Description

LOW RANGE PROPELLER 6

The LR6 Low Range Propeller is designed to deliver maximum thrust when you need it most during take-offs, bogged-down moments, or near stall recovery. Wider and longer by 6% compared to the standard propeller, it increases surface area and overall diameter to generate more low-speed power and smoother surface motoring.

OVERVIEW

The LR6 Low Range Propeller is designed to deliver maximum thrust when you need it most during take-offs, bogged-down moments, or near stall recovery. Wider and longer by 6% compared to the standard propeller, it increases surface area and overall diameter to generate more low-speed power and smoother surface motoring.

Think of it like switching from a standard car tire to an off-road tire. While the off-road tire may be slightly slower at top speed, it grips instantly and gets moving faster from a standstill. The LR6 works on the same principle, trading a bit of top-end speed for superior low-end traction and control.

DETAILS

The LR6 is ideal for intermediate and advanced riders who want to fine-tune their ride. Perfect for:

  • Assist motor positions
  • Surface motoring
  • Choppy or messy water
  • Wave riding
  • Upwind and downwind conditions
  • Beginners may benefit in some situations, but we recommend starting with the standard propellers before considering this upgrade.

TECH SPECS

  • More low-end thrust for confident take-offs and recovery
  • Better surface motoring with reduced RPM for smoother cruising
  • Improved control through surface chop
  • Enhanced grip at take-off, re-entry, low-speed touchdowns, or near stallTrade-Offs: Slightly reduced top-end speed due to the larger diameter and weight

WHAT’S INCLUDED

3x Individually weighed and balanced propellers

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why are there propeller options?

The Standard Black Props are a great all-rounder, the additional upgrade propellers are a great option for riders wanting to fine tune their setup. Think of the Standard Propeller like a bike with three gears, versatile, covering both low and high speeds as a solid all-rounder. The propeller upgrades are like adding more gears, either extra low-speed power or higher top-end speed. Each option has its benefits and trade-offs, but they can make a big difference to your session.

Why choose the Low Range 6% LR6 (Blue) propellers?

Choose Low Range 6% LR6 (Blue) for more low-end thrust and easier take-off. Great for improved near stall/low speed recovery.

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.
