Starboard Pro Limited Series 2024

The Starboard Pro Limited Series 2024 brings new shapes to improve performance in the waves.

Designed and developed in Portugal with the Starboard team riders: Franz Orsi, Benoit Carpentier, Leonard Nika, Trevor Tunnington, Claudio Nika and Daniel Hasuylo, the Pro is even more surfer, with excellent wave performance. From the smallest, the 7'5", which is a slimmer model with less volume, to the 9'0", all measurements have been redesigned with these new features:

• The new shape provides more speed to set up and complete maneuvers, more grip on turns in bigger waves and more response in all sections.
• The new rocker is more forgiving on steep takeoffs, the flatter stance feels stiffer, and the new fin positions give you more control and drive through turns.
• The thinner nose profile reduces swing weight for more radical movements, the thinner tail provides more speed and response in turns.
• The new size range is slightly longer in length, with a smaller 6'10" model only available in Blue Carbon Pro for lighter and more experienced riders.

Sizes:

• 9'0"x30" The largest in the Pro shape, the 9’0” remains a favourite for heavier riders up to 120 kg. The new outline is faster generating speed, and easier to rotate through turns as it has reduced swing weight. A great option if you want max stability with pro surfing performance.
• 8'7"x29.5" It retains the same dimensions, yet feels more stable and less corky from the flatter deck. The fine rails and sharp squash tail hold well in the bigger surf, allowing you to feel more in control to push harder on your bottom turns! Slightly flatter tail rocker and pulled in nose translates into a faster down the line speed.
• The 8'2"x29" replaces the previous 8’0", extending the length to catch waves that bit earlier and to hold its line in steeper drops. The 8’2“ at 115 L will be highly popular for riders up to 95 kg, bridging the gap between the much loved 8’5” in previous years the 8‘0" of last. The new fin position gives you the needed bite and manoeuvrability, coupled with drive through turns!
• 7'10"x28" At 100L, the new 7’10” is slightly thinner yet longer than the previous 7‘7", making the float feel less corky despite the reduced volume. The added length and narrower nose aids late entry in hollower waves, giving you more speed to confidently make critical sections. Squash tail feels smooth and secure when you drive off the bottom and hit the lip!
• 7'5"x26.75" Feeling like a surfboard, the 7‘5” was a hit among testers for its ability to float riders up to 80 kg, yet turn heads in performance! The narrow nose wants to whip through turns and allows you to sit deep in the pocket of waves. The higher nose rocker feels more forgiving, while the thin rails nose and tail feel ultra-responsive to foot pressure.

The Limited Series version is the best-selling and recommended for most people, but there is also the Pro Blue Carbon Pro version for those looking for maximum performance, with two extra sizes available: 7'0"x24" and 6'10"x24".
