I think it's somewhere around $2700 depending on what features you want or don't want. Rob – This was a special order, however I think Mark is going to add it into his line now.

My thought on the FW-14 was that it will give more agility in the open ocean swells and fit in the trough better than the F-18. The F-18 should maintain a higher average speed on flat water due to the longer waterline. Dan – I’d most likely paddle the F-18 in flat water.

At first glance, the board looks really sweet. The steering pedal is redesigned and very slick. It looks thin at 5" but hard to tell until I ride it. Will keep you posted.Let us know how the you like the 17'6". I tried it once with Ekolu for a few minutes and it felt really big to me. My personal preference with a board that long will be full displacement so I can get the glide. Robert – I just got it from Young Brothers today. At first glance, the board looks really sweet.

I think this is the first full displacement F-14 from SIC. It's not that similar to the Bark 14. The Bark has a wide square tail and a planing hull shape for 2/3 of the board. The FW-14 is more like a paddleboard or canoe shape. Thanks for reading and for your comments! Thanks Diesel. I think this is the first full displacement F-14 from SIC.

Thank you, Evan, for keeping us posted on the latest in SUP racing design. I'm still undecided if a displacement hull is faster than a planing hull, it really depends on the conditions. I'm excited to try the 17'6 SIC board that Ekolu Kalama won the Molokai race on this weekend (a planing hull). Will keep you posted. Aloha, Robert Stehlik Sweet, looks like a nice ride.

Is this the first F-14 displacement or has Mark made some others? I wonder if it is similar to a Bark 14 diplacement. Keep us posted on the performance when you start doing runs on it. Thanks for your help on Standupzone. I ended up getting a Vortice XP for a good deal but am always curious about all the new designs coming out. I read your site a lot for all the new stuff. Mahalo.
