In less than an hour of practise majority of people become a confident water rider.

Designed for the toughest conditions

The SL3 doesn’t just handle the chop and swell, it turns those conditions into a playground for thrill seekers. Hydrofoils lift you above the short wind chop and the reduced drag allows you to pierce over and down swell. 

Adding to the throttle and additional motor power all SL3s come standard with free spinning propellers.

 

A guaranteed thrill for experienced riders.
