Starboard TallTwin Carbon Reflex

The TallTwin merges two worlds: the speed and looseness of a TwinFin combined with the glide and effortless noseriding of a longboard. As a faster, more agile alternative to the traditional longboard, it offers higher speed, freer turns, and less drag in similar conditions. Fast and loose through turns, smooth on the glide, and stable on the nose, it combines modern performance with classic style.

The high-performance Carbon Reflex construction stands out for providing maximum response, controlled flex, and rapid recoil for a light, responsive feel underfoot. Its EPS core is wrapped with thermoformed PVC rail stringers to add strength without sacrificing flexibility, while 45° biaxial carbon optimizes energy reload when springing out of turns. Complemented by 0.6 mm Australian pine to protect the standing area against heel impacts and full carbon reinforcements in key areas, this structure achieves high durability and structural strength while maintaining an extremely low weight.

Starboard TallTwin Features:

• TWINFIN SPEED, LONGBOARD GLIDE: Combines the acceleration and release of a TwinFin setup with the glide and noseriding stability of a longboard, all built into a progressive platform
• MODERN HIGH-PERFORMANCE LONGBOARD: A looser tail, reduced drag, and faster acceleration deliver a more dynamic and responsive feel than traditional 2+1 setups
• DESIGNED TO EXPAND YOUR STYLE: Built for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for extra speed, freedom, and expressiveness without sacrificing glide or time on the nose
• TYPICAL LONGBOARD LENGTH & NOSE OUTLINE: Provides smooth glide, cross-stepping stability, seamless movement on the board, and confidence when noseriding, even in softer or slower waves
• TWINFIN-INSPIRED TAIL: Generates a faster, looser feel with earlier release, enabling tighter arcs and a more dynamic turning style
• FLATTER NOSE ENTRY: Maintains glide and stability while moving forward, helping hold speed and control during noserides
• VEE CONCAVE TOWARDS THE TAIL: Enhances rail-to-rail transitions, making turns easier to initiate and flow seamlessly on a longer board
• SIDE HIP & MOON TAIL: Narrows the tail behind the fins to allow faster pivot turns, effortless directional shifts, and agile turning response
• TWINZ FIN SETUP: Two large side fins reduce drag for higher top-end speed, solid drive, and controlled tail release through carves
• OPTIONAL "NUBSTER" CENTER FIN: Adds extra grip and tracking for bigger waves, heavier riders, or anyone seeking added control when turning or on the nose
• CENTER BOTTOM CHANNEL: Generates lift and speed while providing natural tracking, reducing reliance on a large center fin and keeping the board fast and nimble
