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.

The NSP 20, 22 and 24 racing fins are designed to deliver top performance: expect excellent tracking, stability, efficiency, speed and easy acceleration.

A predominantly flat-water weapon that excels in chop and small bumps. The Ninjas are all about efficiency, saving the energy riders need for longer runs.
Originally a flat-water racer designed to cope with disruptive chop, the Ninja has evolved into a flat-water board that can handle (mild) sea conditions. Nose diving is minimized by an increase in volume and straight outlines for better flow. The improved cockpit design keeps out more water – a reinforced and heightened rail lip shields the cockpit from more splash water and the reduced length of the recessed area collects less water in buoy turns.
A subtle shift of the four AVS pods (Accelerator Vacuum System) towards the rocker increases the AVS performance of the new Ninja and the recessed area now drains more effectively as well.
A lower center of gravity helps stability, allowing the design team to reduce the width of the 21” model, creating a Ninja with a width of just 20”. The NSP Ninja gives paddlers an incredibly fast flatwater weapon, but the best part is that the 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 21” up to widths of 24” as well.
Design:
• Recessed deck for a low center of gravity, adding stability.
• Wider tail for high-performance and stable buoy turns without collecting wash. • 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.

Expect excellent tracking, stability, efficiency, speed and easy acceleration with the Race 22 and 24 fins.

A flat deck board suited for all paddlers, in all conditions.
Athletes who prefer a conventional shape over a recessed cockpit race the NSP Puma. The most versatile and user-friendly board in the NSP range, the PUMA Pro Carbon shares its bottom and rocker line with the latest Carolina, improving stability at equal width and significant improvements in speed.
Originally designed for beach racing, the Puma has evolved into a very capable downwind- and flat-water board.
Increased stability over previous models, with the same width as last year’s design, will let you come racing on top every time. Whether it’s a crowded buoy turn, a difficult beach break, or a demanding sprint; stability is everything.
If you want to kick-turn easy, if you want to play in the waves, if you want to downwind and you love flat-deck race shapes, the NSP Puma is for you.
Design:
The Puma boards share a rocker line with the latest and greatest Carolina Pro Carbon race board, giving racers that extra stability and speed that will get you to the finish faster.
Puma Pro Carbon Fins:
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’s words; “It’s the fin better suited for turning and surfing.”
