SIC Maui RS

What the brand says

The RS took to the elite racing scene and the performance recreational fitness and touring market, becoming a huge favorite amongst paddlers of nearly all levels and garnering the prestigious SUPConnect “Race Board of The Year” award for 2018. The RS has now gotten even faster and stronger based on feedback from paddlers around the world and of course SIC global elite athletes which have paddled it in every possible condition. In the final analysis, the original RS remains one of the fastest boards in the world, however, master shaper Mark Raaphorst, through additional fine tuning and testing has been able to make the RS even faster. The refinements are slight but the improvement to top-end speed, significant. The nose has been pulled in slightly from the wide point, tapering to the tip of the nose, providing the RS with even better into-the-wind performance, acceleration, and top-end speed. The volume from the rails has been stacked back into the top deck and shaped into a higher center peak to sheer water and pop up more quickly when the nose punches through chop or purl in the trough of a wave. The nose of the 14’0” was lowered by approximately 1/4”/.635cm and the tail lowered by 1/2”/1.27cm to optimize the water- line. The rocker line of the 12’6” remains unchanged based on the rider’s opinion that it was near perfect. The decking in the cockpit was lowered slightly to lower the paddlers center of gravity, give more paddle power at the rail and improve rail-to-rail stability. The positioning of the drainage holes were also adjusted to further expedite water drainage from the cockpit. The all new Super Fly (SF) construction has been a massive leap forward in both durability, stiffness and overall performance. With a full PVC wrapped core to give the board tremendous impact resistance with its tip-to-tail / 360-degree rail-to-rail wrap few boards can compare. The boards are finished in a carbon and fiberglass skin further enhancing the boards overall stiffness and strength to weight ratio. They are beautifully finished with a metallic flake paint, crocodile textured EVA deck pad, and all the other bells and whistles that SIC is known for. All of these design elements set the new RS even further apart from its closest competitors. The RS is offered in 12’6” and 14’0” with eight total models, not including the two RS Youth 12’6” x 20.0” and 12’6” x 22.0” models.

These boards are molded to ensure great lamination strength and that every board is precisely like the master shaped by Mark Raaphorst.
