Designed by Mike Day of Flatwater Paddleboards. Similar to the MD Race but manufactured in Taiwan, specifically for Coreban.
They come in 12'6" known as the Sonic and 14' known as the Phoenix.
Pros
Just as fast as the US made MD Race but half the price. The pure is made with a wrap around wood vernier and reinforced rails. Also has a built in GoPro mount. The boards are available in "Pure, Carbon Kevlar & Brushed Carbon".
Cons
Tippy at first if your not used to the 27" width, but is easily remedied by forcing yourself to rock the board back and forth to get used to the rails.
Usage
Used it in the weekly local races and for general recreation, tours etcetera.
