Carolina

The NSP Carolina is the winning tool for 90% of all racing conditions, making it one of the most successful and imitated boards in SUP racing history. Named after the Carolina Cup, a race known for its demanding mix of flatwater, chop, and ocean swell, the Carolina has continuously evolved, taking riders to the podium year after year.

For 2026, the Carolina range has been refined once again to deliver even greater speed, stability, and responsiveness. The bottom shape remains unchanged, preserving its signature glide and efficiency, but subtle adjustments to the rail height further reduce water intake, keeping the board lighter in messy conditions. A shortened recessed area ensures faster drainage, improving performance during buoy turns and technical sections.

A lower centre of gravity across the entire board, not just the standing area, allows racers to ride narrower widths with confidence, unlocking extra speed without sacrificing stability. Whether battling through chop, sprinting off the start, or navigating a tricky downwind section, the Carolina is built to handle it all.

With the addition of the NSP Carolina Pro Carbon EVO and fresh new graphics, the Carolina remains our most proven, versatile, and sought after race board.


Fins:

Designed in collaboration with Keith McCulloch and Mike Wazenski, the NSP 22 and 24 racing fins provide elite level tracking, efficiency and acceleration, allowing racers to maximize every stroke.

The Carolina continues to define what an all conditions race board should be, setting the standard for performance and reliability at every level of competition.

14'0" 22" Recessed deck 255 L 11.53 Kg EST
14'0" 23 1/2" Recessed deck 269 L 11.72 Kg EST
14'0" 25" Recessed deck 282 L 12.26 Kg EST

Why does the dimensions table say EST under “Weight”?

“EST” is short for “Estimated Weight”. Since all NSP Carolina Pro Carbon raceboards are hand-shaped to detail by our shapers, weight varies from one board to another within a certain variance. So to calculate a true average weight, NSP reserves the right to manufacture a certain number of boards before publishing the official (average-based) weight.

Pro Carbon Technology

Carolina Pro Carbon construction diagram

–  Cutting edge aerospace carbon fibers and ultra-light core materials are combined with our unique vacuum construction, making Pro Carbon the lightest, stiffest and fastest racing construction technology available

–  Featuring a PVC reinforced deck for integrity plus carbon rails for stiffness reducing flex and making the board ultra-responsive

–  Carbon Innegra™ reinforcement adds impact protection in the nose and tail for close quarter battles at race starts, beach race finishes and buoy turn sections

–  Pro Carbon is NSP’s most high-performance construction, developed for the most elite athletes in our sport. NSP International Team Riders like Christian AndersenTitouan Puyo, Duna Gordillo and Ty Judson and many more rider use the exact same boards in some of the most grueling races on the tour.

CARBON RAIL BANDS

By using Innegra™ Carbon in favor of “conventional” biaxial carbon, some of the most ding-prone areas on NSP raceboards are drastically reinforced without weight penalties. Ding resistance, durability and damage tolerance all increase, protecting your equipment. All recessed NSP Raceboards benefit from this construction, along with Uni-directional rail bands (on the side) and 100% biaxial carbon layups (on the deck and bottom).
