Dive into the full story behind the development of the new Gen R—from early prototypes to performance testing across all conditions.
VERSATILE DESIGN
Flat water, technical racing, beach starts, and light-medium open ocean paddling are ideal for the new Gen R. The lighter, thinner design gives you more control and the ability to paddle in a wide range of race scenarios, from flat-water sprints to choppy downwind runs.
FAST AND RESPONSIVE
The All Star-inspired round tail gives the Gen R better glide, faster speeds, and a more forgiving feel when paddling in the ocean. The tail has been designed to be responsive in turns and offers excellent water release.
PRODUCT FEATURES

THIN AND LIGHT DESIGN
The new Gen R is thinner than its predecessor with less volume, making it lighter, faster and more nimble, particularly in side winds or during beach starts.

NEW RAILS
The round rails on toward the nose rails give control and tracking in the side wind, offering the perfect balance of control and balance.

EXTENDED STANDING AREA
The standing area on the new Gen R has been extended further forwards for easy stance trimming in sprints and downwind.

NEW ROCKERLINE
A blend of the previous Gen R toward the nose, combined with the All Star toward the back of the board. Great control in rough conditions while offering amazing acceleration in flatwater.

LOW STANDING AREA
The new Gen-R features a 1.5cm lower standing area than its predecessor. This slight drop results in a lower center of gravity for the rider, improving overall stability and control.

NEW RECESSED EVA HANDLE
1cm EVA Recessed handle gives a soft and forgiving grip during beach starts or when carrying the board. This handle is especially useful during running beach starts.

NOSE VEE
Designed to help shed water off the deck and improve the board’s handling in chop and waves and enhancing the “pop” in choppy conditions.

DOUBLE PROTECTION FOR TRAVEL
Every Gen R board comes with a premium board bag and board sock, giving you double-layer protection and added convenience when traveling, storing, or racing on the go.
Board bag is included with every board (S25D25). Gen R Lite Tech boards come without a board bag.

My board made it ...
But no foot straps, fins, or vent plug?
Look closely through the packaging. Fins, foot straps and vent plugs are often concealed in a sheath of cardboard that's easy to discard. Also, check inside the board box, and shake the box to be sure. You'll likely dislodge a small box containing the missing items.
