Construction and details

2LF Fusion: double layer without glue

A second PVC layer is heat fused to the main PVC laminated Drop-Stitch fabric. No glue is used, so the result is a seamless double wall that increases stiffness, durability and service life. According to the manufacturer, such a board is up to 25% lighter than standard double layer boards, so it is easier to carry and handle.

RRT 2.0 rails and 18-20 PSI

The first rail layer is attached to the hull, a second is heat welded on top, and a third finishing layer seals it all. Such a rail is very strong, so the board can be inflated to 18-20 PSI (1.24-1.37 bar). The higher the pressure, the less the board flexes underfoot. The board has one air chamber and a high pressure valve with a bayonet connection.

Three fins

The centre fin slides into a Slide box, and the two side Click fins clip on and off without tools. Three fins help the board track, so a beginner switches paddling sides less often. Before you pack the board in the backpack, all fins come off in seconds.

Non-slip deck and handles

The deck has a textured non-slip pad that grips your feet well even when wet. Handles at the front and back help you carry the board to the water or pull it up onto the shore.

Stability and handling on the water

The manufacturer highlights the Comet J1 for its ease of use from the first outings and its great side stability, so it suits those with no water sports experience yet. The 89 cm width and 295 L volume let you stand up quickly and keep your balance. The short 290 cm hull turns easily, and the three fins keep the board from wandering.

The J1 is happiest on calm water: lakes, calm rivers and along the sea shore in calm weather. The maximum capacity is 140 kg, and the manufacturer recommends the board for paddlers up to 100 kg.
