Introducing the New AIRIS® HardTop™, the World’s first Hybrid High-Pressure Stand-Up Paddle Board.

"Maximizes fun in less than perfect waves, but still able to handle some good size." A super fun board for those making their way down in length to a shorter board or for a larger person looking for a performance edge. The Converse maintains it’s characteristics of an easy board to paddle with good speed. Maneuverability and stability in a short length. This popular all-rounder, with the generous nose lift and a flatter midsection with tail kick, is for the generation and not containment of speed. “Mono concave running the entire length of the board”

"An all-new high-performance stable little rocket ship that's just a whole lot of fun." The original Pocket Rocket changed the perception of SUP short-boarding four years ago. The all-new 2013 Pocket Rocket’s outline has the width more forward, handling higher speed on bigger waves while providing excellent stability for its length. The mono-concave bottom hull provides instant acceleration and the turns are best described as electric. Four years of short-board experience is all packed into this board that excels in clean surf as well as in onshore and mushy conditions. "Mono-concave running the entire length of the board."

"A new Design for this incredibly successful shape which has won admirers the world over." This legendary Shape has been upgraded. Inspired to surf as a Hero? You will love this new version with even better turning abilities due to it’s refined rail shape and updated rocker line, keeping its unmatched stability in boards this size.

"The Starboard Wide Point range has expanded to include yet another performer." Offering short-board benefits in a full-size width, this 7’8” x 32” SUP is sure to impress. As the global love affair with stand-up continues apace this new addition offers benefits to many: stability through the proven Starboard Wide Point width teamed with amazing performance. Now this little dancer offers exciting moves that will have you eager t o throw the 7’8” x 32” in the car and head to the water for a paddle every morning. This is truly a SUP loaded with benefits. Many will find this offering simply too hard to refuse. So take hold and be prepared to be led in a SUP dance the like of which you never dreamed possible.

"The time has arrived to understand that width means stability, speed and power." The 8'2" x 32" is a new breed of board with its own signature move that found its place during testing on wave after wave. Holding the bottom turn a little shallower, then drawing a line to go into a heavy flowing cutback, this board just gauged and kept speed running with Starboard’s unique Wing Quad fin set-up. The dimensions are the miracle that offers certainty under foot and reliability when turning to take-off. Here is a board that will be enjoyed by all and certainly borrowed by your friends. Getting it back from them will be the only difficult thing you’ll find with this board. "Continuous single 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.”

"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”

"The 12'0" x 33" wide-body hull with voluminous middle rails creates a stable platform with good glide." The Atlas was inspired by our long-time friend Elling Balhald. He felt that despite Starboard having the world’s largest paddleboard offering, no shape was perfect for middle to heavy-weight new-comers to the sport wanting to explore coastlines, lakes, rivers and yet have a board to check out local breaks. The length and smooth rocker promotes good glide for riders at all levels. Generous nose kick and ample tail kick make it an easy board for catching waves. The thin nose profile helps keep the swing weight down. Deck inserts are provided on the nose of the board for gear storage. “Mono-concave merging to a flat V”
