A flat deck board suited for all paddlers, in all conditions.
Athletes who prefer a conventional shape over a recessed cockpit usually race the NSP Puma. The most versatile and user-friendly board in the NSP range, the PUMA is a gateway towards performance paddling on a recessed deck. Initially designed for beach racing, the Puma’s have evolved into very capable downwinders and flat-water boards.
An increased stability over previous models, with the same width of last year’s design, will let you come racing on top every time. Whether it’s a crowded buoy turn, a difficult beach break or a demanding sprint; stability is everything.
If you want to kick-turn easy, if you want to play in the waves, if you want to downwind and you love flat-deck race shapes, the NSP Puma is for you.
Design:
• All Puma boards share the same rocker line for faster flatwater performance for the wide models. The slight concave in the center helps the sprinting ability of the boards.
• The slight concave pulls all the way from the beginning of the rocker, right towards the tail, releasing into a slight v. The development team found this concave to drastically improve the sprinting capability of the 2020 Puma.
Fins:
Our world-class Surf Race 20 is the more appropriate fin for beach racing, buoy racing and the ability to pull off consistent kick turns in the middle of a race or in Travis’s words; “It’s the fin better suited for turning and surfing.”
