Shark is a newer addition to Asgard’s range, and it’s one of the more interesting collections if you’re looking for boards that blend performance, stability, and practical design. Rather than being built as one-size-fits-all options, the boards in the Shark line each have a clearer purpose, which makes it easier to match the right board to the right type of paddler.
If you’re trying to understand where the range fits, it helps to think of it as a mix of everyday boards and more performance-led models. Some are better suited to beginners and relaxed sessions, while others lean more towards touring, speed, and longer days on the water.
Shark Speed Plus 12’6”
The Speed Plus 12'6" is the most performance-focused board in the range. Its slimmer shape, flat rocker profile, and carbon nose cone are all designed to help it glide efficiently and hold a straight line, which makes it a strong option for longer, faster paddles. The 20PSI inflation rating, carbon rails, and triple rail edge give it a very solid feel on the water, while details like the kick pad, cargo system, and action camera mount make it feel well thought through rather than overly stripped back. At £650, it sits in that more serious performance bracket, with the 3-year warranty reflecting that it’s built for regular use.

Shark Cruiser Flow 11’6”
The Cruiser Flow 11'6" is probably the easiest board in the range to place for everyday paddlers. It has a more balanced shape, a wider size choice, and a design that should suit people who want one board that can do a bit of everything without feeling too niche. The Flow Nose Cone and flat rocker help it move well through the water, but it still keeps the kind of stability that makes sense for beginners or anyone who wants a calmer ride. It also has useful practical touches, like the multiple D-ring setup, Smart-Tec fin system, and cargo options, so it feels adaptable rather than overly specialised.

Shark Pace 10’6”
The Pace 10'6" is the most approachable option in the Shark range. It has a stable, confidence-building shape and a wider platform, which makes it a sensible choice for beginners, casual paddlers, or anyone who wants a board that feels straightforward from the first session. The click-in fin system makes setup quick, while the kayak seat compatibility and cargo points add a bit of flexibility if you want to use it in different ways. It’s the sort of board that feels easy to recommend because it keeps things simple without cutting corners on build quality.

Shark Venture Plus 12’6”
The Venture Plus 12'6" is a board that sits close to touring territory. It has the same longer shape as the Speed Plus, but with a broader focus on control, glide, and long-session comfort rather than pure pace. The carbon-welded triple rail, stiffening spine, and carbon nose cone all point towards a board that’s built to stay responsive over distance, while the kickpad and multi-position D-rings make it more versatile for step-back turns, touring, or carrying kit. At £720, it feels like the premium choice for paddlers who know they’ll be putting serious miles under them.

Final Thoughts
What stands out about the Shark range is that each board has a fairly clear purpose, which makes it easier to match the right one to the right paddler. The Pace feels like the best entry point, the Cruiser Flow works well as an all-rounder, and the Speed Plus and Venture Plus are better suited to people who want a more performance-led setup. That makes the range useful not just for experienced paddlers, but also for anyone looking to grow into a board over time.
