Duotone Raven Bamboo - Rigid Touring Board

The Duotone Raven Bamboo —

Designed for those who want to get away from it all – whether it’s exploring miles of coastline, lakes, channels or rivers – the RAVEN glides effortlessly into new territories with an uninterrupted paddle stroke. Benefiting from the development of our raceboards, the RAVEN allows you to cover maximum distance with minimum effort, thanks to a highly efficient rocker line based on the Strike. The slightly recessed deck, wide tail and high apex rails maintain the super stable ride, allowing you to track easily in both flat water and chop.

One shape (12'6" × 28.5") is available in two construction options: Our new optical highlight, the precious RAVEN Bamboo Edition.

Perfect for riders looking for a premium composite SUP board for wave riding, touring, cruising and high-performance paddleboarding.

Tech Features

CARGO EXPANDER SYSTEM: 4-point flat bungee system for easy and secure storage - everything stays where it should with these bungees.
FULL CUSTOM BAMBOO TECHNOLOGY: The FULL CUSTOM BAMBOO TECHNOLOGY is a full custom technology which is one hundred percent identical to high-end custom made boards. Instead of using a mould to bring the EPS foam core into its final shape each EPS block gets CNC milled. This ensures maximum precision and saves weight. Same as with high-end custom board makers the major advantage lays in the processing. We call this SINGLE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY and it is the key to our industry-leading weight-strength ratio. Instead of combining working steps to save time and money every single step follows its individual process. So for example instead of joining the PVC sandwich with the EPS core in a single shot we vacuum-bag the top and bottom PVC shields with the EPS core separately. For all BAMBOO boards we use our most sophisticated layup which consists of more than 20 individual parts and components. The bamboo sandwich on the top distributes peak loads evenly and further extends the overall durability again. Last but not least even every single board size has an individual layup. That’s the final stage of individualization in construction. Yet all of this is achieved without any sacrifice in durability since we always follow our core motto LIGHT DONE RIGHT.
Grab Handle: Ensures a secure grip and comfort when carrying your board. The handle features a double-sided design, so you can hold it from either side.
Duo Structure Pads: The 4 mm thick EVA pads offer the best balance between cushioning/comfort and grip/control. The center section features our signature diamond pattern, which ensures symmetrical grip in all directions. The heat-pressed process protects the EVA against abrasion, ensuring maximum durability. The rear section features a longitudinal cord-groove pattern that provides maximum lateral grip for your back foot, even during the most radical turns. We exclusively select EVA colors that don’t look dirty even after use and won’t fade even after hours in the sun.
EVA KICK-PAD: For better grip and foot positioning in pivot turns. Prevents foot from slipping outside of the pad area during swift turns.
Tail Design: The diamond tail shape allows for a super clean water release. Combined with the straight outline this results in lowest drag and maximum paddle efficiency.
Rail Shape: > Extra volume in the rails with a high apex ensures a dry and stable ride for you and your luggage.> Sharp rail edges from centre to tail for extra stability and release.
Outline: > Narrow racing style nose for smooth water flow.> Narrower mid section with stretched and fairly straight outline for maximum paddle efficiency.
Bottom Shape: Keel into mono-concave with bevels (front to back).> In the front the keel minimize water resistance, resulting in improved straight-line stability and speeds, a smoother ride in choppy waters and maximum efficient> The mono-concave with bevels offers minimum resistance for maximum gliding performance and speed.
Rocker Line: Narrow racing style nose for smooth water flow.
