STAND
UP
PADDLING
One of the fastest growing segments of paddlesports, every day more and more people
around the world are hopping on stand up boards and heading out to enjoy the water. From
fitness to family fun, from surfing waves to racing long distance, stand up has a broad appeal
for anyone with access to lakes, rivers, or oceans.
SUP involves standing on a large, wide board and paddling with a long, one-bladed paddle
to propel oneself forward and turn the board when necessary. SUP offers enthusiasts an
excellent core workout and the sport has grown in popularity among fitness fans with access
to safe waters.
Some surfers have converted to SUP because of its versatility. Stand up paddle boarding
offers surfers the ability to catch more waves in a set, as well as have a better view of incoming
sets. Original stand up boards were made like a surfboard, with epoxy resin and fiberglass
around foam core. However, many companies are coming out with rotomolded plastic and
inflatable boards to offer more durable options.

Boards that have been created with all the difficulties one has to deal with
on whitewaters in mind. Those boards are stronger, wider so they are
stable, and shaped so they can go over currents, eddies and difficulties.
STARBOARD | 9’6”x36” STREAM
Stable and progressive, a board that takes a first timer from navigating
basic class 1 and 2 rapids to the ultimate in whitewater and river running
performance. • A slightly tucked in outline similar to the Atlas combined
with the 9’6” length holds good ground speed, while being small enough
to turn quickly.• 36” is the widest in the range for riders up to 105kg with
the highest stability to cope with choppy water and big drops. • Available
in Deluxe Technology.

Soul | X
Boarder Cross. River Cross. Cross Training. Crossover = X! Not everyone
wants to run class IV on a paddleboard, or be restricted to park and play.
The X is for the river paddler looking to do it all. Slalom training, boarder
cross racing, river running zipping all over the place, hitting every eddy,
pivoting behind every rock, and catching every wave. A day later, a 5-mile
downriver cross training run through easy whitewater. This is the magic of X.
A clean fluid rocker sweep, combined with a low volume but wide tail means
that you can pivot this board with stability through gates, blast onto your
favorite wave, and still carry the speed needed to win your river festival.

Soul | Firestorm
There are several key innovations and improvements over the previous
designs that make this board really stand out. An almost 20% reduction
in weight compared to other plastic boards out there, bottom mounted
flip-up skeg, two adjustable stomp hooks for sticking drops, and access to
the inside for storage. Plastic not only allows us to design more complex
shapes (unlike inflatables which do not) but it also slides over rocks so
you can triple your success rate when running drops. The gradual smooth
rocker allows the board to surf and spin on waves, while the generous
tail volume helps landing even complex drops. Light and performing - this
board is a game changer.

AIRBOARD | TWISTER
It’s the SUP made for waves. Short and very twistable. The large area of
the deck pad offers enough space to stand securely and therefore this SUP
is a lot of fun to surf short river- or artificial waves. There are two additional
handles attached to the sides, so the twister can also be used lying down
as on a body-board or in kneeling position. The wide kick-pad help to keep
balance when doing cool tricks on the wave.

Soul | Jibber
If there was a way to have “street cred” on a paddleboard, this would be
it. This machine is all “park ‘n play” (unless you’re a ninja). Blasting pourovers, spinning in wave holes, or slashing the lip on dynamic river waves,
on this you’re going to jib yourself silly. The continuous curved outline
and rocker working together means it responds well to standard surfing
techniques, carving with fluidity and precision. But the width is carried
through the ends, keeping it nice and stable despite only being 7′ long.

Ocean Pro
HIGH-END
Developed by Eric Terrien, the OCEAN PRO SUP paddle
was designed to combine comfort, control and performance
in the ocean environment. The OCEAN PRO is flawlessly
efficient in raw water conditions, with a huge potential for
accelerating in the bumps in downwind conditions, optimal
control in crosswinds and choppy water ; it is very comfortable
to face headwinds. Thanks to all its qualities, the OCEAN
PRO is also remarkable in technical races, facilitating
the acceleration at the buoys, the wave handing and the
passage of foams as well as the control of the board in
chops created by the competitors. The OCEAN PRO is fitted
with an oval shaft enabling easier tack changing moves.
Ty Warp is proud to launch its first SUP line in 2014
introducing power bow shaft technology. The positive blade
angle is achieved by a low bend offering immediate power
delivery. Our entire SUP models feature our signature
ovalized shaft and an ergonomic T-grip for perfect handling
and effortless use. Ty Warp kicks off its line with a foam core
blade and an innovative shape for long distance SUP as well
as with a race paddle tested by the pros.

After nearly two years of development in cooperation with

convinced that the ergonomics of the existing straight shafts
was not right and a lot of energy put in strokes was wasted.

Our WAVE straight blade shape is designed for all
