The Spark 11'0" is 32" wide with 212 liters of volume. This extra volume is great for novice paddlers up to 230 pounds who might find the Spark 10'6" does not offer enough floatation. An EVA deck-pad covers the whole deck and rails, so it is easy on the knees, great for kids and yoga, and won't scratch or ding due to small miss-haps. The rails are covered with a 3" wide Gator Skin strip to resist damage from paddles and parking lots. The boards feature our large Easy-Carry handle and deck inserts for stowing a life jacket or bag.
