Starboard Touring XTEC Carbon D2 2027

The Starboard Touring is the ultimate long-distance paddleboard. Suitable for all skill levels, it is designed to offer optimal glide to cover distances quickly, providing comfortable stability and the capacity to carry gear during your trek.

The Touring range draws inspiration from Starboard's race-winning board designs to deliver optimal glide, while its lowered center of gravity ensures stable paddling over long distances, with the added benefit of gear transport capability.

Its flat sides emulate the stability of a catamaran, while the straight central rocker ensures excellent glide. The specially designed and strategically placed space in front of the standing area lowers the center of gravity, delivering greater control and stability when carrying gear.

Key features of the Starboard Touring XTEC Carbon D2 2027:

• SPECIAL GEAR STORAGE RECESS: A safe, custom-designed gear storage area located in front of the standing area lowers the center of gravity, providing greater control and stability when carrying equipment.
• BUNGEE TIE-DOWN SYSTEM: Bungee tie-down straps on the nose keep your gear dry. An essential feature for long-distance expeditions and adventures. 
• SLIM AND SHARP NOSE:  Inspired by the Sprint model, its higher and squarer nose profile prevents sinking in choppy waters and reduces splash, allowing for a quiet and smooth glide. The slightly narrower outline at the tip facilitates a cleaner entry into the water, achieving a faster glide and increased efficiency.
• DEEP AND STRAIGHT CENTER CHANNEL: Improves straight-line tracking, allowing you to paddle longer on one side without needing to switch hands. The deep center channel smoothly channels water from nose to tail, generating lift and speed.
• BEVELED NOSE EDGE: Prevents water from wrapping around the nose, resulting in a more efficient stroke with less drag.
• INTEGRATED DRAINAGE CHANNEL: Helps channel water accumulated in the standing area toward the tail, allowing for quick evacuation.
• SWEPT-BACK FIN: Promotes better straight-line tracking.
• DEEPER STANDING AREA: Increases stability and control.
• VOLUMINOUS RAILS WITH BEVELED EDGE: Reduce board roll and keep water from entering the deck. The beveled edge increases both speed and stability.
• FLAT TAIL AND FLAT SIDE SURFACES: Allow for a cleaner, smoother water release, reducing wake and improving glide efficiency. The flat side surfaces significantly increase overall control and stability.
• LOW ROCKER: Extends the waterline, achieving a smoother, faster glide optimized for flat-water cruising.
• 2-IN-1 CARRY STRAP: Makes it easy to carry the board to the water and holds your paddle when not in use.
• BOARD SOCK INCLUDED: Reduces paper waste and protects your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made from stretchy polyester, it adapts to various board shapes and features a secure drawstring closure.
