Product Description:

The Clipper SUP Board is a premium touring board featuring a deliberately shaped nose and tail rocker to balance tracking and maneuverability. Whether you’re challenging headwinds on the Great Lakes or crushing river miles to make camp, the Clipper handles touring and overnight adventures with ease. The Clipper is offered in two lengths with two width options each. The 110 and 110w give a more compact, easier-to-handle touring option for novice or smaller paddlers, while the 126 and 126W offer options for larger paddlers or those looking to carry more.  

Essential Features:

• IST™ (Integrated Shaping Technology) uses multiple air chambers to create a unique shape, purpose-built for touring.
• ‘True Balance’ is the culmination of all IST Series designs and materials, resulting in unparalleled stiffness, performance, stability, and durability.
• Z/Blend Core™ is an innovative construction method that uses woven, rather than knit, drop stitch, making the Clipper 20% stiffer yet 15% lighter than previous boards.
• Inflates to 20 PSI for unmatched rigidity.
• The V-Hull design uses IST to add a V shape to the board nose, which enhances speed and tracking when touring.
• The DropDeck™ enhances stability by raising the deck rails to maintain volume and dropping the deck to lower the paddler’s center of gravity.
• EVA foam deck pad with die-cut ridges for added traction when wet.
• IST Concave Design uses three chambers to create concavity on the rails, which channels water back toward the fin for a cleaner flow of water and more efficient and quieter ride.
• Other True Balance design features include double sidewalls for maximum durability and the QuickClick™ fin system for customizing your set-up.
• Removable, interchangeable, nylon-reinforced plastic fins absorb impacts without breaking.
• Bravo inflation/deflation valve has a smaller footprint, allowing the deflated board to roll tighter.
• Nose and tail deckline configurations let paddlers securely rig gear for a day paddle or an epic adventure.
• Three handles for easy hauling solo or with a buddy; neoprene-wrapped center handle for paddler comfort.
• Stainless-steel D-ring leash attachment.
• Includes a high-pressure Super Pump II (with pressure gauge) one Touring fin, one Grass fin, travel backpack and repair kit.

Why should this product win?

With the Clipper, we used new innovations in inflatable materials and construction to create a stiffer, lighter board with a unique, three-dimensional V-shaped hull and drop-deck design that improves stability, tracking and performance for touring and distance paddlers.

The Clipper’s every detail is designed to excel in open water environments. Our innovative  “I.S.T.,” or Integrated Shaping Technology, uses three internal air chambers to create a unique shape purpose-built for distance. The ground-breaking V-Hull Design uses the inner chambers to create a V shape through the nose. The internal side chambers also form pronounced rails along the bottom of the board, creating a concave shape that channelizes water back to the fins for more efficient flow and better tracking. DropDeck™ technology raises the deck rails to maintain volume and drops the standing area, lowering the paddler’s center of gravity for a more stable ride.  A rugged PVC outer material, woven drop stitch inner and Double Sidewall construction deliver leading durability and stiffness. The woven drop stitch inner also reduces board weight and rolled size, opening new potential for SUP exploration.
