Here there is really very good news. As can be observed with many manufacturers, the trend for the Bluefin Cruise is moving towards a construction that is referred to as “MSL-Fusion” in technical jargon. If you attach the camera to face you, it becomes a great training tool that will record your technique and body position. We think filming yourself is one of the best ways to improve, because you can really break down what you’re doing and what’s going wrong. You’ll be surprised that most of the time you aren’t bending your knees as much as you thought you were or reaching as far forward as you could for that paddle stroke. There are still 5 free D-rings (for the leash and an optional kayak seat) and 3 carrying loops (in the middle with paddle holder). The luggage net still has side straps reinforced with neoprene, but is now removable with a carabiner and has reflectors on the front two D-rings and there are 2 new action cam mounts on the rear two.

The new versions of the Bluefin Cruise are worthy successors and further developments of the popular classics in every respect. With the two additional sizes, it is now actually suitable for absolutely every paddler. The 6 different colors are another trump card.The newly used MSL-Fusion construction combines a light weight with top stiffness and is on the cutting edge! The high weight was always one of the very few criticisms of the predecessors. In the following presentation, I will go into detail about the Bluefin Cruise Carbon and the accessories that come with it. The Bluefin Cruise 10.8 comes out on top when it comes to tipping stability. Apart from the identical width, the relation to the length is also important for this characteristic. In relation to the length, all Bluefin Cruise boards have a balanced width, so that they offer sufficient basic stability even for beginners.

It’s good practice to keep the board partially inflated to protect it from deformations and creases. However, if you don’t have enough space to store it partially inflated, follow these steps: Our goal is to give you all the facts and features of the boards in detail. You will benefit from our years of experience in testing paddle boards. With this setting, however, the board no longer has good guidance and steering becomes more difficult…as soon as conditions allow it again, you should use the center fin again! Load and Weight The fusion technique thus allows much less material to be used without any loss in stiffness, which, together with the reduction in adhesives and solvents, is of course kinder to resources and the environment.

Company Review – Bluefin

FRS: FLEX REDUCTION SYSTEM: Robust Carbon fibre rovings woven into a diagonal twill pattern produce our 3K Carbon fibre rail layer. Unique properties of 210gsm carbon textile allow stiffness & flexibility in one lightweight material. Carbon mid-rail is heat-welded between internal and external rail tape to produce unrivalled tension & rigidity.

Cruising boards are characterized by the combination of a touring shape with a pointed nose as well as a straight tail and allrounder dimensions. Due to this middle ground, they convince with a good basic stability and yet better gliding properties. Like most of the Bluefin iSUP boards, the Bluefin Cruise 12’ is perfect for all levels. One of the big advantages of the board is its size, allowing great stability on the water, however, it also makes for a great choice for advanced paddle boarders looking to go further distances and do more exploring. As well as being suitable for beginners right through to advanced paddle boarders, the larger size makes it great for family fun, or activities such as fishing.It’s worth noting that fiberglass paddles are generally lighter and more beginner-friendly than aluminum paddles, so this is a great addition. Moreover, the connectors are sturdy, and the overall feel of the paddle is excellent. I’ve tried using it myself, and I can tell you that both beginners and pros will love this paddle. For an added bonus this paddle can be converted into a kayak paddle as well. Air Pump The main advantage of this technique, apart from the excellent bonding of the layers, is the low weight. Two air chambers: The Bluefin Cruise Carbon has two separate air chambers. On the one hand, this provides more stiffness and on the other hand, this can be practical in the event of an accident. Since the central air chamber can keep the board afloat alone. As a result, you can also reach higher speeds, since you don’t have to change sides as often and can ultimately produce a faster, very dynamic paddling rhythm. The middle ground of (almost) allround stability and (almost) touring gliding characteristics offers an excellent future perspective… even with improving skills.
