THE WIDE RIDE WITH REAL GLIDE

THIN RAILS ON WIDE BOARDS

You will sense the trademark thin rails biting into the wave just like a smaller board and let you maneuver off the top and in bottom turns in ways not expected.
The thin rails mean you need less e ort to turn on the rail, as there is less volume holding the board back from sinking into the turn.

SHORT NOSE OUTLINE

Makes it easier to pivot turn and fit in the critical section of the wave without catching the nose.

FEATURES

NOSE KICK

Prevents the nose from diving when getting into waves and paddling in choppy water.

FLAT ROCKER

In the center provides efficient glide and speed on flats.

FLAT STANDING AREA

Allows to have a wider stance for extra stability in chop.

MODERATE TAIL KICK

Allows for tighter turning when standing back on the tail.

WIDE ROUNDED TAIL

Improves stability when stepping on the board to turn. It also gives release out of turns.

MONO TO DOUBLE CONCAVE BOTTOM

Provides speed to catch the wave and then has sensitive rail-to-rail turning from the midpoint.

CHANNEL TAIL

Makes it easier to carry speed and hold through maneuverers.

SIDE FIN BOXES

Are positioned closer to the rail for quicker response in turns. Minimal change yet a big improvement.

FIN SET UP

Thruster fin set up provides comfortable straight-line tracking on flat and gives drive and control in surf.
Pocket Rocket allows both thruster and quad set up. Quad fin set up uses 4 side fins and gives fast acceleration and instant down the line speed as it does not have a drag from the larger centre fin.

NEW SELF-VENTILATING VALVE

A self-ventilating air valve is available on the board. This valve is self-ventilating so, it should not be touched or removed – otherwise, you are at risk of damaging the valve system.

WINDSURF OPTION

The SUP Windsurfing range offers a great choice for sharing windsurfing and paddle boarding with friends and family. They glide with ease, very different from anything we have offered in the past. Starboard brought home 11 out of 12 PWA constructor titles over the last 12 years and we love getting more people into windpowered fun.
Only available on 10’0″ x 34″ Whopper ASAP WS

Board Constructions

BLUE CARBON

THE BEST VALUE FULL CARBON CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE EVER PRODUCED

Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire board, joining with an overlap on the deck and bottom to create flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength.
2 skins of durable fibre glass form a sandwich around the biaxial Carbon, protecting the carbon by dampening and absorbing the impact.
The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom work together to increase the overall total breakage strength.
Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.

STARLITE

THE STRONGEST RAIL EVER TESTED

Ultra-durable, scratch and impact resistant woven 200g twill azure rail protection.
The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom to protect against total breakage. The T-stringers are positioned close to the rail working like an i-beam to endure heavy drops and strong wipeouts.
Starlite now features a full deck of 0.6mm Australian pine wood which is sandwiched between 2 glass outer skins, increasing the overall total breakage strength and reducing the weight due to lower resin absorption.

ASAP

AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE

Impact-resistant high-density EVA wrapping the whole rail from nose to tail.
Multiple layers of high-grade fiberglass are wetted out in epoxy resin wrapping the hull.
Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity.
Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail and nose reinforcements.

LITE TECH

LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE

Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail / nose reinforcements.
Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area.
All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.
