Shark SUPs Venture Plus 12'6 x 30" x 5" Paddleboard
Venture Plus 12'6
The Venture Plus 12’6" x 30" x 5" is expertly crafted for lighter riders seeking a board that excels on long water adventures with more stability. With a 30" width, shorter riders can enjoy a natural ‘straight down paddle stroke,’ minimizing the need for over-reaching and making extended paddling sessions more comfortable and efficient. This well-thought-out design reduces drag, enhances glide, and alleviates the fatigue that often comes from using an oversized board.
The 5" thickness ensures that lighter riders sit just at the waterline, preventing the buoyancy issues that can be tricky on windy days. A centrally located handle makes the board easy to carry, providing a convenient grip for shorter riders, while the thickness allows for a comfortable under-the-arm fit. The board is optimized for lighter riders but its speed and performance will also appeal to taller paddlers as they build their skills.
The Venture range includes two series: the Flow and Plus, both designed for riders looking to cover greater distances with a focus on straight-line tracking. These boards are perfect for those seeking long days of paddling and exploration on the water.
Available in multiple sizes – 12’6", 14’0", and a 15’2" tandem option – the Venture range offers various widths and thicknesses to ensure the perfect fit for any rider’s height and weight.
The Venture Plus series takes paddleboard design to the next level, building on the Shark Flow series with advanced technology.
Features:
• Constructed from high-density, 1000-denier, double-laminated woven drop stitch, along with a high-performance carbon-welded triple rail edge and a stiffening spine, these boards inflate to 20 PSI. This construction results in a 25% reduction in flex, providing superior performance and stability on the water.
• Designed with versatility in mind, the Venture features a multi-use D-ring configuration that allows for kayak seat attachments at the front, back, and middle of the board. Additionally, it offers the option to expand the cargo area and add extra portage handles when needed.
• The Venture Plus also features a patented Carbon Nose Cone, paired with a flat rocker design, water release rail, and kickpad for mastering step-back turns and advanced maneuvers. These elements work together to deliver smooth and precise forward motion, enhancing glide and speed as you paddle.
• The patented Smart-Tec fin and finbox system ensure easy setup for beginners – simply ‘click’ and go. As skills progress, the system allows for a wide range of universal (US) fin options, adding flexibility and performance. Plus, the fin is designed for easy roll-up storage, making it a hassle-free addition to your paddleboarding gear.
