Infinity Blackfish 2025 – 14’ Flatdeck
All-Water Speed. Explosive Starts. The Most Versatile Raceboard Ever Built.
The Infinity Blackfish Flatdeck has become one of the most iconic raceboards in SUP — a benchmark for all-water performance, sprint power and real-world versatility. Loved by beach-race specialists and distance paddlers alike, it delivers a fast, stable and confidence-inspiring ride in every condition.
For 2025, the Blackfish receives its first major shape overhaul in years, alongside Infinity’s brand-new Team Elite Tech2 Carbon construction, making it lighter, stiffer and more hydrodynamically refined than ever.
From Infinity: A New Era of the Blackfish
Infinity’s design philosophy has always pushed all-water race shapes to the limit. For 2025, Dave Boehne rebuilds the Blackfish from the inside out — retaining its legendary DNA while evolving every performance detail.
Team Elite Tech2 Carbon Construction
The EPS core is wrapped in a full PVC shell, then laminated in carbon fibre — creating Infinity’s lightest and strongest Blackfish to date.
Refinements to the layup reduce weight across the entire range, giving you:
-
A livelier, more responsive feel
-
Superior strength-to-weight ratio
-
Race-ready stiffness
-
Improved durability for travel and surf use
Infinity boards have always been premium; Tech2 takes them even higher.
A Proven Race Winner, Evolved Again
The Blackfish has won:
It remains the fastest accelerating board in the Infinity lineup, exceptionally stable for its width, and uniquely capable of performing in chop, swell, flatwater and surf transitions.
Team riders include:
Candice Appleby • Arthur Arutkin • Donato Freens • Juliette Duhaime • Mariecarmen Rivera • Riccardo Rossi • Campbell Carter • Kai Lenny
The list grows every year — because the board works.
What’s New in the 2025 Shape
A Completely Re-Engineered Nose
The first major redesign since the Blackfish launched.
-
Taller, sharper, more pointed
-
Volume pulled back into the midsection
-
Cleaner, quieter entry in flatwater
-
“Stabs” through upwind swell with greater efficiency
This improves upwind grinding power and flatwater glide, giving you speed when it matters most.
Updated Hybrid Planing Hull
This is what makes the Blackfish legendary — now fine-tuned for even more speed.
The 2025 bottom shape features:
-
Rolled entry hull
-
A narrower inverse-V panel
-
Subtle vee exit behind the fin
-
Soft, rounded entry rails that slip through the water
This results in:
-
Explosive starts (“like skipping a stone”)
-
Higher maximum sprint speed
-
Smooth control in bumps and chop
-
All-condition efficiency
Refined Flatdeck Platform
The Blackfish Flatdeck remains a favourite for surf racing and riders who move around the board often.
-
1.5” shallow recess for maximum width and stability
-
Clean, unobstructed standing area
-
Excellent for beach starts, buoy turns and surf entries
New for 2025:
At the request of team riders, the narrow widths (21.5” and 23”) now have:
Wider widths retain the classic flatdeck platform without a drain.
