Light Board Corp GT 14' X 23.5" - SUPboarder Magazine

What we say

Just like the rest of the SUPboarder team, our Race Doctor Bryce Dyer loves getting his hands on the latest SUP gear. And a board that caught his eye lately is the Light Board Corp GT 14′. From the outside, to many paddlers the Light Board Corp GT may just look like a high glossy finished race board. But this board has one thing that makes it very different from your usual SUP… there’s nothing in it! The Light Board Corp GT is hollow and is a whopping 4kgs lighter than its race counterparts.

“An innovative, novel and game changing race board that challenges the conventions of how a board is made, behaves and is owned. It’s novel weight and construction means you need to patient with it initially but this is a sensationally good race board from an up and coming brand.” Dr Bryce Dyer
