The Global Paddling Community

This year, our SUP range is growing, especially with the release of the new PAPENOO models. These can be classified as “short SUP” with a focus on speed, acceleration and maneuverability to rip off smaller waves like never before ! The initial target was to design a board as short as possible to gain in maneuverability and agility. A rectangular outline proved the right solution to keep enough hull area and volume for stability. We have also worked with a lot of attention on the glide of these boards. The shape of PAPENOO features a genuine planning hull which is both efficient and enjoyable to ride.

These are the original designs and the boards that spawned a whole new subcategory in paddle surfing! Amazingly stable and with more giddy up than any board you've tried. Period. These boards make small waves fun and good waves stellar. Dimensions and volumes can be tailored to suit your individual needs. Please contact us with questions and more information.

For those of you who aren't into the wide tail thing this is our high performance SUP offering. Flat deck with stepped rails concentrates volume where you want it (under your standing position) and not where you don't (on rails, nose or tail). A single to deep double to vee bottom generates lift and amazing speed. Increased nose and tail rockers for versatility in all conditions. Many construction options available. Dimensions and volumes can be tailored to suit your individual needs. Please contact us with questions and more information.

Taking the high aspect ratio theory and shrinking it down. These little rippers feel as close to riding a shortboard as you will find on a SUP. Like skateboarding on water. Very loose, very fast, very stable and crazy-fun to ride. A single concave entry transitions into a double-barrel vee bottom with or without a simple channel. Dimensions and volumes can be tailored to suit your individual needs.

It's a SIMSUP® under the hood but with a much sleeker outline! A wide tail creates tons of surface area under your back foot for added lift, amazing stability and quick planing. Complemented by a channel bottom for improved directional stability gives this one a very lively feel. A narrower nose makes this model versatile in all conditions. Dimensions and volumes can be tailored to suit your individual needs

The SIMSUP5 (S5) is another study in modern displacement hulls for the SUP world. A redistribution of volume and surface area allows this model to be ridden narrower than your normal board with little effect on overall stability. The parallel rail outline makes this one paddle and catch waves like it's a much longer board. Single concave entry and through the middle transitions into a channel bottom to make this model loose and fast with control! Dimensions and volumes can be tailored to suit your individual needs.

The SIMSUP ST (Split Tail) gives you all the benefits of a wide tail (built in stability, tons of lift and instant down the line speed) and more. Think two tails in one. This tail design modifies surface area giving this model a more responsive, controlled feeling through turns. A hulled entry which quickly transitions into a single concave under standing position then deep double concave to vee out the tail making this board very stable yet still allowing it to go rail to rail with ease. Three stage rocker adds a flat spot under rider's standing position which helps with paddling and stability. Also acts as a gas pedal under front foot while surfing. Dimensions and volumes can be tailored to suit your individual needs.

As fishing from a paddle board continues to evolve, the crew at Dragonfly Paddle Boards has been busy designing a board just for the hard-core angler. The “I’m here to fish” purist. Let’s call it frill-free fishing. It’s here and it’s new and here’s how we did it: Using a twelve-foot hull we added two cubic square feet of forward dry storage (insulated for cooler use) and aft-wise a small circular well (pump is optional). To keep your feet and line and fish safe, we installed three flush-mounted rail systems. You can modify the board at will by choosing from an assortment of accessories…rod holders, camera mounts, etc. The board has a length of twelve feet with a thirty inch beam and is hand-crafted of vinyl ester resin with bi-directional fabric. And, need we add, the same quality that goes into all Dragonfly Boatworks’ products, goes into yours. Count on it: Building One of a Kind, One at a Time.

A board that glides effortlessly and how we did it. Start with the graceful lines of the bow which then curve back into the paddle-dry hull (PDH) and then continue on to a slight "V" bottom. These design features gave us the right shape. When you paddle you'll notice that you're staying dry. That's because we configured a deck to keep the water shedding down the sides and not over the top. Any water that does come over the front drains off quickly. You'll find yourself using less energy to go the distance. With a weight of 45 pounds and a beam of 32 inches the board can float up to 420 pounds. Are you a hardcore fisherman? Our bow is designed to eliminate hull slap at water entry bringing you closer to fish quietly. On long paddles your feet will thank you for the comfort afforded by rubber decking. Take advantage of spots you couldn't reach in a kayak. Stand up on the 13.6 and see the water world below. Glide, paddle, fish...

Drifting back to the old days, the 11.6 is reminiscent of the early long board styles. It's a simple board without all the "stuff" and it's made in response to the many requests we get for traditional boards. We're not against adding competition stripes and/or floral decks... just ask. It bears our fine craftsmanship and a specialized platform to paddle, surf and drift.

"The 13.6 is a big board! Can you build a 10 footer?" That's what we heard from those who didn't need the floatation capabilities of the 13.6. Our design team set out to make it happen with a 10' board bearing all the cool features of the heavier board but without the weight. She'll still float 300 pounds. Expect similar construction as the 13.6 with the same 32-inch beam. The bow allows water entry for a lighter person using the same "glide factor" as the big boards. Note the "yacht" finish non-skid along with a molded-in hand grab on this model. Included is a forward and rear leash plug to secure the board when traveling. It's all the fun of the 13.6, only lighter.

The flat-decked NSP Puma boards are the most versatile ‘all-round’ raceboards of the range. Easy for any racer to paddle, with enough different widths to suit every level. The Puma features a spoon bow design that allows the board to ride up and over the bumps and waves with ease. The 14’ x 26” and 14’ x 29” carbon designs have more rocker in the front making them ideal for down-winders, waves and open ocean conditions.Target weight 13.69Kg +/- 6%
