Lakeshore Paddleboard Company designs and manufactures stand-up paddleboards specifically for the flat-water market with a core focus on the recreational and fitness aspects of this sport. Our main goal is to offer a premium brand which truly represents a “lifestyle”; a lifestyle consisting of health, adventure, fun, and freedom.
LPC’s stand-up paddleboards are the ultimate watercraft for exploration, discovery, fitness, and individual expression. Our board designs are different from the typical “surf-style” SUPs because they have characteristics unique only to flat-water paddling. Here is what separates us from other brands:
LPC SUPs have sharp vertically shaped front displacement hulls similar to canoes. And high tech wave piercing bows modeled after sail boat racing designs. These hull shapes enable the boards to slice through the water rather than plane on top of the water, giving the boards increased performance, speed, and tracking ability. Displacement hulls and wave piercing bows are the best designs for flat-water and make our boards the “correct” product for paddling lakes, rivers, ocean harbors, and beyond the surf zone.
LPC SUPs have a much lower rocker profile to increase the length of the water line to maximize speed and glide. They also have squared rails which create more volume around the edges of the board, providing better balance and more buoyancy in fresh water. A flattened top deck also provides a more comfortable standing area.
LPC SUPs have numerous tie-downs & straps to hold all your flat-water gear, convenient built-in carrying handles for ease of handling & transporting, and waterproof two-way air vents to allow continuous core pressure stabilization during elevation changes and high temperatures (a very important feature for mountainous areas).
At LPC, the core of our brand features boards that are 30 inches and wider, lending to more stability and ease in use. We call this a “true” flat-water recreational board and LPC is the only flat-water company focusing on this broader recreational market. And because LPC understands that the average rider wants a board that is easy to manage and transport, we have developed ultra lightweight board options that are a first in the industry for recreational designs.
LPC is consistently striving to be the leader in innovation and technology. Our ULTRALITES are a clear example of this. Proudly built in the USA with a hollow core technology that make the boards weigh around 20 lbs., offering unparalleled ease of use and transporting. No one else in the world offers this weight per volume ratio for recreational boards.
Our high tech race board “The Stealth” is another benchmark. It features a state of the art design developed using advanced scientific knowledge from the sail boat racing industry. It is built with pure racing characteristics and is our fastest most technologically advanced board to date. The field results for the 2011 race season have not disappointed either. The LPC race team has landed the podium in almost every race the Stealth has entered.
