The winning tool for 90% of all racing conditions that a competitive stand-up paddle racer encounters.
Design:
• The bottom shape of the new Carolina remains the same, as its performance conquered a lot of podium finishes.
• A reduced width is nothing without stability. Optimizing the center of gravity for the Carolina resulted in a more balanced riding experience. This allowed us to decrease the width for noticeable performance gains. Note the subtle dug-out at the bottom of the rails, allowing a wider stance and improved stability. The NSP Carolina comes with a single centered, neoprene handle placed on a balanced fixture point for ultra-fast beach starts and close-call finishes.
• Recessed deck allowing for low center of gravity and adds stability. By lowering the center of gravity across the entire shape, not just the standing area, athletes benefit consistently, even when they are on the back of the board. The improved stability allows athletes to go more narrow, and reap the benefits of the increased performance throughout the Carolina range.
• Heightened rail lip around cockpit reduces water intake in the standing area.
• High-performance tail for easy buoy turns.
• Dug-out rails for wider stance creates additional width and improves stability.
Fin:
The NSP 20, 22 and 24 racing fins are designed to deliver top performance: expect excellent tracking, stability, efficiency, speed and easy acceleration.

The Ninja’s are all about efficiency, saving the energy riders need for longer runs.
Originally a flatwater racer with key design elements that helped in flatwater with disruptive chop, the Ninja continued to evolve into a flatwater board that can handle (mild) sea conditions. Nose diving is minimized by a subtle redistribution of the volume, while an improved cockpit design keeps out more water.
A lower centre of gravity helps stability, which allowed the design team to reduce the width of the 21” model, creating a new Ninja with a width of just 20”.
The NSP Ninja gives paddlers an incredibly fast flatwater weapon, but the best part is that the new Ninja works in water with textured conditions as well. The increasing demands of flatwater racers, looking to race even narrower shapes, made us design the Ninja in 20” up to 24” widths as well.
Design:
• Recessed deck for a low centre of gravity, adding stability.
• Wide tail for high-performance and stable buoy turns.
• Accelerator Vacuum System (AVS) for quick water drain from the dugout standing area.
• A full-length nose keeps the entire board in the water, creating speed and consistency.

The NSP Sonic, with its recessed shape will allow you to effortlessly link bump after bump The NSP Sonic is our pure open-water, downwind raceboard that also performs exceptionally well in crosswind and upwind conditions. These boards are at their very best when you hit some chop or string together bump after bump on ocean swell.
Design:
• The evolution of the Sonic focuses on increasing stability by lowering the center of gravity and adopting the tail shape of the incredibly efficient Carolina raceboard.
• By lowering the center of gravity riders are able to choose a more narrow board, in turn leading to an increase in speed.
• We adopted the tail shape of the Carolina, our most versatile race board. The flattish-square tail allows you to push over the bumps in open ocean swell, while on the flats, the tail sits higher in the water, generating more planing speed.
• Inside the cockpit, exclusively in the standing area, we cut out the rails in key areas to enable a wider stance. This subtle tweak rewards riders with additional stability and more comfort. Stability allows riders to focus on winning instead of compensating, especially when riding off the back of the board.
• If you are committed to racing, improving your personal best and downwind skills; choose what our pros race and pick a 22”. For anyone else we recommend the 24.25” with the width and stability to keep you on board and get you across the finish line early.
Fin:
Expect excellent tracking, stability, efficiency, speed and easy acceleration with the Race 22 and 24 fins.

Our most versatile and user-friendly performance racer in the NSP range, tweaked to have even more stability with the same width of last year’s design. This new found stability really makes a difference in crowded buoy turns or during a quick surf when you hit the back of the board.
If you want to kick turn easily, if you want to play in waves, if you want to downwind, and if you are not yet comfortable with a recessed deck, or if you simply prefer to race on a flat deck board, the NSP Puma is for you.
Initially designed for beach racing, the Puma’s have evolved into very capable downwinders and flat-water boards.
Design:
• All 2020 Puma boards share the same rocker line for faster flatwater performance for the wide models.
• The slight concave in the center helps the sprinting ability of the boards.
Fin:
Our world-class Surf Race 20 is the more appropriate fin for beach racing, buoy racing and the ability to pull off consistent kick turns in the middle of a race or in Travis’ words; “It’s the fin better suited for turning and surfing.”
