Raced by Mark Raaphorst to 3rd place in the 32 mile Manhattan race summer 2011.
The Hull:
The nose has prone paddleboard type characteristics. This helps with slicing through the chop. The front third of the board has a rolled V for good displacement qualities. The mid-section is fairly flat to maximize stability. And, the last third of the board has a panel V.

The Rocker:
The X-14 has a low rocker, which maximizes the waterline. During displacement a long waterline enables the highest possible hull speed.

The Deck:
The front third of the board has our trademark V spine incorporated. The mid-section has a contoured deck which gives riders the sensation that they can brace their feet against the cockpit edge.

The Rails:
The rails are full volume. It carries a rider up to 230 lbs.

The Outline:
The nose is drawn like a competition longboard, (not full but not pointy). The middle is parallel outlined and the tail comes to a small squash tail.

Dimensions:
14' x 27 1/2" x 6 1/4" thick.

The Pad:
We have a light weight 2mm EVA pad. The entire cockpit is covered. The ‘crocodile skin’ has a slight texture. It is grippy enough for full traction but not too rough as to where you can not easily walk back and forward.

Fixed fin, no steering option.

The Construction:
Lightweight is the key. 3/4 lb. density styrofoam, carbon rail stiffeners, and a cockpit section with a wood veneer composite.
