SIC Tao Surf (AT) ART Series
The TAO Surf is one of the most classic paddleboard shapes out there. The surf style shape makes it great for easy touring and catching some waves. This shape has been 1000s of peoples first hard SUP for good reason.
From SIC Maui:
The TAO ART series is inspired by traditional surf design. The full nose and rounded pintail help you to drop into waves, carving down the line with ease. The wider widths make the board stable, which comes in handy when punching through the shore break or standing out in the lineup. These boards also make for nice cruising boards with a moderate rocker line that tracks and glides nicely through the water.
TAO SURF (AT) ART can run multiple fin configurations (single fin or thruster setup). The overall volume is designed to accommodate the whole family, small or large, while the ACE-TEC (AT) construction offers a unique combination of durability and performance at an affordable price.

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.
