The Speed range is dedicated to going flat out fast. To push the speed envelope in real world conditions you need maximum control, full concentration, and a board that doesn't distract you from finding your line. To achieve this, the boards are designed to trim like a plane on autopilot. Leaving the rider to focus on the wind and chop ahead- perfectly suited for both real-world GPS speedsailing and videotimed record attempts.

The Carbon Art SPEED range was designed and tested by Chris Lockwood in windy Western Australia, and proven at the world-class speed venues of Sandy Pt and Walvis Bay. With unrivalled versatility, the designs excel in the small rolling chop found in real-world speed conditions where other designs are struggling for control, and maintain uncompromised performance in record-breaking conditions.
