Starboard Generation

One Board. Every Condition. Touring, Surfing and Racing in One Shape.

The Starboard Generation is designed to be the single board that does everything well. It blends touring efficiency, race-worthy glide and surf-friendly handling — making it one of the most versatile stand-up paddleboards ever produced.

Awarded SUPConnect’s Gear of the Year twice (2021 & 2023), the Generation is the true one-board quiver for paddlers who want to explore, cruise, train, surf and even race on the same platform.

Why Riders Choose the Generation

If you paddle in mixed conditions — flatwater, chop, ocean swell or small waves — the Generation adapts seamlessly. It’s fast enough to enter local races, stable enough for day-long touring and reactive enough to catch waves and carve.

Key Features

3-in-1 Performance Shape

A hybrid outline and rocker profile allow the Generation to accelerate quickly on flatwater, carve responsively in surf and maintain efficient glide on long touring sessions.

Controlled, Predictable Glide

A fairly parallel outline stabilises tracking and helps maintain speed. The refined square tail improves handling while giving sharp, precise control during buoy turns and surf manoeuvres.

Round Vee Bottom

A round vee hull provides lift and speed while smoothing out chop. A deep double concave beneath the standing area adds stability directly underfoot.

Thruster-Ready Tail

The board includes thruster fin boxes, allowing surf-style responsiveness and increased drive on the wave. The tail design gives reliable carving and fast rail engagement in surf environments.

Gradual Nose Kick

The nose lifts cleanly over chop and prevents pearling when dropping into waves or paddling downwind, making the board capable across changing water states.

Rail Design

• Rounded forward rails eliminate nose catches

• Sharper mid-rail creates a stable platform

• Defined rail edge at the tail gives precision and bite through turns

Balanced Rail Thickness

A slightly thinner profile than a full touring or raceboard makes the Generation easier to carry, lighter underfoot and more agile on the wave.

Recessed Standing Area

Lower centre of gravity improves comfort and stability. The flat standing zone gives freedom to step, trim weight and surf the tail.

Bungee Storage

Positioned forward of the stance area for convenient access when carrying dry bags, jackets or touring essentials.

2-in-1 Shoulder Strap

Fitted on Blue Carbon models and available separately on others. Allows hands-free transport and paddle storage while walking.

Fin Setup

A thruster fin layout provides versatility across conditions. Blue Carbon models include 5.5” Armacore side fins. Lite Tech and Rhino models ship with a single 8" Net Positive centre fin.

Board Sock Included

Protects the board and reduces packaging waste. Stretch-fit polyester with drawstring closure.
