Starboard SUP Generation Carbon Top 2023

This big allround board joins the best of the 3 worlds; Surfing, Racing & Touring, in one. It is aimed to be an easy surf, race and touring paddle board for everybody and anybody.

Look this outline, fairly parallel, which delivers a predictable and controlled glide. The wide nose delivers fast acceleration when sprinting as it floats on top of the water. The tail is pulled into a square shape, making it easier to sink for fast buoy turns and most responsive to turn sharply in surf. The round V nose helps lift the board to accelerate faster and maintain a higher top speed. It also floats over chop smoothly, making it versatile to handle all conditions. And the gradual nose kick helps stop the board from diving in the surf and downwind, as well as lifting over chop upwind. The curved rocker is fast on flats, smooth in the surf and very capable in chop.

The rail thickness maintained throughout the entire profile of the board, giving a balanced glide from nose to tail. The Generation is thinner than a Touring and Race board, making it lighter to maneuver and easier to carry. The rail tuck edge round to avoid nose catching, sharpening at the middle to create a stable platform, through to sharp edge at the tail to carve in surf. The deep double concave supports the round Vee with stability direct under foot, and last, the recessed pad gives comfort and stability. The flat deck makes it easy to move freely around when trimming the board and surfing on the tail.

A true high-performance all round paddle board. Available in some widths and two lenghts 12'6" and 14', and available in two technologies: Carbon Top & Lite Tech.

Carbon Top is the lightness you can feel:

• The best-lightest value ever
• Shoulder carry strap makes it easy and lighter to carry the board.
• Introducing light biaxial carbon on the deck mixed with a protective layer of low-weight fiberglass placement resulting in the lightness you can feel.
• Australian pine on standing area for extra impact resistant and rigidity.
• 2 x T-stringers on the full deck significantly increase strength against total breakage in waves. (Special on Generation board only)

The Generation is available in 3 widths:

• The 30” wide is the most stable option for heavier riders and those that want the most forgiveness in choppier conditions.
• The 28” width is the best combination of speed and stability, offering the best of both worlds.
• The 26” is more targeted at speed and efficiency, suited for lighter riders and high skilled riders that choose speed over stability.
