Starboard Sprint Expedition Wood Carbon 2023
The Starboard Sprint Expedition arrives with 2 new wider models providing greater stability, the crossover is now available as a long-distance touring option.
The 14'0"x27.5" Sprint is designed for riders up to 110 kg who want solid stability and great speed, and the 14'0"x29.5" is for those weighing up to 120 kg and seeking ultra-stability for long distance adventures.
Both new sizes offer a recessed bag storage area in front of the standing area with bungee tie downs to carry gear and supplies for ultra-distance races and long exploration paddles. Combining Starboard’s legendary racing hull with massive dugout cargo capacity, this revolutionary board is fast, stable and so fun to paddle. Capable of carrying weeks of gear, it is ready for any wilderness journey. It is the real deal.
Designed for Ultra-distance paddling, the recessed forward bag area and recessed rear area feature multiple tie down points for bags, food and supplies. The 29.5" features both forward and rear bungee tie downs while the 27.5" features only forward bungee tie downs.
The 29.5" model features a center tuttle box in front of the usual fin box. Large tuttle fins can be installed for additional stability if needed. Large fins are great for stability in longer, adventure paddling.
Whats's new on the Sprint Expedition 2023:
- NEW NOSE PROFILE: Sharper and thicker. A thin, slicing nose parts the water efficiently and stops the water from wrapping over the nose to slow you down. It pops faster in chop and gives you more trim control.
- NEW ROUNDED TAIL EDGE: The tail has a new rounded tail edge, giving a smoother release and more efficient glide. In choppy conditions, the new round tail is more forgiving.
- NEW REFINED INNER STANDING AREA: The inner rails are more dug out in the standing area to utilize the full width inside the cockpit and improve stability.
- NEW PREPREG CARBON FIN: The 3k pre-impregnated carbon biax is ultra-lightweight weave and creates super stiff performance throughout the fin.
- NEW EVA RACE DEFLECTOR: Deflect water entering into the standing, keeping water weight off the board and out of the cockpit. The rail deflector also acts as protection when tying the board onto roof racks.
