Infinity FUTURA 2027
The Next Line Forward.
The Infinity FUTURA is built around a simple idea — the future of race-board design doesn’t need to start again from scratch. It needs to refine what already works.
Designed by Dave Boehne, the FUTURA blends proven race-board principles with modern hull design to create a fast, efficient and highly versatile race platform.
Clean lines, controlled volume and purposeful shaping give it a very different feel to more exaggerated modern race boards. There is no unnecessary bulk and no overcomplication — just a board designed around glide, acceleration, stability and efficiency.
A True Hybrid Race Board
The FUTURA sits between a dedicated flat-water board and an all-water race shape.
It retains the clean entry, low drag and efficient glide you would expect from a flat-water design, but adds enough stability and control to remain genuinely usable when conditions become less predictable.
It is designed to perform across:
-
Flat water: fast glide, efficient acceleration and low drag
-
Mild chop: predictable stability and controlled tracking
-
Upwind paddling: narrow entry helps the board slice cleanly through wind and chop
-
Light downwind conditions: enough responsiveness to chase and link smaller bumps
-
Technical racing: stable and reactive from the tail
-
Sprint racing: efficient acceleration and strong straight-line speed
For many paddlers, this could become the board you reach for most often rather than something reserved for one specific set of conditions.
Designed with Discipline
The FUTURA follows a deliberately restrained design philosophy.
Rather than adding more volume or exaggerated features, Infinity has focused on refining the areas that matter most.
Key design features include:
-
Narrow nose outline: clean entry and efficient water displacement
-
Refined hull contours: designed to minimise drag throughout the stroke
-
Single concave through the tail: controls water flow and improves clean release
-
Balanced stability: created through hull design rather than unnecessary volume
-
Mild dugout deck: lowers your centre of gravity while retaining easy movement around the board
The result is a board that feels simple, precise and efficient beneath your feet.
Smooth Glide & Efficient Acceleration
One of the main strengths of the FUTURA is how efficiently it carries speed.
Its hull is designed to move smoothly through the water without relying on oversized features or excessive volume.
That creates:
- Smooth, uninterrupted glide
- Quick acceleration from each stroke
- Reduced drag
- Predictable stability
- Less effort required to maintain speed over distance
That efficiency becomes increasingly important during longer races, where small gains in glide and reduced fatigue can make a significant difference.
Mild Dugout Control
The FUTURA uses a mild recessed deck rather than the deeper dugout found on the Everready.
This keeps your centre of gravity lower for improved stability and control, while maintaining a more open and familiar race-board feel.
It offers a useful middle ground for paddlers who want some of the benefits of a dugout design without feeling heavily enclosed within the board.
Flat-Water Speed Without Flat-Water Limitations
Where the FUTURA becomes particularly interesting is its range.
It is fast and efficient enough to make sense as a serious flat-water race board, but it hasn’t been shaped so narrowly around that single discipline that it becomes difficult when the water changes.
In mild chop, technical racing or light bump conditions, it retains a controlled and predictable feel.
That makes it particularly suited to paddlers who race across a mixture of conditions and don’t want to own a different board for every event.
Team Elite Carbon Construction
The FUTURA uses Infinity’s premium race construction, designed to produce a stiff, responsive and lightweight board.
High-performance construction allows more of your paddle stroke to translate directly into forward movement, while keeping the board feeling light and reactive beneath you.
Combined with the refined hull shape, this gives the FUTURA the responsive feel expected from a top-level race board.
Sizes
14'0" x 20.5" – 240L
Recommended maximum rider weight: 170 lbs / 77 kg
14'0" x 22" – 256L
Recommended maximum rider weight: 190 lbs / 86 kg
14'0" x 23.5" – 273L
Recommended maximum rider weight: 210 lbs / 95 kg
14'0" x 25" – 290L
Recommended maximum rider weight: 220 lbs / 100 kg
Which Size Should You Choose?
Your ideal width will depend on rider weight, ability and where you paddle most often.
The 20.5" and 22" versions are aimed more towards experienced racers prioritising maximum speed and efficiency.
The 23.5" provides a strong balance of speed and stability for paddlers racing across mixed conditions.
The 25" adds significantly more usable stability while retaining the FUTURA's efficient hull design, making it a good option for heavier riders or anyone wanting extra confidence without moving into a wider all-water board.
FUTURA vs Everready
While both boards are designed to race across a range of conditions, they offer very different experiences.
The FUTURA leans more towards flat-water efficiency, clean glide and lower drag, with a mild dugout and a narrower, more traditional race-board feel.
The Everready uses a deeper dugout and a more forgiving all-water hull, giving it an advantage when conditions become rougher, bumpier or more technical.
If your racing is mostly flat water, sheltered coastal water and mild chop, the FUTURA is likely to be the faster choice.
If you regularly race in open ocean, larger chop and unpredictable conditions, the Everready may offer more usable stability and control.
Why We Love It
The FUTURA feels like Infinity stripping race-board design back to what actually matters.
Rather than chasing extreme shapes or unnecessary volume, it focuses on clean lines, efficient water flow and usable stability.
It looks fast, but more importantly, the design philosophy behind it makes sense for paddlers who want one board capable of performing across the majority of race conditions.
For racers looking for flat-water speed with genuine all-water usability, the FUTURA could be one of Infinity's most interesting boards yet.
Perfect For:
Flat-water racing, distance racing, sprint events, technical racing, mild chop, light bumps and paddlers looking for a fast hybrid race board with excellent glide and a more refined, traditional feel.
FUTURA — built from what worked, refined for what comes next.
