Thinking outside the square - the South County “Freebird Banshee race board is certainly different.

I guess there would have been people that doubted the winged keel in it's early stages.

Looks a lot like the board that fella who used to post on here built.I think his name was Dean Snow or something like that. DJ will know.

this is an interesting development to SUPing but downriver racing kayaks have always had the widest beam behind the paddler. the same i suppose with basic C1 and K1 designs

and once those C1 guys get up off their one knee and start standing up then it's going to be a whole new world in flatwater SUP racing

I'm not sure about downriver but for K1 and C1 that "widest point" was imposed by the rules , after the 2000 olympics that rule ended and the K1s became wide enough for your butt to fit and the C1s got even skiinnier as only your leg had to fit in (and they got too tippy also ) In SUP balance is the only thing that determines width.
