SIC Maui’s Top Moments of 2021

2021 was another challenging year navigating a world still affected by the pandemic, and we thank you for being patient and sticking by us. We consider every one of you as part of the SIC Ohana, and we hope to continue to provide you with quality watersports gear that will inspire you for years to come.

As the year ends, we'd like to take a moment and highlight the memories that brought us excitement and joy, along with hope for new things to come in the 2022 season.


SIC Maui Foiling Explodes  

In 2021 SIC took a deep dive into the exciting world of foiling, launching a new series of foil boards, foils, and wings giving our watermen and waterwomen around the world new adventures to conquer. Surf, downwind, and wing foiling took center stage as watersport enthusiasts pushed their limits with SIC Maui's performance foiling gear. And this is just the beginning.

Atlantis Race Board

The Rough Water Master 

The ATLANTIS was the latest addition to the SIC's race category boards. Built for rough water, moderate to heavy downwind, and swell conditions, paddlers around the world fell in love with the Atlantis's incredible stability and agility. This also marks the beginning of SIC's series of condition-specific race boards. 


The Adventure Specialist 

Touring, fishing, fitness, gear hauler, and more, the new 2021 Mangrove was dubbed the adventure specialist adapting to what's on your schedule for the day. Its flat bottom and full rails provide the Mangrove's stability. Its rounded bow glides effortlessly in flat water, cuts through chop with ease, and provides a softer ride and multiple tiedown locations allowing you to bring just about anything out on your board. Adventure options are endless.
