RACE-TEC

Eric Terrien's replicas

12’6 x 28.5" are fast, and fun to paddle, especially for longer distance race courses, or long-distance adventures. The Race-Tec 12’6 x 28.5" features a unique hull design that reduces drag and maximizes speed. Low entry-rocker increases efficiency and moderate tail-rocker allows for control, manoeuvrability and glide when catching bumps. A water-shedding deck keeps the nose up and out of chop. Designed by Patrice Remoiville along with pro rider Eric Terrien.

Directly modelled on the winning shapes used by our international rider Eric Terrien, the Race Pro boards are no-concession boards for expert level riders, but which will be of huge interest to the intermediate level paddler too. Designed for maximum speed and control by our shaper Patrice Remoiville, they’re manufactured in RACE-TEC, a composite construction that is ultra light weight and ultra rigid. Proven winners on the competition podiums, and for sheer paddling pleasure.
