Construction and details

Pointed nose and long waterline

The Comet TJ has a pointed nose, so the board cuts through the water rather than pushing it ahead. The long waterline increases hull speed, so it is easier to hold your pace between strokes. On a long route that means less wasted energy.

US Box centre fin

The centre fin fits a US Box. Together with the long hull, it lets you paddle many strokes on the same side before the board starts to turn. This saves energy and time over long distances.

2LF Fusion and RRT 2.0

A second PVC layer is heat fused to the main PVC laminated Drop-Stitch fabric, without glue. The rail is welded from three layers, so the board can be inflated to 18-20 PSI (1.24-1.37 bar). According to the manufacturer, such a board is up to 25% lighter than standard double layer boards.

Non-slip deck

The diamond grooved deck pad grips your feet well in every direction. It helps you step quickly and safely from the middle of the board towards the tail when you need to turn or shift your weight.

Glide and tracking

The manufacturer aims the Comet TJ at those who want to move from leisure paddling to real trips on the water. The board is built to glide as well as possible and hold its course, so your arms tire less over long distances. At 76 cm it is narrower than all-round boards, so balance takes a little more skill, but the reward is faster, smoother movement.

The board suits lakes, calm rivers and the sea. The maximum capacity is 160 kg, and the manufacturer recommends the board for paddlers up to 100 kg, leaving room for bags and gear. The Comet TJ is not designed for seated paddling; it is made for standing.

How does the Comet TJ differ from the Comet J3?

Both boards weigh 11 kg and have a 2LF Fusion construction. The J3 is a 350 cm long, 81 cm wide all-round board with a Slide fin. The TJ is 30 cm longer and 5 cm narrower, with a pointed nose and a US Box fin. The TJ is better for long routes, while the J3 is more stable and versatile.
