Unser Testbericht zum RS

All-Round Fitness / Touring / Downwind

After years of shaping, testing, racing and creating world-class watercraft, Raaphorst took all of this cumulative knowledge into the shaping bay and what came out was the Bayonet 14.0 and Bayonet 17.1. A sleek, narrow and super-fast downwind board that worked amazing in sub-twenty knot conditions and increased top end speed in all conditions. This board does not have F.A.S.T. for 2018. As many downwind races in the 14.0 class are fixed-fin, we opted to leave F.A.S.T. off to make sure the board is as light as possible. This board features a higher bow volume, lowered deck standing area and balanced outline. The board has a balanced outline and wider tail to enhance rail-to-rail stability.

Okeanos is named after the ancient Greek god of the sea and was further inspired by the NOAA Ship “Okeanos Explorer” located in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The purpose of this ship is to systematically explore our largely unknown ocean intent on discovery and the advancement of knowledge.

This new series is focused on fitness, touring and voyaging the unknown, so thus the name was chosen. The Okeanos shares similar DNA with the RS series, however, this board is made for recreational paddling and journeying rather than racing. This board paddles with ease and is capable of maintaining a fast pace and efficient glide. The concave in the tail on the bottom helps to maintain a straighter line, higher average speed and greater glide. The nose chine in the bow softens the ride in rough waters and tracks extremely well into the wind and in cross-chop. The generous tail width and full, squared-up rails make this board extremely stable. The wide point in the front section of the board has been shifted forward which also adds to the overall stability. The board has been outfitted with numerous tie-downs and inserts to mount your cargo and accessories. Capable of running either a single fin or two thrusters (sold separately) for paddling in shallow or rocky waters and reducing the draft of the board. This also make beach landings easier and your board will sit stable and secure on the land. The Okeanos is a great fitness board, ready to take on journey and adventure.

GC+ (Glass Composite + Innegra™) which features a double wrap fiberglass composite layup and oak laminate reinforced top. These boards have been reinforced with Innegra™ in the tip, tail and rails for maximum durability and impact resistance. The board is finished with a comfortable crocodile-textured EVA deck pad, 12K carbon Weedless fin (7.0”/8.3”), FCS2 compatible thruster boxes (thrusters sold separately), EZ-Grab handle, bungee tie, leash plug, Gore-Tex™ breather vent, action camera mount on nose

All-Round / Flat-Water / Touring / Race

If you want a fast all around fitness/race board that has a bit more width for added stability then the X-12 is your board. Stability means you can paddle further with less fatigue. Stability is also the key to SIC boards winning pedigree as founder/shaper Mark Raaphorst’s design philosophy is: You are fastest when standing on your board rather than lying in the water next to it. The wave piercing bow and dual zone rocker offer low drag in “displacement mode” while in calm waters and is stable when in “planing mode” in choppier, off wind conditions. Sharp rails at the tail shear water to maximize Speed.

All-Round / Flat-Water / Touring / Race

WINNER OF THE 2013 MEN’S JOURNAL GEAR OF THE YEAR! A fast and stable fit- ness/race board that is always ready to for all excursions and exercises. This 14 foot beauty offers added stability especially for larger paddlers due to its higher volume and comfortable width. The displacement bow cuts like a knife through flat-water and chop. The flatter rocker-line keeps the board in glide mode between strokes and lets you step back onto the second phase of the rocker so you can take off like a rocket. Sharp rails at the tail shear water for unlimited high-end speed in the open range.

 Das X14 ein Raceboard, ein Touringboard, ein Board für alles! SUPer Stabil, schnell, und da fiel zum ersten mal von Testern getrennt von einander das Wort "Angenehm"! Wer nicht der absolut schnellste sein muß oder viel. ein paar Kilo auch mehr hat, dann gibt es eigentlich kein besseres Board! Ich selber paddelte einige Rennen damit und auch zum trainieren hab ich es bei unseren Windigen, Welligen See sehr sehr gerne! Aloha Mike

Open Water / Race

The FX-11.0 Future Pro is the board for tomorrow’s pros...delivered today! We took the FX design principals and scaled them down into an elite youth race board. It utilizes the same increased bow volume and forgiving rocker line as the adult models. We’ve reinforced the impact zones with bamboo on the deck and bottom as well we added 360 degrees of Innegra™ ensuring this board will take a licking and keep on ripping. It will not only be super fast but it will also last for the next sibling in line for youth racing.

Flat-Water / Race / Touring

The FX-12.6 is the result of hours of rider feedback and refinement from Lina Augaitis, Georges Cronsteadt and Sonni Honscheid. We were on a mission to create the ultimate cross-over open water race board for today’s mixed condition races. We started with the race lines of the X-Series and added more volume and rocker to the bow to chew through cross chop. Next we rounded out the rails to slice through side winds and flattened the deck for getting in and out of surf. We increased the flat stabilizing section of the bottom and then spent more hours on water tweaking until we got it right. The end result is one of the most versatile crossover boards on the market. Fast, technical and able to handle a variety of water conditions. When you can only bring one board with you to do it all, this your new best option.

Flat-Water / Race / Touring

A few years ago we set out to dominate flat-water race with the addition of the X- Series race boards. It evolved to the X Pro and the X Pro-Lite to meet the demands and feedback of our world class riders. The FX-14.0 is the next chapter in our race series. Derived from concept of the X-Series, the FX builds on those fast water lines with more bow volume, a more forgiving rocker, a flattened out deck and a more forgiving and stabilizing bottom section. The result? The fastest, most versatile race board on the planet.

WOW das lange warten auf das FX 14 Pro hat sich ausgezahlt! Liegt SUPer satt, sehr Stabil im Wasser für das es nur 25'' breit ist! Mit wenig Kraftaufwand geht es dann gleich los! Wirkt Subjektiv nicht so schnell aber das GPS sagt es ist eine Rakete! Da das Wasser vorne anders wegspritzt durch den FX Bug schaut es nicht so schnell aus wie zb. bei der X Series mit der Scharfen Bugkante!

Bei Flachwasser ist es relativ schnell am sehr Schnell und lässt sich dann easy auf einer sehr guten Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit halten! Es ist zwar nicht ganz so schnell wie zb. das X Pro Lite mit 24 breite (ungf. 0,1 - 0,2kmh) aber dafür hat es andere sehr gute Vorteile!Freu mich schon sehr auf das erste race damit!

Up wind und Seitenwellen sind sowas von easy zu paddeln! Up wind geht es durch wie ein Torpedo und die Seitenwelle läuft einfach durch ohne  viel blabla!

Downwind = Genial! Die Welle auch kleinere nimmt es einfach und schnell mit und das sehr stabil und reagiert SUPer auf Belastungssteuerung auf die Kante! Auch bei mehr wind mit Kreuz und quer wellen ist es super einfach zu handeln und das Lachen im Gesicht schreibt Bände! Es ist zwar nicht so relaxt zum downwinden wie das Ultimative Downwind Gerät "Bullet" weil das FX einfach auch 3inch schmäller ist aber für einen geübten bringt es sehr viel Spaß und Sportlichkeit mit! Perfekt für downwind Races bei nicht zu wilden Bedingungen!    

Ein perfektes Raceboard für Schwere Racer aber 80kg aufwärts!!! Sehr schmall aber trotzdem viel Volumen für die Männer oder Frauen ab 80kg auf wärts!

Aloha Mike
