Saimaa SUP Moon 11.8 SUP package

Saimaa SUP Moon 11.8 (355x76x15cm / 11.6” x 30 x 6”, 327L, 9.5kg) is a super-sliding travel board, which is one of the flagship models of the Saimaa series. The board is made with the best and most durable materials (Fusion PVC), which allows for up to 25psi of pressure. The package is crowned with a light and stiff carbon fiber paddle and a quick-lock fin (no loose/lost parts!) and of course a three-year warranty.

• Very smooth, stiff and load-bearing touring board
• Plenty of storage space on the deck and attachments for the canoe bench
• Convenient lifting handles at the bow and stern
• Carbon fiber shaft paddle

If stand-up paddleboarding means more to you than just lounging on your home beach, the Saimaa SUP Moon is a true paddler's dream. However, the board is stable enough even for a beginner paddler, as the board is 76cm wide. For comparison, the most popular racing boards are 60-66 cm wide. Based on customer feedback, the board has been equipped with additional deck rubber bands at the back of the board, so even larger camping gear can be carried. The board also has canoe seat mounts, which also serve as convenient attachment points for transporting extra items.

The Moon's design takes into account the most important features for glide: The board has a long waterline, a sharp bow and a rectangular stern. The long waterline gives the board directional stability, the sharp bow breaks waves and the rectangular stern reduces wake and helps with directional stability, so you can take several strokes per side before the board starts to turn and you have to change sides.

When you add to these features a lightweight and stiff carbon fiber paddle that fits in your hand and a quick-attach tool-free fin, it is clear that the Moon 11.8 is the fastest board in the Saimaa series. A true hard-core enthusiast will pump an additional 25psi of pressure into the board, which will bring the frame stiffness closer to hard-frame boards and the scenery will change even more sharply in even the heaviest waves. However, it is worth remembering that the stiff and strong Fusion material works great with just 15psi of pressure. Thanks to the fin box that folds in the middle, the board is easy to roll into a backpack. Maximum load capacity 140kg.
