SIC Kunalu DW Board — downwind paddleboard from SIC Maui for paddleboarding with wind and swell in open ocean. Narrow and elongated shape, available in various sizes and constructions. For experienced SUP riders looking to explore downwind.
SIC Kunalu DW Board is a downwind paddleboard from SIC Maui designed for practicing downwind paddleboarding — running with the wind and waves in open ocean, one of the fastest-growing water sports in recent years.
Construction. The Kunalu is available in various sizes and constructions (check available variants). Constructions range from carbon-Innegra (more affordable and durable) to full carbon (stiffer and lighter). The shape is narrow and elongated with a directional nose, optimized to catch and surf open swell with minimal paddle effort between waves.
On the water. The Kunalu is for riders who already have SUP experience and want to take the step into downwind: reading the swell, connecting wind-driven waves, and gliding for seconds without paddling. It's not a beginner SUP table — it's for riders comfortable in the water looking to explore downwind in real wind and swell conditions.
How we see it at El Niño Mallorca. Downwind is growing fast in Mallorca thanks to Tramuntana conditions and the north coast. If you're thinking of making the move, drop us a line: the SIC Kunalu is one of the market references and we'll guide you on size and construction based on your weight and level. Also ask about accessories (carbon paddle, specific leash, PFD).
