M1 Race 12’6” / 14’0” When it comes down to talk about the performance of a racing board, it comes down to speed, reliability and precision.
Created to paddle on lakes or on the oceans, the M1 Race line consists of winning boards for the most demanding riders.
Speed To maximize the effect of each stroke, the boards are designed with a Mistral X-Bow in order to cut like an axe through the water. Together with flow matching hull lines it simply makes the board run faster. Designed to give you an immediate feel of glide & with easy access, it allows you to maximize the effect of each stroke.
Shape The unique M1 Race line has the innovative Mistral X-Bow nose shape. This reduction of hydrodynamic drag translates into speed. The X-Bow pierces through the water instead of pushing it aside, which allows a very rapid and clean water flow when the board hits the chops.
Its wide tail will allow the board to surf the swells on open ocean races. This narrow and fast gliding board also features a lowered deck which helps to have a low gravity center, while keeping some volume on each end. The unique pad set-up, will allow you to instantly find your balance. The deck is flat, ensuring that the water doesn’t get stuck in the board.
It’ll also help you to get back fast and easily on the board after a fall. Two leash plugs will allow you to choose where to attach your leash; on the center of the board for phone leashes and quiet waters, or on the tail for surf leashes and open ocean races.
