2022 Naish Inflatable 14' x 27" Maliko Light Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board
2022 Naish Inflatable 14' x 27" Maliko Light Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board, The 2022 Naish Maliko Light 14 x 27 inflatable paddle boards have the same outline as the Maliko Fusion's, but the Maliko Light's feature single-layer construction with a carbon deck and bottom stringer and utilize a single-layer dropstitch material. This construction reduces weight, but increases puncture resistance, durability, and to a degree, overall stiffness, making the Maliko Light a super light weight board and a better choice only for lighter riders. Who's it for? Serious light weight racers looking to win. What does it do? One of the stiffest and fastest inflatable boards yet; you'll go faster than you have ever experienced. Why is it unique? The Maliko was the first inflatable ever built with wide carbon stringers along the top and bottom, it offers unmatched stiffness throughout the entire board and the smoothest bottom of any inflatable on the market. 2022 Naish Inflatable 14'0 x 27 Maliko Light The key element in this board is stiffness. Naish's construction allows for a high inflation pressure of up to 21 PSI. This, along with the wide carbon stringers (along both top & bottom decks) make the Maliko inflatables the some of the stiffest inflatable paddle boards yet. Furthermore, the construction eliminates the need for added parts or strings, distributing stiffness along the entire board. These wide carbon stringers run directly along the center of the board to minimize any excessive bending or unnecessary rocker caused by rider weight. The result is reduced water resistance and superior speed. x Weave Drop Stitch Naish's X-weave dropstitch construction provides a high pressure rating which allows you to pump the board up to 20 PSI for superior stiffness, yet keep the board as light as possible. Wide Carbon Stringers The Naish Maliko inflatable race boards feature a wide carbon stringer, on the top and bottom, which enhance performance. They are built using the same carbon fibre that you would find in a regular composite board with one key difference. Instead of being infused with resin, they are infused with polyurethane that can then be glued to the board. The carbon construction ensures the top skin has minimal compression or elongation resulting in the most rigid inflatable boards around. Double Layer Rails Naish inflatables are now built with a wide, double PVC layer on the rail. This provides great durability, increased longevity and enhanced stiffness. Hydroslick Edges Strategically placed material along the tail of the board creates a clean water release, reducing the wasted energy resulting from surface tension created at the tail of the board. This makes the most of the energy you produce, moving you forward faster. US Fin Box The 2022 inflatable Naish Malikos are equipped with US fin boxes and come with a race fin, butterfly screw and Phillips head screw (for lower drag) to give you unlimited options to customize your fin design depending on conditions. naish 2022 s26 mailko light x weave drop stitch super light weigth racing inflatable sup paddle board green water sports High Pressure Rated The Naish boards are constructed in an all new manufacturing facility with superior glues, materials and quality control. This allows their boards to be inflated to a higher PSI (21), for unbelievable stiffness that performs more like a composite board. Adhering to the highest quality control standards in the industry, every single inflatable board is built to last. Stiffness matters - Here how is works Assuming that the pressure applied is high enough-when a board bends, it acts similarly to an I-Beam, in which the top skin compresses, while the bottom skin does the opposite (extends). A stiffer board moves more efficiently, when you paddle, as more of the energy you spend propels you forward rather than bending the board. While stringers are mainly added to the tops and bottoms of boards to improve stiffness, they also help controlling the twist of the board. This is achieved by reducing the elongation and compression of the top and bottom skins of the board.
