SIC Maui at The SUP Store

ABOUT SIC

SIC was born of shaper/waterman Mark Raaphorst. Hailing originally from the Netherlands, he left at the age of 16 to fulfill his windsurfing dreams, which, like so many windsurfers, landed him on the north shores of Maui, Hawaii. here he fulfilled his dream of becoming a waterman, making a living doing board repairs, and learning the craft of shaping from the masters. Soon after, Raaphorst established Ding King Fiberglass Works repair shop.  Tearing apart boards gave him a unique insight into board construction, quality, and materials.  It was not long before Raaphorst was shaping boards and building outrigger canoes out of his facility.  


SIC ABOUT US IN THE UK

During the pioneering days of SUP, many legendary waterman came to Mark and asked him to shape a board to paddle in waves and paddle down the coast. Mark took their input and began to shape some of the earliest SUP boards, which would help the sport get off the ground and drive the early days of innovation.  

In 2006 Mark created his brand, "Sandwich Islands Composites." The Sandwich Islands being the name that Captain James Cook, British Explorer, Navigator, Cartographer, gave the Hawaiian islands in honor of Lord Sandwich who had sponsored the voyages. 

In 2011 the acronym and logo "SIC" was created and how the brand is known today. 
Over the years, SIC has evolved, defined, and dominated the open ocean paddling scene and has won overwhelmingly,  most of the prestigious channel crossing events globally, and thus the legend was born.

The SIC Maui RS

The RS has become a huge favourite amongst paddlers of nearly all levels and garnering the prestigious SUPConnect “Race Board of The Year” award in both 2018 and 2019. The RS has now been fine tuned and made even faster and stronger. The refinements are slight but the improvement to top-end speed is significant.

The nose has been pulled in slightly from the wide point giving it even better into-the-wind performance, acceleration and top-end speed. The volume from the rails has been stacked back into the top deck and shaped into a higher center peak to sheer water and pop up more quickly when the nose punches through chop. The nose of the 14’0” was lowered by approximately 1/4”/635 cm and the tail lowered by 1/2”/1.27cm to optimize the waterline while the rocker line of the 12’6” remains unchanged based on the rider feedback. The cockpit has been lowered slightly.

The all new Super Fly (SF) construction has been a massive leap forward in durability, stiffness and overall performance. With a full PVC wrapped core to give the board tremendous impact resistance with its tip-to-tail / 360-degree rail-to-rail wrap few boards can compare.

 

The Bullet

The Bullet is a tremendous downwind board designed to be a versatile touring board that can surf swell, beach, and point breaks.

Description

The BULLET 14’0 and 12'6 has truly become a classic and both defined and dominated downwind and fitness/touring for years.

The Bullet has won SUPConnect awards for Best Board Overall and Best All Around Board and won accolades from Men’s Health and Outside Magazine to mention a few. With this kind of legacy we had to take extra time and care on this newly designed Bullet to ensure that this updated shape was a significant evolution from its predecessors.
