Starboard Pro Model
World Champion DNA. Built for Riders Who Push Limits.
The Starboard Pro is the board built for peak SUP surfing performance. Designed and refined at world-tour level, this model delivers radical snaps, explosive speed, and total control in steep, critical sections of the wave.
With ultra-thin rails, a refined outline, and a finely tuned bottom shape, the Pro responds instantly to rider input — allowing top-level progression whether you're carving clean point breaks or attacking fast beach breaks.
If you want a board that surfs like a performance shortboard — this is the one.
Why Riders Choose the Pro
The Pro range is unapologetically performance-driven. Every detail exists for one purpose: maximum control and speed in powerful surf.
-
Ultra-responsive feel
-
Fast rail-to-rail transitions
-
Drive, hold, and grip when pushing hard on the tail
-
Enough stability to maintain energy and create speed
This is the closest feeling to surfing a high-performance shortboard — just scaled to SUP.
Key Features
Performance Thin Rails
Super-thin nose rails reduce swing weight and increase pivot speed during turns. The midsection rails remain fuller to maintain drive and release, tapering again toward the tail for grip and confidence when laying the board over at speed.
Narrow Nose Profile
The pulled-in nose fits tightly into steep pockets, avoids catching, and allows confident late drops and tight hooks under the lip.
Five-Fin Setup
Choose how you want to ride:
-
Quad (4+1) for speed, looseness and drive down the line
-
2+1 thruster for tighter turns and increased pivot
-
Single + side bites for glide and flow
Updated fin angles enhance precision and adjustability.
Deck Shape
A mostly flat deck gives comfortable stance and stability in choppy conditions, with a slight dome tapering into the thin rails for rail sensitivity.
Rail Shape
A sharp edge from the tail forward past the fins ensures decisive bite and traction. From the midpoint forward, the rails soften — improving forgiveness and smooth transitions.
Bottom Contours
A tuned performance bottom:
-
Single concave for lift and speed
-
Blends to double concave for rail engagement
-
Finishes with a slight vee for responsive rail-to-rail release
Rocker Line
Balanced for power and control:
-
Moderate nose rocker prevents pearling and enables steep takeoffs
-
Fast midsection keeps the board accelerating
-
Tail kick unlocks snappy, fast, progressive turning
Squash Tail
The perfect combination of drive, pivot and hold — responsive in small waves and confident in larger, powerful surf.
Fin Systems
Every Pro comes with a 5-fin layout for maximum tuning options.
Acute Carbon models include Prepreg Carbon fins
Limited Series ships with Armacore fins
