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.
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.

LONGBOARD SUP
An Evolution Of The Classic Surf Shape. Smooth, Stylish, Simple10 x CLIMATE POSITIVEHigh-performance Longboard paddle board that is versatile, incredibly responsive and smooth to turn.
This stand up paddleboard is inspired by our legendary Starboard Surf Longboard model, designed to perform in waves from 1ft small beach breaks to head-high reef breaks. The boards offer fast down-the-line surfing, as well as the ability to perform in the critical section of the wave. These cutting-edge shapes are totally well received by our team riders and anyone who have tested them.
CLASSIC STYLE, MODERN CONSTRUCTION
LOW VOLUME THINNED OUT RAILS• Easily engage with minimal foot pressure, giving control down the wave face and hold through steeper sections of the wave.• Ultra-responsive and sensitive to turn direction with speed and control.
PARALLEL OUTLINEParallel straight outline in the midpoint provides a smooth fast glide that is easy to trim the board.
GRADUAL NOSE KICKEnsures a smooth take-off into waves without pearling.
FULLER NOSE OUTLINEGives enough float and stability to ride toes on the nose for classic Longboard styling.
RELATIVELY FLAT MIDSECTIONDelivers speed feeding into a moderate tail kick for responsive turning.
FLAT DECKFlat deck improves stability and makes transitioning effortless from rail-to-rail allowing for drawn-out carves.
NARROW DIAMOND TAILIs extremely reactive in bottom turns.
DOUBLE CONCAVE• Allows the board to roll onto its rail effortlessly to turn direction from the standing area.
• The pronounced vee tail makes turning very crisp and reactive, essential for fast bottom turns and of the top.
FIN POSITION• After testing multiple fin positions, we chose to place the side fins very close to the rail. This enables carving with precision and hold through turns, while the center fin position gives tracking and drive.
• Can also be surfed as a single fin.
NEW SELF-VENTILATING VALVEA 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.
LIMITED SERIES
TIMELESS LOOK, SOLID PERFORMANCE
• Twin T-stringers made from glass fibre are positioned on the deck and bottom of the board close to the rail, providing a massive increase in the overall strength against total breakage in the surf.
• An additional wide layer of 200g glass wraps the rails for higher strength against paddle impact and further reinforces the overall strength against buckling.
• The deck features reinforced biaxial glass and Australian pine, to resist heel dents and impact from the standing area.
• The nose and tail are wrapped in multiple layers of glass fiber for further strength on these impact zones.
NEW HONEYCOMB PADThe honeycomb pad structure makes this design truly stand out. Not only does it look unique and bene ts from a reduction in weight from a full pad, we believe it offers one of the best grips we have ever used.
The small gaps between the pads give you multiple corners to wedge your feet against, providing the rider additional grip and more control to drive the board harder through turns. The diamond grooving is incredibly secure under foot, combining the corduroy wings allowing the rider to feel when they are close to the tail of the board.
TWIN T-STRINGER DECK AND BOTTOMPROTECTS AGAINST TOTAL BREAKAGE
The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom work together to increase the overall total breakage strength. The T-stringers are positioned close to the rail acting similar to an i-beam to endure heavy drops and strong wipe outs.
STRONG FIN BOXESThe fin boxes are molded with extra strong Akulon Eco, made from upcycled fishing net, then wrapped high density foam and sandwiched in over 1000 grams of glass reinforcements.
MULTIPLE REINFORCEMENTIn the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance. An additional wide layer of 200g glass wraps the rails for higher strength against paddle impact, and further reinforces the overall strength against buckling.
EPS CORE – 15 KG/M³ DENSITYShear resistant, fused and moulded individually to fit each and every Starboard board providing high strength at the lightest weight. Our moulded core technology produces zero EPS wastage.
IQ HANDLEIQ handle for easy carrying, made from recycled ABS.
RIGID STANDING AREASUSTAINABLY SOURCED PINE
A standing area of 0.6mm Australian Pine is added for extra deck impact resistance and rigidity.

This high performance board is very accessible to any rider who wants to have maximum performance in the surf. Added width and volume makes this board very forgiving stability wise, without sacrificing performance aspects of the advanced shape. The fast, flat bottom nose entry that feeds into the single concave creating lift and speed then flowing back into the double concave through the fin area which gives the board drive through turns makes this board highly responsive and maneuverable. The wider tail block gives the board added drive and thrust while the swallow tail keeps it responsive and allows for easier, tight turning.

TAKE OFF
TO NEW HEIGHTS10 x CLIMATE POSITIVEThe Take Off is the Foiler’s board of choice for anything wing, foil surf, foil downwind and more. This is a true all-round foil board that caters for first-time flyers getting started in foiling all the way through to experienced foilers looking to get high and go fast.This is a completely new concept through and through with an all-new bottom shape, release edges, rocker, volume and outline. You name it, the 2022 Take Off Foil Board has it.
SMALL SIZE, HIGH VOLUME
Our super small size range with high volume means riders can ride smaller boards than ever before. This new range allows for riders to go down in size by around one foot in length. Smaller size, easier riding in a higher performance package.
NEW BOXY RAIL DESIGNThe rails include a chine design and feature a boxy design toward the top at the standing area. This maximizes the width of the board, making for a more stable and comfortable riding experience.
NEW RAIL EDGE RELEASEThe new rail release revolutionizes lift-off. As you pump the board the edge releases for smooth take offs.
NEW CHINE RAILSThe new Chined Rail design ensures a reduced rail area. Especially helpful when turning on the foil, touch downs and ensures the earliest and easiest take offs.
NEW ROUND TAIL DESIGNAfter testing a variety of tail designs, we found that this round design gives an easy and smooth sensation during lift off.
NEW TAIL EDGE RELEASEThe sharp tail edge releases when lifting off.
NEW DECK CHANNELAt the tail, water is funneled out from the board as quickly as possible.
NEW CONCAVE DECKThe low centre of gravity signifficantly improves stability when paddling and foiling and bringing you closer to the foil for the best foiling sensation.
NEW FOOTSTRAP INSERTSThe new 18cm distance between the inserts allows you to have a wider footstrap span for better trim and control while foiling since you can micro-adjust your position.
NEW EXTRA LONG FOOTSTRAP• A new larger foot strap that has a wider spread and it can also be made shorter, using different positions, for those who want the security necessary to launch into the air.
• Our new XL footstraps come with Blue Carbon Pro and Blue Carbon. It can also be purchased aftermarket for Lite Tech.
NEW 12” FOIL BOXThe brand new 12” foil box gives more options to more riders. Move the foil to your preferred liking. Further forward suits riders starting to foil who may need extra lift. Further back on the box is for high wind conditions, large waves and highly skilled riders. All boards are optimised so the middle box position gives the best balance point for foilers.
NEW FLAT FOIL AREAThe Flat foil area is designed to keep the foil in the ideal angle at all times, no matter where the foil is placed.
NEW SELF-VENTILATING VALVEA 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.
