Features
🦈 Carbon Nose Cone
Sometimes you really can reinvent the wheel – and the patented Carbon Nose Cone on the Shark Plus board is living proof! It’s crafted from 3K Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). This material is made of woven or unidirectional carbon fibre layers bonded with epoxy resin, creating a lightweight, stiff, and exceptionally durable structure.
With its unique patented hydrodynamic dihedral shape, this innovative nose enhances speed, tracking, and efficiency on the water. Paired with Shark’s 0% rocker design, boards from the Shark Plus series slice through water with hardboard-like precision.
Shark SUPs has spent years developing and refining its nose cone design. The new hydrodynamic dihedral profile emphasizes an angled shape that improves water flow and directional stability, allowing the board to glide faster and straighter.
The Carbon Nose Cone makes longer tours easier with less fatigue, and for those looking to race, it shaves off valuable seconds. 🏁
🧱 Carbon Rail
The durable 3K carbon fibre rail edge is strategically placed along the flex zone of the board’s side rail to deliver hardboard-like stiffness. The carbon fibres are intricately woven in a diagonal twill pattern.
When integrated into the board’s construction and paired with high-pressure inflation technology, this design enhances rigidity and significantly reduces flex in the critical side rail zone.
🦈 Stiffening Spine
The Stiffening Spine, located on the underside of the board, is inspired by a single shark dermal denticle. It’s precisely placed in the center of the board to optimize structural stability, reduce flex, and greatly improve stiffness.
By focusing reinforcement on the central area, this design ensures a balanced force distribution, boosting the board’s overall performance.
🌊 Water Release Rail
The Shark Plus series features a Water Release Rail – a cutting-edge innovation designed to minimize drag and maximize performance. This rail allows water to flow cleanly off the tail of the board, reducing turbulence, increasing speed, and delivering a smoother, more efficient ride.
An ideal feature for paddlers seeking improved glide and responsiveness.
🦶 Kick Pad
The Plus series includes a grippy rear deck pad section with a diamond texture, allowing paddlers to feel the transition as they move toward the back of the board.
In addition, the Kick Pad features an integrated D-wedge, which adds extra control and drive, allowing for greater precision when executing advanced maneuvers and step-back turns.
Smart-Tec Fin
Shark SUPs has merged three popular design features into one to create a user-friendly click-in fin for beginners:
The Smart-Tec fin is easy to click into the board, making it perfect for those new to paddleboarding.
Shark SUPs patented Smart-Tec fin and fin box are also compatible with US box fin boxes, providing seasoned paddlers with a wide range of universal fin options.
The Smart-Tec fin box is designed to flex, allowing the board to be easily rolled back up for convenient storage.
Kayak Seat Attachment
Our innovative design features multi-use D-rings, allowing you to transform your paddleboard into a versatile kayak easily. Whether you’re seeking a more comfortable ride for children with a front-mounted seat, creating a tandem kayak with seats at both ends, or preferring a single seat in the middle for a sit-down paddling experience, the setup is quick and convenient.
This adaptable system sets Shark apart, offering unparalleled flexibility for those who want more from their paddleboard.
Deck Pad
The Shark SUPs deck pad delivers exceptional comfort with its premium EVA material, enhanced by the embedded Shark logo for extra grip. At the rear, the orange diamond-textured pattern ensures a distinct feel, aiding precise foot placement when stepping back on the board.

Construction
Weave Technology - DLW
The Plus range from Shark SUP features 1000 denier double-laminated weave technology, offering a lighter board with higher tensile strength, delivering enhanced stiffness, durability, and performance. The construction utilises 1000 denier woven fabric as the substrate, which is expertly bonded and reinforced with a premium double-layer laminate, creating a robust structure capable of withstanding up to 20 PSI of pressure.
Why is Woven Fabric Lighter than Knitted Fabric (Fusion)?
The ‘weave’ of woven fabric not only creates high tensile strength, making the board stiffer, but the weave is also flatter. This flatness reduces the bumps for the laminate to fill, minimising the amount of laminate used. Since the laminate significantly contributes to weight (which is why double-glued boards are considerably heavier, as they include laminate, glue, and another laminate layer), woven fabric effectively reduces overall weight.
Triple Rail Edge with Welded Rail Technology
The Shark SUP’s triple rail brings numerous design advancements. When combined with all the other Shark SUP’s Tec innovations, the paddling experience becomes incredible. The triple rail edge on Shark SUP’s is integrated with welded rail technology.
What Does This Mean?
On Shark SUP’s, the triple rail edge design (the top and bottom of the board) extends around to the side rail, almost touching. The top and bottom sheets (top and bottom of the board) are then heat-welded together with the first rail edge (no glue is used in this process). This rounded connection on the side rail significantly increases stiffness, reduces flex, and optimises rigidity. It also creates a C curve, allowing the board to sit lower in the water, enhancing its performance, which is especially noticeable in windy conditions.
To enhance the durability of the rail edge, the process is completed by using environmentally safe glue (toluene-free) to bond a 1000-denier rail edge over the welded rail.
Why Is a Rail Edge Glued Over the Welded Rail?
The welded rail creates a bond that cannot come undone through seam failure due to heat (for example, on a hot day). However, the weld only bonds the first rail edge of the board. To further protect the edge of the board, a second rail is added. To protect it to an even higher level, the rail is made from 1000 denier substrate. By using this high-quality substrate, the rail edge and board gains additional stiffness and reduced flex.
Refined Nose
The refined nose of Shark SUP’s features a carefully crafted curved shape. This design not only drives powerfully through the water, enhancing performance and speed, but also allows wind to flow over the nose effortlessly, reducing drag and enabling the board to cut through the water with minimal resistance. Simultaneously, the water flows smoothly around the nose, reducing turbulence and increasing stability.
This streamlined design maximises the board’s ability to glide effortlessly over the water’s surface, offering a perfect balance of speed, agility, and control.
Flat Rocker
The Shark team of riders and designers have delved into the needs of board shape to the highest ‘geek’ levels, testing multiple board shapes on the water to determine what provides the best glide on flat waters, lakes, rivers, and seas.
The 0% rocker offers a significant performance boost for longboard paddling and enhances the ride of performance all-around boards, touring boards, and racing boards. This technological advancement delivers many benefits for an evolved paddling experience.
The 0% rocker creates more glide by utilising the full length of the board. It also improves direction, as the refined nose stays at the waterline, aiding in water displacement. Additionally, it almost eliminates drag from head-on wind. The combination of the 0% rocker, refined nose, and triple rail edge design results in an organic shape that allows wind and water to flow smoothly over the board, making it less affected by wind.
The Shark refined nose and flat rocker design provide unmatched streamlined power and reduced drag, making our boards faster and more performance-driven.
20 PSI Construction
Shark SUP’s boards are designed to inflate to 20 PSI, ensuring premium performance and stability with minimal flex. This technology is particularly important for riders, especially when using longer boards with a 5” thickness, as it offers enhanced stability. Additionally, the 20 PSI construction serves as a clear quality indicator for consumers, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to high standards.
