your board. Everyone can benefit from this concept from Elite racers looking for custom ride advantages in different conditions to everyday paddlers looking for ultimate versatility. Why limit your board to a single option? Feel the difference. Key advantages: • • • • • •
Shallower fins means less drag and quicker get up and go. Smaller Multi fins adds same surface area as 1 traditional single fin but with less drag. Twins force water to the center of the board adding lift and enhancing forward tracking. Twins projecting from the rail adds stability from side to side. Front ventral adds unbelievable tracking and stability in side chop, swell, and cross wind.
