SIC RS 14.0 DF
The RS is one of the most well regarded all water race boards of all time. It has won countless titles over the last 5 years. The shape has been refined over time and is now available in the DF construction. This is slightly heavier than the full carbon SF construction but is a lot more friendly on the bank account.
From SIC:
The 2024 RS in DF all-water race and touring board has a recessed deck and is made with Dragon Fly molded wood sandwich construction. It has the same high-performance features found in the award-winning RS in SF but in a durable DF build at a budget-friendly price. The RS in DF is a great entry-level raceboard and the perfect performance touring option for those looking to go the distance in ocean conditions. Now, with NEW graphics.
The RS recessed deck provides a slightly lower center of gravity without impeding rail-to-rail foot control. The bottom center channel helps provide directional tracking in conditions, while the rocker provides exceptional glide in the flats.
Features
FLAT NOSE FOR GLIDE AND DIRECTIONAL CONTROL - The nose of the RS is flat and gives it excellent primary stability from the bottom. The straighter nose rocker enhances glide in the flats and directional control.
SQUARED OFF TAIL SHAPED FOR GLIDE -.The squared-off tail increases the surface area, helping maintain an even plane through the water while paddling at a high cadence, ultimately the fastest.

About SIC MAUI
Like many a master shaper Mark Raaphorst did his time and paid his dues before setting up his own repair shop. He got hooked on SUP as soon as they started to appear on Maui and he very quickly found a way to combine his knowledge of moulded technology with his new passion. Before long SIC boards were winning almost every race they entered.
