The F-14 is fast, light, maneuverable and easy to handle.

Sometimes less is more:
If you’ve been considering buying a point to point, open ocean or race SUP and were concerned that it would be too large or unwieldy for you, the F14 is your board. If you are a lighter weight looking for a shorter design that won’t compromise speed, the F14 is a perfect choice.

In most competitions, the F14 can be raced either in the Stock division as a fixed fin entry or in the Open Class as a steering rudder entry. If you want a fast, fun, manageable point to point board and want the possibility to enter any 14’ class, the F14 is for you!

The Hull:
The entry and mid section are single concave with 2 flat side panels moving into a double concave with some panel V in the tail. The thought behind the light concave is to enhance the gliding ability of the board. It connects easily from trough to trough in open ocean conditions. The bottom contours and the two side panels make for a stable ride.

The Rocker:
The nose entry is subtle, but it has enough lift for a good drop in rough water. For its size it has an effectively long waterline and so in the flats it glides well. Mid-section is fairly flat and it finishes with a gradual tail rocker.

The Deck:
We've incorporated our trademark V panel bow into the the design once again. Its purpose is to exit clean and straight up when submarining into an upcoming swell. The deck cockpit is dished out to increase foot comfort and stability.

The Volume:
The nose is thin. In a side breeze the windage surface is minimum. The thickness in the mid section is 5". The full volume tail is 3" thick. The board's best potentials are met when riders are 195 Lbs. or less.

The Rails:
The under tuck is medium soft for side to side forgiveness and general surfing feel. The hard edges in the tail increase water release and increase planing speed. The general rail thickness is beefy and prevent water from sloshing onto the deck.

The Steering:
All boards are always made with a fin box, internal cable housing and a rudder post.

Therefore, steering is optional. For a board with our Active Steering System (A.S.S.), we will rig it with steel cable, foot pedal and a rudder (see below for additional cost).

The internal cable housing is plumbed for both goofy or regular footers but ultimately rigged to rider's choice of side (goofy is right, regular is left side). If the A.S.S. is not chosen, a normal surf or sailboard fin can be used in the Çhinook style finbox. Changing the system is easy for the layman and does not require any tools. This feature also makes it more resale-friendly. The rudder is a molded 9 1/4” spitfire type (straight up and down) design. It has a foil for medium speed (5 to 15 MPH) efficiency.
Cables are tension adjustable with a turnbuckle in the rear.
All hardware is stainless steel and molded carbon.

Colors:
All bottoms are white. Deck and EVA pad color choices are found in the Selector page on our website. Two-tone colors and fade jobs are done at an added cost.

Options:
Two-tone color: $150 • Fade job: $50 • Internal Storage Hatch: $100
Lightweight carbon Spitfire model 9” fin: $60
