LONGBOARD SUP 2023


An evolution of the classic surf shape. Smooth, stylish, simple



High-performance Longboard paddle board that is versatile, incredibly responsive and smooth to turn.

 

This stand up paddleboard is inspired by our legendary Starboard Surf Longboard model, designed to perform in waves from 1ft small beach breaks to head-high reef breaks. The boards offer fast down-the-line surfing, as well as the ability to perform in the critical section of the wave. These cutting-edge shapes are totally well received by our team riders and anyone who have tested them.







LOW VOLUME THINNED OUT RAILS

• Easily engage with minimal foot pressure, giving control down the wave face and hold through steeper sections of the wave.

 

• Ultra-responsive and sensitive to turn direction with speed and control.



PARALLEL OUTLINE

Parallel straight outline in the midpoint provides a smooth fast glide that is easy to trim the board.


GRADUAL NOSE KICK

Ensures a smooth take-off into waves without pearling.

FULLER NOSE OUTLINE

Gives enough float and stability to ride toes on the nose for classic Longboard styling.

RELATIVELY FLAT MIDSECTION

Delivers speed feeding into a moderate tail kick for responsive turning.

FLAT DECK

Flat deck improves stability and makes transitioning effortless from rail-to-rail allowing for drawn-out carves.

NARROW DIAMOND TAIL

Is extremely reactive in bottom turns.

DOUBLE CONCAVE

• Allows the board to roll onto its rail effortlessly to turn direction from the standing area.

• The pronounced vee tail makes turning very crisp and reactive, essential for fast bottom turns and of the top.

FIN POSITION

• After testing multiple fin positions, we chose to place the side fins very close to the rail. This enables carving with precision and hold through turns, while the center fin position gives tracking and drive.

• Can also be surfed as a single fin.

Board Constructions

STARLITE

THE STRONGEST RAIL EVER TESTED

• Ultra-durable, scratch and impact resistant woven 200g twill azure rail protection.

• The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom to protect against total breakage. The T-stringers are positioned close to the rail working like an i-beam to endure heavy drops and strong wipeouts.

• Starlite now features a full deck of 0.6mm Australian pine wood which is sandwiched between 2 glass outer skins, increasing the overall total breakage strength and reducing the weight due to lower resin absorption.

BLUE CARBON

THE BEST VALUE FULL CARBON CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE EVER PRODUCED

• Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire board, joining with an overlap on the deck and bottom to create flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength.

• 2 skins of durable fibre glass form a sandwich around the biaxial Carbon, protecting the carbon by dampening and absorbing the impact.

• The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom work together to increase the overall total breakage strength.

• Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.
