5'4 x 18 45lts ATV C-HS
Description:
The 5’4” 45L is designed for riders looking to maximize in-flight performance. The 5’4” length provides enough glide to easily prone into waves, and while it may seem a touch longer on paper, the refined track placement and narrow width make the board quickly disappear underfoot.
For lighter-weight riders (around 150 lbs), this board works exceptionally well for winging and parawinging. It’s also a favorite among heavier riders looking to downwind using an oversized parawing.
Dims:
5’4 x 18 x 3.8”
New C-HS Construction:
Featuring our new Carbon Half Sandwich (C-HS) construction. Built around a lightweight EPS core with high-density foam reinforcement in the stance zone and a full 3K carbon wrap, this board is exceptionally light and rigid. A custom resin-tint finish provides a premium aesthetic, while small-batch craftsmanship bridges the gap between heavy production boards and fragile custom builds.
Weight:
8lbs +/-
Tracks:
Carbon Fiber 13” tracks 13” from tail.
Note Regarding Board Care:
These are high-performance, lightweight custom carbon laminated boards. To ensure many years of fun on the water, please keep the following care guidelines in mind:
-
Use a Protective Bag: Always store your board in a board bag when it is not in use.
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Never leave your board sitting on the beach or grass exposed to direct sun. Raw carbon absorbs heat rapidly, which can cause severe thermal damage to lightweight cores.
-
Monitor Vehicle Heat: Avoid leaving boards inside sealed, unventilated vehicles during hot summer months.
Our carbon reveals offer incredible aesthetics and top-tier performance, but like any ultra-light composite, they require thoughtful thermal care.

65-66 kg (145lbs) average winger in Hood River. This mini-missile was awesome fun. The smallest volume board I had comfortably ridden before was 48L so I was slightly worried I might have some trouble water-starting this small and narrow a board. But I got up on my very first attempt. With its long skinny shape there’s almost instantaneous acceleration. You do need some wind but not much. For me a 15-16 kn gust on a 3.5m wing was enough to get me onto foil (685 sq cm AR 13). Stable enough that when I did encounter a lull while standing, I was often able to stay on until a gust came along.
Once up in the air, there’s so little swing weight! Makes it tough to go back to larger volume/heavier boards. Bottom shape is great - no issues with touchdowns or catching the rails.
The wind died on me several times during the couple of sessions I used it but even then I had sufficient flotation straddling the board with my wing on the water. Slogging was fine too with the skinny shape making it glide through the water really efficiently. Their weight recommendation (<150lbs) feels about right. If that’s you, give this board a try!
From the first feels in the hands the rail details are so ergonomic and really provide a solid grip for duck diving a board of 45L. Paddles fast, easily and is light underfoot. We have dumpy close outs here so getting in early so you can get to your feet and kick out to get outside to the rolling peaks is critical and this board excels. So stoked.
The perfect blend of size and paddle power. Feels solid under your chest when you’re scratching into waves, and disappears under your feet when on foil. Super light under your arm and the chimes in the rail are really useful for duck dive grip. Great first impression of my first HC product!
