Mistral Introduces Super Light/Stiff iCROSS

Mistral releases a new revolutionary internal construction technology for Inflatable Paddleboards called iCROSS.

WIERDEN, The Netherlands - Mistral proudly introduces yet another game changing innovation to the water sports world….After years of prototyping and R&D, Mistral releases a new revolutionary internal construction technology for Inflatable Paddleboards called iCROSS.

Mistral’s new exclusive iCROSS technology integrates a coated double-walled PVC based fabric that uses a three dimensionally woven structure, where the two basic deck and bottom fabrics of the board are interlinked with numerous interweaving spacer threads. The result is a state of the art iSUP construction that is significantly stiffer at a lower PSI and weighs close to 45% less than the existing iSUPs on the Market today. Mistral's iCROSS technology is currently avialable in two models: Allround 10'5" x 31 and Cruiser 12'6" x 31".
