Meet the Rum Runner by Point 65, the world’s first modular Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP).
Following the success of Swedish manufacturer Point 65’s modular kayaks comes a three-piece SUP, available in two sizes: the Rum Runner 11.5 and Rum Runner 12.5. The Point 65 Rum Runner is an innovative, high-performance, take-apart, touring SUP with a displacement hull, making it a fast, stable, straight-tracking board on which to explore, exercise, and easily take home in the back of your car.
Like the modular kayaks, the Rum Runner features Point 65’s patented Snap-Tap system for ultimate usability both on and off the water. The 11.5’ Rum Runner has a carrying capacity of 265 lbs and weighs 55 lbs assembled. It easily separates into three manageable sections, each weighing as little as 15 lbs, allowing for easy transport in almost any car. Using the longer mid-section, your Rum Runner 11.5 is transformed into a 12.5’ SUP with a carrying capacity of 300 lbs.
The Rum Runner is fast and fun, yet comfortably stable and straight tracking. It is a SUP that snaps apart and reassembles in seconds, making it by far the most easy to carry, rigid SUP. The rotomolded polyethylene construction provides a combination of strength and impact resistance that most other materials can’t match.
Point 65’s Rum Runner features dry storage space with a watertight hatch in the front. The deck is partly covered with a structured EVA foam padding for paddling comfort and grip, and also features D-rings for installation of the optional AIR seat pad. Other features include a retractable fin for shollower draft and easier storage, cupholders, carrying handles on all sections, and scuppers to drain the deck area.
The Rum Runner is in production now and will be widely available at REI, LL Bean and many other retail stores by late winter/early spring 2014.
US MSRP 11.5′ $999
US MSRP 12.5′ $1,099
