This complete race starter pack contains EVERYTHING you need to get on the water. The Story Elite is an inflatable race Stand Up Paddle (SUP) board designed for calm water and waves up to 40 cm.
The Story Elite SUP is recommended for experienced SUP surfers who want less resistance in the water and the ability to glide effortlessly through the water surface. However, this Elite SUP is also used by beginners, especially children. The reason is that the narrow SUP makes it easy to reach the paddle out over the edge and into the water. People who experience challenges with a too-wide board, where it can be difficult to get the paddle out over the edge without standing unevenly or hitting the SUP edge, will avoid this with the Elite SUP model. This is the advantage of this SUP board shape, which is incredibly narrow and light but also extremely stable, providing full control.
The inflatable board with double rails makes the board very stable and stiff, which supports stability and makes it easy to use. The SUP is long and narrow and can achieve high speeds. Race SUPs like this are used for longer trips and training, but they can also be used for fun and play with the family. The full potential of the race board is achieved on flat water in the sea or on lakes.
In this complete SUP package, you get the SUP board and fin, paddle, leash, pump, and spacious bag. Race SUPs are long and narrow boards with pointed noses. The shape is necessary to achieve high speed and low resistance in the water for a smooth glide. With a width of just 25" (64 cm) and a pointed nose, the Story Elite cuts easily and elegantly through the water. The board's length of 14 feet makes it highly stable in its direction, and the double rail construction increases stiffness, resulting in a responsive board.
The Story Elite SUP is built with speed, strength, and stiffness in mind. The board is constructed with so-called double PVC plastic rails (sides). The sides consist of a mandatory inner PVC layer that seals the board's top and bottom, followed by a wider outer layer that strengthens the seal and stiffens the construction. The sides of a double rail SUP like this can withstand impacts and scratches without puncturing. Additionally, the board holds air better (often for several months if stored in the shade). Safety on the water is great, and the risk of puncture is low. A towing eye is mounted on the front if you need rescue.
With its reinforced sidewall structure, Story Elite can handle an incredibly high pressure. We recommend pumping your SUP to the maximum limit so that the board is as stiff as possible. It is under extremely high pressure that the board shows its full potential. You should not be afraid to pump the board too much; it can handle much more than you think.
The fin on Story Elite is a real SUP fin. It is deep and directionally stable but with a lot of rake (backward tilt) to soften turns. The fin is centrally located and without speed-reducing side fins. The fin fits into a US fin box where the location can be adjusted forward and backward to make the board more directionally stable or lively. You also have the option to mount a fin of your choice.
The SUP package includes a three-piece aluminum paddle with a lightweight offset and therefore an effective attack angle in the water. The blade is made of hard plastic. It can be easily disassembled so it does not take up much space in the bag or car. The paddle can be adjusted in height with a quick release system. The package also includes a safety leash so the board does not drift away from you when you fall in the water. The pump is a fast double action pump that blows air both when you pull the handle up and push it down. The whole thing can be stored in the spacious carry bag.
