The Maestro’s old-school charm’s still captivates paddlers nearly 20 years after its conception in Jim Snyder’s depth-charged mind. With a long running-length, marshmallow-soft rails and a very mellow volume distribution, it’s a great platform for small paddlers to get into squirting and to explore the depths.

Just because it's got a vintage doesn't mean it's past it. Ben White won the 2007 World Championships in a Downtime Maestro.

And if you’re feeling bold? Shred it. We'll narrow the tips for even better cartwheel and screw performance.

  • Long design and soft rails mean no-one’s going to be throwing down smoother than you.
  • Long rides for short-legged paddlers — the wing profile means it's easy to access the depths.
  • Moderate rocker means it’s easy to paddle in heavier water.
