Description
The Shark Speed Plus 14’0 × 24″ × 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 × 24″ × 5″ if you’re chasing pure racing performance and want the narrowest, lowest-volume platform.
Construction & Tech

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.
Where It Shines
- SUP racing (technical and distance)
