TRIPSTIX ClustAir Surfboards: Inflatable Surf and SUP Boards

Until now, surfers and standup paddlers have had to make compromises when traveling. You either had to find space for hard, bulky and sensitive boards, or you rely on inflatable models. These can be packed small, but they don't deliver the same performance as hardboards. Now, thanks to the patented ClustAir technology, TRIPSTIX is combining the best of both worlds. This light, inflatable board promises stiffness and shape while being able to be packed down to a small size. TRIPSTIX relies on ClustAir’s characteristic longitudinal tubes for its design, which gives the board a highly technical appearance and can be enjoyed by beginners and experts alike.

Stiffness and Performance – Packed Small with Patented Clustair Technology

TRIPSTIX’s patented ClustAir technology is designed to give inflatable surfboards and SUP boards the same performance as traditional hardboards. The light boards from TRIPSTIX can be packed small, but leave a large impression thanks to their stiffness and ideal shape.

What TRIPSTIX Says

"In the meantime, I didn't believe myself that we would be finished in time. I entered the ISPO Award very early on because I am so convinced of the product. But I still had to build the prototype. I really started a year ago. ClustAir is a further development of the Vacuuair technology, which opens up new possibilities in almost all areas of water sports. The boards are stiffer and more robust than all other inflatable boards on the market. I am glad that the jury finally saw the overall concept and the great potential."
