What can you build if limited only by your imagination? That's the question we asked ourselves back in 2012 and it's the philosophy that continues to inspire our USP innovations today.
Our answer lies in the Ultimate SHARK Predator (USP) line of high performance rowing boats.
USP™ is performance redefined; a cutting edge concept boat. USP is the result of ten thousand hours of engineering, functionally revolutionary and stylish features, and a development approach unconstrained by convention and budget.
The result is the next generation of Olympic class high performance rowing boats, available today.
USP 1X Single
Building on the World Class SHARK Series shapes, HUDSON have developed ULTIMATE SHARK Carbon which offers a leap forward in stiffness and durability specific to the athlete forces applied in the sport of Rowing.
Every hull has been through Unsteady Flow Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, and every piece has been modelled applying Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and run through a Finite Element Analysis.
