Organisers of the 2012 International Surfing Association (ISA) World Standup Paddle and
Paddleboard Championships have selected the NSP 12’6” Race board as the board of choice for athletes competing in the events’ open water Standup Paddle (SUP) races. The championships, the ISA’s first world title event, will be held from February 20 to 25 in Miraflores, Peru.

Championship sponsors and worldwide manufacturer and distributor of the popular SUPs, Global
Surf Industries (GSI), see the choosing of the NSP product on such a world stage as the ultimate endorsement.

“The NSP 12’6 Race boards are a real dynamic board and are built to paddle fast,” said
GSI Managing Director Mark Kelly.

“As the premier SUP company worldwide, GSI were approached by organisers knowing they
could depend upon us to provide the necessary equipment required at that elite
level.”

And the level of action is expected to be hot, befitting the event's world title status. The ISA anticipate the participation of up to 20 national SUP teams and individuals (approximately 200 competitors) from around the globe, including Australia, USA, Hawaii, Tahiti, France, South Africa and Chinese Taipei.

Participating athletes will battle it out for team and individual events throughout the
championships, competing for gold, silver, copper and bronze medal honours. Included in the Australian team is one of the best all round watermen on the planet, none other than 10-times Molokai-to-Oahu Paddleboard champion, Jamie Mitchell.

The 2012 ISA World Standup Paddle and Paddleboard Championships run from February 20 to
25 in Miraflores, Peru.

The NSP 12’6 and 14’0 Race SUPs are available from selected surfboard stockists
throughout Australia or available online at www.surfindustries.com. RRP from $1595.00

About The NSP Race SUP range

Great for downwinders, racing, fitness, training and cruising the NSP Race SUP range is designed for speed with long glide and have proven to be super fast in all conditions.

The 12'6" is a training and recreational race hull. The hull shares its DNA with our 14' racer. The entry cleanly displaces the surface water and transitions to a flat bottom. The bottom is
extremely hard off the rails for clean release of surface tension, low drag and quick planing. NSP durability makes the 12'6 a good value too. As a daily trainer, these long boards take a lot of abuse going to and from the water and we know it. 10 years of refining our construction methods means your investment in the NSP 12'6 is a win-win proposition. The weight of this board is approximately 14.5kg/32lbs.

The 14'0 is our fastest recreational racer with a displacement entry to flat bottom design ending in a pintail with crisp hard rails providing clean release and easy planing. This board is not
only moves, but with the volume at 266 ltr it can be used by anyone that wants to cover some distance fast for training or racing. The 12" keel fin is designed for minimum resistance and the deck pad is lightly inset to increase stability. This is a fun, fast way to keep in shape. The weight of this board is approximately 15.7kg/34.5lbs.
