Black Project Ray v2 – When You Need Control, Stability & Distance Performance
With the Ray v2, Black Project introduces a fin that gives paddlers uncompromising stability and tracking—even in windy or choppy conditions. Designed as an upgrade to the already popular Ray v1, this new model features more rake, better weed-shedding, and a redesigned Deep Foil profile for increased glide and confidence over long distances.
Highlights & Benefits
- Maximum stability and tracking for intermediate paddlers
- Perfect for touring, downwind, chop and windy conditions
- Reduced surface area improves speed and flow
- Excellent weed-shedding and shallow water clearance
- Improved turning control via foot pressure (micro-tracking)
- Easy to fit on a wide range of race and inflatable boards
Deep Foil Concept (DFC)
The Deep Foil Concept improves stability and efficiency by positioning the thickest foil area deeper below the board. It helps reduce turbulence, increases glide, and keeps your board moving straight even in less-than-ideal conditions. Combined with less overhang at the base, it fits more boards more easily.
Reduced Cord Concept (RCC)
Originally introduced with the Condor fin, the Reduced Cord Concept minimizes the cord length to increase maneuverability without reducing tracking. The Ray v2’s cord is 14.5 cm—shorter than its predecessor—allowing it to be positioned more precisely in the fin box for better pivot or tracking control.
Construction & Technology
The Ray v2 is built with Black Project’s signature LiteCore Technology using 30T Pre-Preg Carbon. This hand-laminated layup ensures a strong, lightweight structure that excels in durability, responsiveness and speed retention. The refined aesthetics also make this fin a standout piece in any quiver.
Conclusion – Stability is Speed
If you’re seeking more control on your board or want to paddle longer with less fatigue, the Ray v2 is your go-to solution. It smooths out choppy conditions, increases glide and gives you time to focus on form—not on balance. From intermediate racers to distance adventurers, this fin makes SUP more fun, stable and efficient.
