"Greater response while maintaining a high level of stability." This 32” full mono-concave hull with flattened rocker in the middle section and added tail kick is fast and boasts bags of acceleration. The relatively fine rails provide greater reactivity and response in rail-to-rail transitions. This year’s shape is dramatically improved and now sports 4.7” side fins and a 170cm middle fin. “Mono-concave the entire length of the board.”

"A favorite among our test team for its high-performance shape and forgiving stability." A stable and fast board with surprisingly good wave riding abilities, from small shore break to clean overhead waves. This sweet shape catches surf easily and has a lifted nose rocker for a secure take-off into steeper waves. Despite a pointed nose it has plenty of forward volume making it great to paddle out through waves.The right choice for most people getting into wave riding. “Continuous mono-concave the entire length of the board.”

"A board designed to quickly and easily master the art of wave riding." The Whopper Extra draws on the stability and wave riding characteristics of the Hero and Whopper, but takes it to a new level. The relatively long hull takes off extremely quick on a wave, but the rocker and outline still allows it to turn well. It paddles straight and fast for its size. The width makes it incredibly stable even in the most marginal conditions; while paddling out through the waves and while catching waves. The board turns surprisingly well because it retains full stability while moving far back to the tail to turn. The thin rails create smooth carving and the extra nose kick prevents nose-diving. If you want to cheat gravity, this is the board for you. "Mono-concave nose section to flat middle and tail V"

"Smooth fun turns with a magical stability to it." Updated in 2012, the Wide Point has added drive through turns created by its flatter single concave middle section. The widened nose and tail makes the board more stable paddling through surf and the thinner rails increase the carving ability. It has plenty of nose kick to prevent pearling in takeoffs, yet the overall flatter rocker allows the board to glide and catch waves easily. “Mono-concave merging to double concave just at the tail”

"Developed with Nikki Gregg especially for fitness training." "Six years ago when I stepped onto a stand-up paddleboard for the first time and then pioneered the first SUP fitness program, I could never have imagined it would become so popular. Now, there are SUP fitness certifications, SUP fitness classes, and a new trend towards 'on board' fitness training all over the globe. I approached Starboard about developing a fitness specific model a few years ago and what came about is the NRG Fitness board: extremely light-weight and loaded with features, such as multiple tie-down points, paddle attachment system and full EVA deck pad. The first thing I notice when someone picks up the carbon board is their wide-eyed disbelief at how light the board is. Check it out for yourself!"

"The bigger sister of our famous 10'5" NRG." Team rider Nikki Gregg’s signature 10’5’’ NRG Fitness board just acquired a bigger sister, the 11’2’’ NRG. This amazing fitness training platform, with extra length and volume, features an enhanced stability and glide. The 11’2’’ offers uncompromised all-round precision and agility on the wave. The proficient surfer will experience thrilling long-board style surfing, while the novice rider will benefit from the generous 168 L with plenty of stability to exercise, cruise around or learn to surf.

“An ultra-stable ride with good glide and fun downwind characteristics.” Inspired by the popular Atlas, the Atlas Extra provides additional stability and features a race rocker in the aft section of the board which provides good glide and ample nose kick for downwinders in choppy waters. Relative to its width, it feels nimble and tracks well. Deck inserts are provided on the nose of the board for gear storage. Thanks to our friend Eric Williams for the inspiration to create a beautiful hull suiting people with heavier bones or those wanting to tour with a lot of gear. “Mono-concave merging to a flat V”
