2024 Starboard SPICE BLUE CARBON

A QUIVER KILLER THAT BLENDS PERFORMANCE AND FUN IN ONE

• 
  
  • NEW 7’4″ x 27″ and 6’9″ x 24.5″

  • The Spice is a wave range that gives you incredible rail carving, impressive speed through sections and instant drive out of turns.

  • The design brief focused on offering more performance and progression than the Wedge, while being more user-friendly and forgiving than the Pro.

  • The unique bevelled rail shape makes turning both ultra-responsive and easy. The slightest foot pressure and the board just rolls in the direction you want to go. The rails are super fine both in the nose and tail, reducing the swing weight through your turns and giving you direct response when applying pressure on the tail.

  • The all wave performance of the Spice allows it to handle a range of conditions, from small beach breaks to overhead point breaks. The Spice was developed in Portugal with shaper Luis “Lacrau”, where it was put to test by a number of riders in a range of conditions.

  • From bevelled thin rails, wing tail, concave bottom shape, the design elements that make up this board work in harmony, giving you a ride that syncs speed, power and flow.

  • Quad and thruster options lets you choose which tricks to pull.

  • From light to heavy, enthusiasts to pros, the Spice range offers a size for all.

• INCREDIBLE RAIL CARVING, IMPRESSIVE SPEED, INSTANT DRIVE

  1.Pointed Nose Tip – Pierces through waves and reduces swing weight through turns.

  2.Full Nose Outline – Provides stability and extends the rail line for faster speeds.

  3.Parallel Mid-Section – Helps engage the rail for good speed down the line.

  4.Slight Domed Deck – Helps keep rails fine and gives enough float in the centre buoyancy of the board.

  5.Wing Tail – Creates a break in the rail line, maintaining stability forwards, while narrowing behind the wing to offer much more manoeuvrability.

  6.Round Pin Tail – Offers good drive and hold in bigger surf, yet good stability and manoeuvrability. The round pin complements the looseness generated from the wing tail.

  7.Thin Tapered Rail Profile Nose – Helps reduce swing weight from the nose to enhance manoeuvrability and speed through turns.

  8.Thicker Mid-Section – Provides float and carries speed down the line and momentum through smaller surf.

  9.Rocker – Smooth rocker has gradual nose and tail kick, offering the right combination of paddle speed and manoeuvrability. The nose rocker prevents the nose diving getting into waves and from catching through turns, while the tail rocker helps lift the nose to pivot.

  10.Thinning At The Tail – For maximum response, bite and control when stepping back.

  11.Bottom Shape – Single concave provides lift and speed, feeding through to a double midsection and slight vee at the tail to manoeuvre and rock from rail to rail.

  12.5 Fin Option – Allows for quad, thruster and twin fin with small centre nubster. You can choose your preferred fin set up based on riding style and wave conditions. All models are supplied with a quad set up with 4.7 front and 4.5 rears. The angles of the fins are updated, with more outward splay on the front fins for greater manoeuvrability with less angle in the rear for greater drive through turns.

BLUE CARBON

LIGHTWEIGHT, STRONG AND DURABLE, 2X CARBON STRINGER

• Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire board, joining with an overlap on the deck and bottom to create flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength.

• 2 skins of durable fibre glass form a sandwich around the biaxial Carbon, protecting the carbon by dampening and absorbing the impact.

• The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom work together to increase the overall total breakage strength.

• Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.
