The SUP racing scene in the US has been hot for the past couple of years and it’s now catching on in Canada.  No less than 6 series’ and several one and two day races are popping up across around the country.  And as more people get into the race scene, a common question comes up -  “Can I race on my board”? The answer is yes of course – but a race board will turn you into a bonified SUP speed racer…. well, almost.  For most people, their first board is a typical all-rounder which means you can paddle in flatwater, down rivers, and even surf it.

As you progress on  your first board, there may come a time when you decide  you want to go faster…. so here are a few boards from Bark, Rogue, Ron House and Surftech that will get you movin’.
