Here’s another one from Starboard’s 2010 SUP racing line, the 12′6″ “Free Race” stand up paddle racing board. This board comes in two widths: 29″ for lighter riders and flat water conditions, and 31″ for heavier riders and rougher conditions.

The Free race design nicely share the water and are great for both flat water and choppy conditions.
They are also well suited for surf style events like the Battle of The Paddle. The semi sunk deck provides more balance and the flat mid rocker translates each stroke into forward motion.
