FUTURA
The Next Line Forward
FUTURA is built on a simple premise: the future of raceboard design isn’t invented from scratch—it’s refined from what already works.

DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the modernist principles that shaped the Futura philosophy—where clarity, geometry, and function define form—this board strips everything down to its essentials.
No excess. No distraction. Only speed.

NOTE Board in slideshow is a prototype color way.
Production FUTURA will NOT have a black colored tail.
It will also have a different tail pad A Hybrid Evolution FUTURA represents a deliberate blend of past and present: Proven raceboard outlines grounded in traditional displacement design Modern hull engineering optimized for glide, acceleration, and efficiency Minimal, geometric aesthetics that reflect precision and control Every detail is intentional. Every line has purpose. Flatwater Speed. All-Water Range.
FUTURA is designed as a true hybrid raceboard—bridging the gap between flatwater efficiency and all-water versatility without compromise.
While it delivers the clean glide and low-drag characteristics expected from a dedicated flatwater board, its design extends well beyond those boundaries:
Excels in flatwater to mild chop and light bump
Efficiently slices up wind and chases light bump downwind Maintains predictable stability when conditions become variable
Feels light on the shoulders over long distances
Responsive enough and stable off the tail to perform in technical race environments and straight line sprint racing
This is a board built for range—not restriction.
For many paddlers, FUTURA becomes the default choice across most race conditions, eliminating the need to over-specialize.
Designed with Discipline From SUP shaper / Designer Dave Boehne, FUTURA is built on the idea that simplicity—when executed correctly—is timeless.
Narrow nose outline with clean entry lines for efficient water displacement
Refined hull contours to reduce drag through each phase of the stroke with a simple and carefully placed single concave that extends out the tail
Balanced stability that comes from bottom design, not added volume
Mild dugout depth for control and stability This is performance shaped through restraint.
Performance Without Noise FUTURA doesn’t rely on exaggerated features or un needed volume.
Instead, it compresses decades of raceboard evolution into a more refined platform—one that feels familiar underfoot, yet distinctly faster.
Smooth, uninterrupted glide
Responsive acceleration
Confidence-driven stability
Efficiency that compounds over distance
The Future, Refined This isn’t a departure from tradition—it is natural progression.
FUTURA is what happens when legacy design is distilled, modernized, and pushed forward with intent.
Built from what worked.
Refined for what’s next.
Shaping the future of SUP.
