DURA-TEC construction is legendary for rugged performance at a great price. The DURA-TEC Original series of SUPs are the best performing, lightest weight entry-level SUPs on the market. With an outer polyethylene shell, similar to that of a kayak, and a high-density foam core, like those found in traditional surfboards, DURA-TEC boards provide a high level of durability with the true boardsport feel and performance of higher priced, and much more fragile, epoxy boards.
