The RS has become a huge favorite amongst paddlers of nearly all levels and garnering the prestigious SUPConnect “Race Board of The Year” award in both 2018 and 2019.

The RS has now been fine tuned and made even faster and stronger. The refinements are slight but the improvement to top-end speed is significant. The nose has been pulled in slightly from the wide point giving it even better into-the-wind performance, acceleration and top-end speed. The volume from the rails has been stacked back into the top deck and shaped into a higher center peak to sheer water and pop up more quickly when the nose punches through chop. The nose of the 14’0” was lowered by approximately 1/4”/635 cm and the tail lowered by 1/2”/1.27cm to optimize the waterline while the rocker line of the 12’6” remains unchanged based on the rider feedback. The cockpit has been lowered slightly.

The all new Super Fly (SF) construction has been a massive leap forward in durability, stiffness and overall performance. With a full PVC wrapped core to give the board tremendous impact resistance with its tip-to-tail / 360-degree rail-to-rail wrap few boards can compare.

The RS (SF) 14" x 21.5" comes with:
-  Super Fly Construction (SF): Full PVC Sandwich with Carbon wrapping the EPS core (top, bottom, 360 degree rails),
-  Step-Channel Bottom,
-  12K carbon Weedless fin (8.3”),
-  EZ-Grab handle,
-  Race handles (2),
-  Bungee tie downs,
-  Leash plug,
-  Gore-Tex™ breather vent,
-  Action camera mount on nose,

Ideal user weight: 190 lbs / 86.2 kg

Unser Testbericht zum RS 

Das Beste Raceboard für alle Bedingungen, flatwater, Upwind, downwind... Hatte noch nie so ein Stabiles Raceboard in 21,5 oder 23, auch bei Seitenwellen! Durch mehr Stabilität mehr Power auf das Paddeln und somit schneller. Man kann sich voll auf das Paddeln konzentrieren und nicht auf die Balance. 

 SIC RS Aktion 2019 solange der Vorrat reicht!

14x21,5 & 14x28 are the last ones.

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
