A WORD FROM THE MAKER "THE PARADOXA UD"
For me it is the most sexy supraceboard in the world. It's technology is a world's first in sup construction. It's versatility is huge and as a flatware design it can handle rough conditions. Simply speaking it's very stable and super fast. How comes that ? Usually boards are either stable or fast - that's why it it is the PARADOXA..
Take in mind you paddle as fast as with a 23" but feel comfortable like on a 25" wide board.
In comparison to the Mantra 2.0 we arranged a wider tail and gave the front part in the first 50cm a more narrow outline. The magic rocker line is based on the super fast Mantra 23.2 with slight adjustments to meet the targeted paddler weight. The center bottom has a subtle concave with edges gradually running from round to really sharp in the tail. This creates more 1st stability without sacrificing wetted surface which creates drag. The rockerline features a flat center line and straight low rocker in the last 1/3rd which makes the board a wash riding giant even in the 2nd and 3rd wave and will save energy when needed. This shape handles wind waves and chop with the all new exaggerated "Vround" front bottom and you can easily overtake small waves cutting through instead of paddling above. The dugout stance is below waterline and the most radical design available in serial production. This is possible due to the function of our drainage valve system which let´s water out but not in. This stance position creates additional stability and better leverage and power to your blade.
The sidewalls are high to prevent water entry in rougher conditions and slim enough to offer huge standing options.
The sideline is heavily tapered in the back to prevent water entry while turning.
Overall flex is super stiff, way far from what you know from premium eps core carbon boards. Our new UD - AUTOCLAVE UNIDIRECTIONAL CARBON PREPREG TECHNOLOGY in hollow construction has 4 layers of unidirectional carbon around the center high density foam layer. The curing process is accurate managed under pressure and heat in AUTOCLAVE technology.. Every stroke will push you forward and you will not loose energy in flex.
The carbon outer shell is that tight that you do not need a gelcoat or 2k lacquer for protection. So we decided you can choose the even more lightweight naked version or some variety in design and colors.
The new PREPREG UD technology is not only superior in speed but also the most ECO FRIENDLY way to manufacture - no eps core, no wet lamination and excess resin.
Cheers Gerd

AUTOCLAVE UNIDIRECTIONAL CARBON PREPREG TECHNOLOGY - eco friendly
This technology is based on premium production standards developed for aerospace and formula racing cars. 4 layers of epoxy resin impreganted unidirectional carbon fiber with a closed cell high density pvc foam in the center are layed up in the mold . There is no wet lamination necessary as the curing happens in autoclave technology using 4-5 times atmospheric pressure + heat which melts the resin and bonds all layers far more accurate compared to wet lamination process. Our new UD PREPREG technology is far more eco friendly than conventional build sup raceboards. No styrofoam core, less harmfull lamination process, no excess epoxy resin and guaranteed precision to bond each fiber leads to longevity, precise shapes and higher performance.
While paddling each stroke energy is transmitted to forward momentum .

Unidirectional Prepreg carbon fiber fabric is non-woven and features all fibers running in a single, parallel direction. It is pre impregnated with resin in a computer controlled process. There are no gaps between fibers, and each fiber is impreganted with exactly the amount of resin that is necessary for perfect bonding in the lamination process. There is no cross-section weave that divides the fiber strength in half with another direction. This allows for the concentrated density of fibers that provide maximum longitudinal strength.
|
Closed cell high density PVC foam is used for the core between the carbon layers. It provides stiffness and durability in a lightweight sandwich structure. We use different thickness layups to create extra durability in strategic areas of the board hull.
|
The composite curing AUTOCLAVE lamination process is the key factor for better durability, weight advantage and longevity. Autoclave enables us to control the cure time, temperature, pressure and vacuum accurately. The bonding between the unidirectional prepreg carbon fibers, pvc sandwich foam is leading the uncomparable strength ratio. It is aso less harmfull for the envionment and working staff as we do not need to operate in the classic wet lamination process.
|
The boards are finished with high quality 2K Marine paint providing 100% UV protection and superior scratch and chemical resistance. Our finish is usually shiny but we offer matt finish as well.
There is a clear design stripe in the tail of the boards with the visible UD construction and handwritten serial number and dimension. We offer multiple design proposals. |

3D PREVIEW TOOL - ZOOM & ROTATE
SIMULATION OF WATERLINE, FRICTION AND HYDROSTATIC STABILITY BASED ON PADDLERS WEIGHT 86kg + BOARD
The "KAPER Drag approximation" gives the evolution of the viscous drag and the residual (wave) drag with speed. The residual drag is given by the
KAPER APPROXIMATION formula based on tests on sea kayaks. This curve can be far from the truth, consider it with caution. But we figured out that this measurement reflects our product development comparisons in sup as well. We see this as a usefull tool in designing the fastest sup raceboards.

HYDROSTATIC STABILITY
Dimensions, wetted surface, outline, rail design, bottom contour, volume distribution come into play. In the design process our main target has been speed and stability. So we compared multiple design options to create stability while not sacrificing the speed potential.
