"Fast and Fun" Based on our famous Touring 12'6'X30'', the Astro touring provides glide. It's 15.0 cm fast enough to win regional races. The generous volume allows paddling with extra luggage or children aboard. The Touring 14'0"X30" is simply faster, has more glide and stability. The Tandem at 16'0"X33" is yet another world first by Starboard. This two-person paddleboard makes the sport even more fun and sociable. All Touring boards use super stiff 6" drop-stitch materials. Extremely stable and fast, the Astro Touring and Tandem will glide wherever you want to go and beyond. Let a new adventure begin!

"Experience waterways through stability and glide like never before." So easy to use you might as well bring your fishing gear aboard and head for those secret spots. The Fisherman's extra-wide hull with high stabilizing rails and dug out mid-deck section offers an ultra-stable platform for paddling and windsurfing. Features like : drain channels, multiple tie-down positions, and ScottyTM Marine inserts (compatible with RAM and Scotty fishing rod mounting systems) make the Fisherman a revolutionary multi-purpose stand-up paddleboard. The board paddles straight through the water with its large fin area, yet turns on a dime due to its large flat mid-section. Everyone trying the Fisherman is seriously impressed by its speed as it's based on a race board bottom rocker curve. "Mono concave merging to a flat V"

"The world’s widest and most stable paddleboard by far." Big Daddy left us puzzling over where width limit of paddleboarding lies? What the Fisherman does well, Big Daddy does even better. "We built this board for my father, Arne, who was paddleboarding on a windsurfing hull some ten years ago, long before I heard of the sport. When he returned for a visit one recent winter we built him a full carbon super-light wide body board to allow him to enjoy sunset sessions at Lake Taco. At the age of 85 he had a ball and after we let others take it for a spin we were quickly convinced to put it into production." Svein Rasmussen "Mono concave merging to a flat V"

A fast, stable and exciting touring design with great tracking and stability. The low-riding nose is fully engaged when gliding over flat water and efficiently pierces small chop. The low nose produces an extended waterline creating extra glide which makes the Touring board very fast on flat water and able to accelerate quickly when catching bumps downwind. It's all together a whole new level of enjoyment and excitement. Front tie-downs are provided for a travel bag on the elevated nose area. The aft tie-downs also sit on a slightly raised area. The mid section is carefully sculpted for maximum comfort and sits slightly lower, giving the rider additional control and balance. The aft section features our original Startouch deck traction behind the deck pad on the Silver and Brushed Carbon editions. This 14'0" board feels extra fast, is light, turns easily and is an absolute pleasure to ride. Every trip on this stellar design is a moment to look forward to. Thanks to Brian Szymanski and Warren Currie for their design concept and input.

"The K-15 comes directly from one of the greatest designers of our time." The late Jim Drake is the designer of the X-15 rocket plane that has held the world record for the fastest manned aircraft since 1967. With victory in the most grueling long-distance race in 2010 - Holland's five-day 11-City Tour - the K-15 has proven itself the world's best all-round race board. It also won the Japanese race championships two years running and most of the events in the competitive Florida series. Extremely efficient, friendly and fast, the slightly rounded sleek underwater hull with a sharp nose provides a fantastic paddling sensation on flatter water. The shape also travels fast and smoothly in choppy water on all courses. It catches surf easily and you can walk back in the cockpit to lift the nose to fit any wave configuration. The water ventilation plugs are designed to allow you to open and close them with the touch of your fingertips. Keep them closed for flat-water paddling, open them for rough water adventures. There are insert plugs both fore and aft to tie down bags or even a storage box. The K-15 is also a fantastic light-wind windsurfing board....

"The fastest flat-water board." We truly enjoyed refining the nose and tail section of the Sprint range, believing a slender deflecting V nose would glide through flat water with noticeably lower resistance. The waterline length is maximized with a low-sitting nose rocker, while the flattened-out middle rocker enables the hull to maintain higher speeds over a longer time. The combination of all the small tweaks paid off and the final Sprint designs are clearly a faster flat-water range than anything we have ever built. The recessed standing area lowers the center of gravity and improves stability, making it possible to ride this narrower design with full power. The slender hull width also allows the paddle to pass closer to the center-line of the board, maximizing strokes per side, making each stroke more efficient and more balanced. A state-of-the-art full sandwich PVC, UD carbon technology is extra-stiff, light and super-durable.

"The proven fastest board design for choppy conditions becomes easier to surf and turn. New faster more slender models added." The history: The Ace concept is an amazing creation of Brian Szymanski. He started developing the ACE concept already back in 2009 and each year its becoming more evident that in choppy waters the ACE hull simply is the fastest hull around the course. Narrow hull, high walls and a NACA profile outline. A middle rocker line that glides insanely with a curved nose absorbing all chop. Annabel Anderson did not only finish second in the men's fleet in the New York marathon, she also beat all the French male participants in the French World Tour event in 2012 and that with a 6 minute margin. Bart De Zwart won the 11 city tour, the worlds most grueling race. The Ace wins practically everywhere in choppy conditions including independent tests. The new secrets: For 2013 we have integrated a full size cockpit making the ACE an easy board to turn around buoys, just move your back foot back for the full pivot turn. With the flatter and wider recessed deck, it also is comfortable to walk further...
