Pranchas Stand Up Paddle

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

Papenoo SUP board includes:
– Pads
– 4x Fins

Lighting fast accelerations, maximum carving, tight turns off the lip and re-entry… The MADEIRO boards are exceptionally lively under your feet to get the most out of every wave. These are the boards of our pro-team and are developed by our best riders.
Fast and easy to get moving when paddling, the take-off is super quick with instant acceleration down to the bottom turn with a very intuitive carving. These boards offer a perfect longitudinal balance so that you can really focus on the wave instead of worrying with the board.
No need to force or move your feet around to turn the board: everything is natural. It becomes easier to follow the progression of the wave and carve your lines.
The smaller sizes (< 8’0”) are genuine high performance surf boards, very well balanced and especially responsive to perform the most explosive surf.
The middle sizes (8’0”, 8’3”) offer a very dynamic behavior with enough volume to let all types of riders express themselves with some progressive and committed surf.
The larger sizes (8’5”, 8’8”) are very accessible wave boards with a lot of stability. They remain very responsive in the waves and offer a lot of possibilities for the heavier riders or those less experimented.

All boards come with 5 Futures fin boxes so they can be set both as Thruster or Quattro.

The deck is built from layers of glass, bamboo and some bi-axial carbon fabrics. The bottom features an HD foam sandwich with glass layers and some bi-axial carbon fabrics. The brushed carbon finish ensures the weight remains minimal.

This construction brings an impressive resistance to the MADEIRO range combined with absolute light weight. These boards feature an amazing strength to weight ratio and remain amongst the highest performing and lightest boards on the market.

For the last few years the trend has been shifting towards riding shorter and shorter boards which have got wider to maintain both volume and stability. But is this the only trend to follow?

Surfing offers such a diversity of shapes so why not adopt the longboard style for SUP boards? Not only is this the original shape which inspired the first and early SUP boards, but it also offers some noticeable advantages.
Length offers both speed and glide, especially when combined to a narrower width, and this greatly improves the take-off. The moderate beam also ensures the board is easy to set on the rail, providing a nice acceleration once on the wave.
The rocker of the board has received a lot of attention to make sure the board glides well using her bottom but also remains maneuverable when it’s being steered from the back when surfing. The NOOSA is particularly impressive in its maneuverability and ease of use when you consider its actual length.

The surprising aspect of this shape is that it will let you surf small waves thanks to its genuine speed, but also some larger ones since you can dig the rail and stay in complete control. Take-off on larger waves is also made easier by its paddling speed.

This board has a great gliding feel and will let you perform some nose tricks with its timeless longboard look.

Using its carbon technology to achieve an ultra light weight, it offers unique sensations and will let you make the most of all the waves you’ll find on your way.
