Just received my SIC Maui Bullet 12'6 Single Carbon Composite. This is a demo board that I going to be available for demo in Portugal.

Really beautiful board with great graphics. The board is so light that you can easily pick it with one hand and raise it above your head. I've ordered the 12'6 since almost everybody here rides and competes with 12'6 but I'm already looking to see if I can get a 14'.

I've tried the board in glass conditions and it was a great training for a race we're having this weekend. When I finished the training and with the tide dropping I caught some clean small waves and had a blast, turning it easily despite its size.

Can't wait for a good downwind day!!!

Here's a few pics of the board:

i have heard the new 12'6 bullets are very good. that came from someone who is involved with another brand/boards

Thanks for the pictures.. Great looking board..

The new 14 V2's are from what I understand a 14 version of the 12'6".
This means that they have a flatter rocker than the original 14 bullett making them much more user friendly in marginal conditions.
I've got a demo organised of one of the Maui built hollow moulded 14 V3's in the next few days. :) :) :)
The difference between production 14 V2 and Maui built V3 is the V2 is slightly wider at 27.25" vs the Maui built V3 26.75", also the production V2 has a foam core and the Maui built V3 is hollow moulded, the V2 is approx 12.5kg whereas the V3 is approx 10.5kg.
I'm really excited to get the demo as I reckon these new version SIC will work very well in Australian conditions.

Also, check out the SIC Maui website and go to the custom order link. It's just been updated and has loads of great pics of custom boards and tech info on the specs and process.

Souselas,
I guess the Aussies call someone as you a "lucky bastard"
My SIC Ohana is also growing, albeit very slowly.
The youngest is the (still unused) Bullet 12 TWC 13 kg for inland downwinder with very steep bumps.
Do you have near Porto a good DW spot for a downwinder tourist?

Hi Paddlezz.

We have excellent downwind conditions here, especially from June to August (summer). It's a little bit like the downwind season in Maui. In the afternoon we have prevailing strong North to Northwest winds (we call it the "Nortada") and swell with the same direction. Our coast is facing west. So most of the times you can SUP surf in the morning and downwind in the afternoon.

And we are expending to offer organized SUP tours (surf, touring, downwind, rentals) to visitors and we were recently featured in a 8 page story in SUP Mag Germany and there will be more articles about that very soon in several magazines. I also work with Starboard, so I only have top quality gear available

You can check my website (supnorte.com/) or email me at info@supnorte.com

And here´s a picture of Sean Poynter doing his thing when he visited us in November

Gorgeous looking board. I want one.

Starboard - look at the graphics and livery. That is how grown-ups do it.

Is there any difference between this model tear and the prior year (red rails/snow camp pad)?

Thx!

Such a nice board!!! Can't wait to see the 14 x 27.25" when they hit Australia!!!

shouldn't be too long now
