Rooted in athlete feedback and proven performance, NSP unveils its 2026 range with one clear objective: to refine what already works, no flashy reinvention, just purposeful evolution. As a brand forged by champions and tested in real-world conditions, NSP continuously fine-tunes its boards and paddles through extensive on-water testing, precision shaping, and collaboration with world-class athletes.
From subtle rocker adjustments to construction innovations and refined underfoot feel, every detail has been rigorously validated to deliver real performance gains. These updates aren’t cosmetic, they are race-tuned enhancements made to support paddlers across all disciplines, from elite competition to first-time experiences.
The Carolina remains NSP’s most versatile all-water raceboard, now updated with refined rails and improved drainage for enhanced grip and control in choppy conditions. The new Carolina EVO features a lower volume design and reworked nose for quicker acceleration and response. Designed for lighter paddlers or those driving through upwind sections, it retains the Carolina’s trusted stability and remains equally capable in the hands of more powerful or heavier riders, preserving the all conditions versatility the Carolina is known for.
The Ninja returns for 2026 with its proven flatwater pedigree intact, trusted by athletes for its glide, efficiency, and stability across long distances. Subtle refinements to the tail and rail profiles improve flow and control, while new graphics give it a clean, modern update.
The all new Ninja EVO builds on that race winning platform with a lower volume shape and narrower nose, delivering faster acceleration and a more reactive feel. Tailored to lighter paddlers or those chasing speed in calm and upwind conditions, the EVO reduces drag without compromising stability. It is a precision tool for flatwater racing, built to slice through calm conditions with maximum efficiency.
Designed for the next generation, the Ninja Kaido adapts elite level SUP design into a 12’6” format, featuring a flat deck and optimized volume for junior racers and development programs focused on confident progression, it supports confident progression and accessibility for future champions.
Engineered for short-format performance, the Cheetah is NSP’s most aggressive sprint and technical raceboard to date. Explosive starts, fast buoy turns, and clean glide make it a podium-proven choice for racers focused on speed and precision in tight formats.
Built for surf and technical racing, the 2026 Puma is the dependable choice when conditions are unpredictable. With refined volume and a new round tail, it delivers stability, speed, and sharp control across surf, chop, and flatwater.
Bridging the gap between inflatables and world title winning hardboards, the Performance Race FSL is engineered for paddlers who travel without compromising speed. Featuring dual chamber nose volume, low drag fin box, and woven drop stitch construction, it resurfaces cleanly, maintains high speed glide, and packs down with ease.

Whether you’re refining your pump game or chasing endless runs, NSP’s 2026 foil range is your ticket to longer flights and next-level control. NSP’s new lineup is designed to keep riders flying longer, with greater efficiency and confidence.
