Shark SUP Speed Plus 14'0 x 26" x 5" Inflatable Paddleboard

The Shark Speed Plus 14’0 × 26" × 5" is the longest and fastest inflatable race SUP in the Shark range. Built with woven drop‑stitch and 24T Carbon Rail Edge, it delivers uncompromising stiffness and efficiency for racing, endurance paddling and speed touring. The carbon nose cone and water release edge keep drag low so you can hold pace for longer.

On The Water Experience

Fast, narrow and uncompromising. At 26" wide and 5" thick, this size gives lighter and technical paddlers a connected, low-volume race feel with maximum glide.

Why This Size

Choose 14’0 × 26" × 5" if you’re chasing pure racing performance and want the narrowest, lowest-volume platform.

Construction & Tech

• 20 psi rating – higher pressure for a stiffer, race-ready feel.
• Woven drop‑stitch core – lighter and stiffer than knitted, maximising speed and efficiency.
• 24T Carbon Rail Edge – reinforced rigidity for clean response and reduced flex.
• Fusion laminated PVC – durable but lightweight skin for touring and racing.
• Welded rails – permanent seams for long-term reliability.
• Carbon pointed nose cone – slices water cleanly for maximum glide.
• Water release rail edge – sheds water for less drag at race pace.
• Kick pad – gives control for buoy turns and technical manoeuvres.
• Handles at centre, nose, tail & sides – versatile carrying and fast beach starts.
• Front & rear cargo bungees – hydration and gear space for training or endurance paddling.
• Smart‑Tec US fin box – tracks straight, easy fitting and upgrade options.
• Shark logo EVA deck pad – comfortable, grippy surface for all‑out efforts.
• Kayak seat ready – D‑rings fitted for optional seat.
• Backed by Shark’s 3‑year warranty – built to last, season after season.

Board Shape

A 14’0 race outline with a pointed carbon nose and flat rocker creates maximum glide and tracking. Width and thickness options tune the feel between outright speed and accessible stability.

Why This Shape Feels Good

It holds speed between strokes, glides further with less effort, and feels composed under race pressure or long training sessions.

FAQs

Is this a race board?
Yes — the Speed Plus 14’0 is designed for racing, but also suits endurance training and fast touring.

26" vs 28" — which should I choose?
26" is faster but narrower; 28" is more stable for distance and mixed conditions.

5" vs 6" — what’s the difference?
5" feels lower and connected; 6" adds buoyancy for heavier paddlers or rougher water.

Does it include a paddle?
No — choose your paddle separately to match your needs.
