RST | SIC Maui’s All-New Dugout Race Board

Introducing the new Rocket Ship Turbo (RST) dugout all-water raceboard, a remarkable fusion that redefines SIC Maui’s all-water race category. Inspired by the race-winning rocker of the RS series, known for its exceptional glide and manoeuvrability, the RST combines it with the unmatched rough water stability of the dugout of the Atlantis with a venturi drain. The final results deliver unbeatable all-water performance.

RST offers speed and enhanced agility in rough water and swell with a narrowed outline, rounded rails, and a narrow tail. The dugout cockpit with lowered, flatted, and broadened standing area provides stability for navigating challenging conditions. The increased bow volume and raised spine enable efficient navigation through choppy waters, while the venturi drain ensures quick water evacuation. A narrow outline with an extended bow on the bottom nose reduces drag in flat conditions.

‘We have combined the best features of the Atlantis and the RS to create the new RST. The Rocket Ship turbo is designed to perform well in rough waters as well as downwind racing. The RST is the result of years of research and development, including prototyping. We have retained some of the key merits of the RS, such as glide stability and maneuverability in the bumps, while also incorporating the downwind ability of the Atlantis into the new model. In summary, if you’re unsure of what to use for your next challenge, choose the RST – it’s a winner.’ Mark Raaphorst, SIC Maui Shaper.
