The Barranca is an all-around or hybrid shaped board that is great for flatwater paddling. The nose is a rounded planning hull designed to provide maximum paddle power and to glide or plane over top of the water as opposed to cutting through.
The Barranca comes in several sizes to accommodate different riders as well as intended use. The Barranca is a beautiful light weight board that can accommodate just about anyone with all the different size options.
The Barranca has an EPS foam core, 3 layers of fiberglass and epoxy resin. The wood grain looks on this board are not wood veneer but has the look of real wood. This classic wood look is for appeal and does not add the additional weight that a wood veneer would add. It comes with 3 removable fins, plenty of bungee tie downs for your gear, a deep center hand grip for an easy grab and carry, maintenance free vent plug and a camera mount on the nose to catch the action. Barranca was named after Boca Barranca in Costa Rica, which claims to be the world’s 2nd longest left in the world.
