NSP is one of the world’s largest brands in recreational surfing and stand up paddleboarding. Since 2011 NSP has produced some of the fastest SUP race boards on the planet, quickly racking up some of the most sought after and prestigious titles with the help of national and international athletes. Our race designer, Alain Teurquetil, first came across stand up paddling back in 2008 when his tandem surfing buddy came back from Hawaii and decided to leave a paddle with Alain. Finding a paddle board in Australia back then was next to impossible, but another coincidence had Alain meet Dale Chapman. Living just an hour away, Dale was the only shaper on the Gold Coast with an interest in SUP design. Intrigued, Alain spent a lot of time paddling and trying out different concepts that Severalyear.months later, Alain was traveling back from Europe and visited the Gold Coast once more. This time, Dale was working on 12’6” shapes and unlimited race boards, which caught Alain’s interest. After trying a 16’ race board, the virus really got a hold of him. Exploring different performance designs together, Alain quickly hit the limitations of his software. A solution came from Shape3D, a software company specializing in surf designs. By tweaking their CAD program beyond the metrics of classic surf and windsurf designs, creating advanced race boards from design to finish became effortless.

Travis rode Alain’s winning designs and Dale shaped the prototypes into existence. In 2013 Alain and Dale tested their first 12’6” design in Europe, laying the foundation of NSP’s current racing and touring program. Alain with the help of our pro team continues to design and develop the NSP race program. Together, Alain, Travis, Titouan, Ty, Kealan and Annie have secured top podium spots around the world, from the 4 Molokai to the 3 Carolina Cup, 12 Towers, 3 Air France to the many Euro Tour wins, and 10 ICF World Champions. NSP has some of the very best watermen and women training and testing NSP products. Their findings, in combination with Alain‘s designs create NSP products that perform and continue to be at the top of podiums around the world.

ALAIN TEURQUETIL - SHAPER
In 2011, team NSP, under the direction of Trent Pedersen (today’s Brand Manager and CEO), along with his team, produced their first production race boards. These boards were later selected by the ISA to be used in 2012 at the ISA SUP World Championships in Peru. From there, NSP, with their boards quickly gaining a reputation for speed approached Dale to collaborate on a race program for the brand. Under the condition that a top athlete would be signed to promote, test and help develop the race brand, Travis Grant joined the NSP team that same year and history was made.

Evolved width equals performance gains A reduced width is nothing without stability. Optimizing the center of gravity for the Carolina resulted in a more balanced riding experience. This allowed us to decrease the width for noticeable performance gains.

The NSP Carolina is a winning tool for 90% of all racing conditions that a competitive stand-up paddle racer encounters. The bottom shape of the new Carolina remains the same, as its performance conquered a lot of podium finishes. An increase in rail height decreases the amount of water collected, and by reducing the length of the recessed area, less water is collected at buoy turns.
By lowering the center of gravity across the entire shape, not just the standing area, athletes benefit consistently, even when they are on the back of the board. The improved stability allows athletes to go more narrow, and reap the benefits of the increased performance throughout the Carolina range.

The improved cockpit design keeps out more water – a reinforced and heightened rail lip shields the cockpit from more splash water and the reduced length of the recessed area collects less water in buoy turns. A subtle shift of the four AVS pods (Accelerator Vacuum System) towards the rocker increases the AVS performance of the new Ninja and the recessed area now drains more effectively as well. A lower center of gravity helps stability, allowing the design team to reduce the width of the 21” model, creating a Ninja with a width of just 20”. The NSP Ninja gives paddlers an incredibly fast flatwater weapon, but the best part is that the Ninja works in water with textured conditions as well. The increasing demands of flatwater racers, looking to race even narrower shapes, made us design the Ninja in 21” up to widths of 24” as well.

16 RACE FSL SUP RACE INFLATABLE Not everyone is blessed with enough storage space for a dedicated race board. Athletes wanting to do away with roof racks and cumbersome transportation should look into the Race FSL. FSL = Fusion Light Fusion-reinforced double layer glueless pre-lamination combined with the new machine woven dropstitch. Compared to traditional knitted dropstitch, the fibers of the new machine woven dropstich are stiffer and thus the amount of fibers per square meter can be reduced. This allows an average weight reduction of 1.5 kg, while the board is also stiffer, less bouncy, faster acceleration. • Double layer rail construction with double sealing rail band • New low-profile Air7 V3 finbox system creates less drag while racing and allows for easy board roll-up while not in use (see page 49 for more details) • 2” scotty mount D-rings for PFD attachment on tail • Thermoformed EVA Deckpad for durability, grip and comfort Fusion-reinforced double layer gluelessLow-profilepre-laminationAir7V3finboxsystemThermoformed EVA Deckpad Double sealing rail band D-rings for attachmentPFD 14’0”14’0”14’0”12’6”10’6” 27”25”23”25”23” 6”6”6”6”6” 210 L 280 L 295 L 315 L 325 L Touring 9” Touring 9” Touring 9” Touring 9” Touring 9” •NOXY0901•NOXY0902•NOXY1008•NOXY0903•NOXYPT03 Race FSLLength Width Thickness Volume Fin SPECS High capacity double action pump Premium Backpack with InternalAir7wheelsV3USfin box NSP Photographer Adam Collins Rider : Duna Gordillo Location : 2021 ICF SUP World Championships, Hungary Board RACE FSL ICFWORLDCHAMPION

