Compare

Chasing Adventure or Racing for Speed?

At Shark SUPs, we set out to create the ultimate race board, the Speed+, and the ultimate touring boards, the Venture+.
For race boards, our goal was to produce the stiffest inflatable race board on the market while addressing the specific needs of lighter riders by designing a 5″ thick board that isn’t overly buoyant. We also wanted a race board capable of handling fast touring and carrying cargo for long days on the water.
For touring boards, we aimed to create a design that could be loaded with gear for extended adventures, catering to riders of all heights and weights.
The Speed+ and the Venture+ share some similar features but also have key differences that set them apart.

Let us help you choose the perfect board for your needs, whether your chasing speed or embarking on a long-distance journey. The table below will help break down the details.
