Lahui Kai 14 is very quick.

New Suplove Stingray flatwater 14 out very soon ... and ... very fast ...

This board is incredibly fast and unique in design. There is nothing like this on the water. Designed in Australia by Andrew Dovell and made in Australia.

Customs also avaiable !!!

In my limited experience I would say without doubt the Lahui Kai 14.

I would love to see the Starboard Ace up against any of the boards mentioned. Yes it's a canoe like sunken deck shape and it upsets some people's aesthetic sensibilities, but if the 12'6 New is anything to go by, then the 14' Ace will be a force to be reckoned with.

Would have to agree with DJ

The Naish Javelin is by far the fastest flatwwater board I have been on and have seen paddled by the sunshine coast crew.

In the latest speed series it smoked all the other boards on the market that are listed abaove. Mind you the paddler is a fast paddlers as well but so are a lot of the others who paddled.

I would not recomend it for ocean downwinding on windy days but for the river, lake or ocean on calm days I believe nothing comes close to it.

If you want to go fast in the flat then this would be my current choice.

Lacey how wides the red rocket? And 15'3" thats a funny size to come up with why 15'3"?

Also have to agree the DC are really quick race boards and customs which you gotta love!
Casso 12'6" DC was the fastest flatwater board ive paddled but was really tippy in the surf as was quite narrow some thinf like casso 12'6 slightly wider would be epic.

red rocket-machined at 26".finished25.5" with the chines in there, for all intents and purposes, it would be 2' less.

funny story that one. when in design mode(solidworks) it was lenghten out, but was forgoten about until three were made and checked.however they went so well a few more got done before dropping the design back down to 14'. each board gets hand measured checked after that
cheers