• Low profile. The V3 is more hydrodynamic than other fin boxes on the market, with a lower profile, offering less drag, making the board more efficient and faster. And the V3 fin box gives the board the look, feel and performance of a “hard board”.
• Completely removable. Travel easier, stow smarter.
• Better for the Environment. Reduced shipping volume = smaller carbon footprint. In addition, with a non-permanent, non-glued and removable part, it is much easier to replace and recycle due to damage or at the end of board life. The V3 puts us one step closer to saving the planet!

6) Fix hook & loop on BELT to correct length (as per marking on BELT)
The clear benefits to the customers is the board is less cumbersome and now much more easy to roll-up and store. To retailers and warehouses, the benefits include: smaller packing, less storage volume, less warehouse space and reduced transportation fees.
Tip for easy install :
1) Uninstall fin. 2) Deflate board.
9) Go out on the water
4) Completely remove fin box (both parts) from board.
7) Inflate to full recommended pressure.

To Remove Fin Box :
• Replace parts easier: Fixing and replacing broken fin boxes creates a lot of undue stress, cost and frustration to customers and brands. Eliminating downtime on the water is key and with the “pop-in and go” ease of the V3 , riders are back on the water in no time. Replacement parts can now be easily kept in stock, greatly reducing shipping back and forth across the country / world.

NSP has partnered with Air7 Fin Systems, the leader in performance and quality parts for inflatable water craft since 2009, for the next fin revolution on our Race Inflatable range. The Air7 (V3) is the future fin system for all inflatable boards. The thickness of inflatable boards is not always the same and with the V3 you can now easily adjust the fin box to suit all thicknesses, from 4 inches to 6 inches and more.
• Stronger and stiffer. Not only joined to the bottom surface, the V3 is also connected to the top and internal portion of the board. This makes for not only a much stronger, but stiffer board, which equals less losses to flex and more power transferred into your ride with every stroke.

Every rider will have the same feel when the blade hits the water. NSP blades produce consistent speed, conserve energy and allow paddlers to get more out of their session, every single time.
The raised and extended dihedral provides more strength to the blade and allows a smooth transition and thinner blade. The edge is only 1.7mm thick, creating the smoothest water entrance with immediate bite. The raised tip is parallel to the shaft for aggressive catch and controlling the pace going through the power face.

Our code name during development was “New Surf Project”. The name stuck and “NSP” was established. Over the years, we changed and evolved, and so did the name. Today, NSP stands for “Nature”, “Surfing” and “Products” because at the end of the day, that is what the company is all about. His dream was a utilitarian surfboard that could ride in the back of a pick-up truck to the beach, be left in the sun all-day or loaned to a friend without fear of damage – of course it had to surf well enough to be given to his long-time surfing buddies, neighbors and friends.
While working on Maui as a custom surfboard builder, Buzz had an epiphany about producing affordable, versatile, durable and great performing surfboards. Buzz correctly realized there were everyday surfers who needed an affordable board that performed in Hawaii, yet they didn’t require “custom” or specialized competition or extreme surf boards. STORY
The quest began, so Buzz summoned his friends working for a leading composites manufacturer with the goal to create a light, very durable surf board at highly competitive prices. Working together they introduced a new epoxy technology that would go on to revolutionize the industry and quite possibly recreational surfing. Weekend and occasional surfers no longer had to rely on the ill- performing “foamies” or be relegated to the used board market.
NSP was born in 2001 from the vision of Bruce “Buzz” Hansen, a life-long surfer, skater and all round waterman.
NSP OUR

Posting for the sake of posting will show, and your posts will go unnoticed. Engage your shops, team riders, ambassadors, share demo days, winter sales, summer sales, product reviews or anything else you think is interesting. Your audience will let you know what they like. Tagging is what lets people know you are talking to them, and will trigger engagement. Tagging a single person activates their network, carrying you and your message that much further. #sopitted is going to attract different instagram users than #tractionpad or #kookoftheday. Being creative and adding the hashtags that apply to a specific situation will allow you to get more followers so make sure to change things up! 46
