Raven Bamboo

TOURING / FREERACING

Variant:

C71:brown

Item-no. 43260-1106

Designed for paddlers who want to escape the everyday and explore new horizons—whether along coastlines, lakes, channels, or rivers—the RAVEN BAMBOO glides effortlessly into new territory, enabling a smooth and uninterrupted paddle stroke.

Effortless glide. Maximum distance. Total freedom.

Designed for paddlers who want to get away from it all, the RAVEN BAMBOO is your perfect partner for exploring coastlines, lakes, channels, and rivers. Its smooth paddle stroke and exceptional glide open the door to longer journeys with less effort.


Built for Efficiency

Inspired by our high-performance raceboards, the RAVEN BAMBOO delivers maximum efficiency with minimum effort. Its advanced rocker line — based on the FALCON D/LAB — ensures outstanding glide and exceptional stability in all conditions, whether you're cruising calm lakes or navigating light chop.


FULL CUSTOM BAMBOO Construction

A composite-bamboo-PVC sandwich over a lightweight, CNC-precision-shaped EPS core makes this board stiff, direct, and highly responsive. Every stroke and weight shift transfers instantly into the water with zero wasted energy. Bamboo sandwich technology keeps weight low while providing the durability needed for frequent use across a wide range of conditions.


Key Features

> Race-Inspired Shape: Optimized outline for maximum glide efficiency and speed

> Efficient Rocker Line: Straight mid-rocker for smooth acceleration and sustained glide

> Outstanding Stability: Slightly recessed deck, wide tail, and high-apex rails for a confident ride

> Catamaran-Inspired Side Planes: Flat side sections enhance balance and tracking

> Tour-Ready Deck Layout: Large bungee storage area plus subtle cockpit for gear and comfort


Fast Tourer. Easy Cruiser.

A narrow piercing nose cuts cleanly through the water while the wider midsection maintains glide and stability — delivering race-level cruising speed with touring-level comfort. Unlike narrow race boards, this design lets you enjoy your surroundings without sacrificing balance or confidence.


The Best of Both Worlds

> Enough speed to cover long distances quickly

> Enough stability to paddle relaxed and confidently

> Enough space to carry everything you need for extended tours

One of the most stable boards in its category — without compromising glide.


Who Is It For?

The RAVEN BAMBOO suits touring enthusiasts, paddlers seeking speed without race-board instability, adventurers carrying gear, and all skill levels looking for efficiency, comfort, and versatility.

FULL CUSTOM BAMBOO TECHNOLOGY

The FULL CUSTOM BAMBOO TECHNOLOGY is a full custom technology which is one hundred percent identical to high-end custom made boards.

Instead of using a mould to bring the EPS foam core into its final shape each EPS block gets CNC milled. This ensures maximum precision and saves weight. 

Same as with high-end custom board makers the major advantage lays in the processing. We call this SINGLE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY and it is the key to our industry-leading weight-strength ratio. Instead of combining working steps to save time and money every single step follows its individual process. So for example instead of joining the PVC sandwich with the EPS core in a single shot we vacuum-bag the top and bottom PVC shields with the EPS core separately. 

For all BAMBOO boards we use our most sophisticated layup which consists of more than 20 individual parts and components. The bamboo sandwich on the top distributes peak loads evenly and further extends the overall durability again.

Last but not least even every single board size has an individual layup. That’s the final stage of individualization in construction.

Yet all of this is achieved without any sacrifice in durability since we always follow our core motto LIGHT DONE RIGHT.

CARGO EXPANDER SYSTEM

4-point flat bungee system for easy and secure storage - everything stays where it should with these bungees.

Grab Handle

Ensures a secure grip and comfort when carrying your board. The handle features a double-sided design, so you can hold it from either side.

Duo Structure Pads

The 4 mm thick EVA pads offer the best balance between cushioning/comfort and grip/control. The center section features our signature diamond pattern, which ensures symmetrical grip in all directions. The heat-pressed process protects the EVA against abrasion, ensuring maximum durability. The rear section features a longitudinal cord-groove pattern that provides maximum lateral grip for your back foot, even during the most radical turns. We exclusively select EVA colors that don’t look dirty even after use and won’t fade even after hours in the sun.

EVA KICK-PAD

For better grip and foot positioning in pivot turns. Prevents foot from slipping outside of the pad area during swift turns.

Tail Design

The diamond tail shape allows for a super clean water release. Combined with the straight outline this results in lowest drag and maximum paddle efficiency.

Rail Shape

> Extra volume in the rails with a high apex ensures a dry and stable ride for you and your luggage.

> Sharp rail edges from centre to tail for extra stability and release.

Outline

> Narrow racing style nose for smooth water flow.

> Narrower mid section with stretched and fairly straight outline for maximum paddle efficiency.

Bottom Shape

Keel into mono-concave with bevels (front to back).

> In the front the keel minimize water resistance, resulting in improved straight-line stability and speeds, a smoother ride in choppy waters and maximum efficient

> The mono-concave with bevels offers minimum resistance for maximum gliding performance and speed.
