2024 Starboard LONGBOARD BLUE CARBON SANDWICH

UNDISPUTED AS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AWARD WINNING LONGBOARD SUP

• FEELS LIKE A SHORTER BOARD TO TURN
• MORE BITE AND CONTROL FROM THIN RAILS
• FASTER AN FORGIVING NOSE RIDING

What can you expect from the new shape?

• Faster and more forgiving nose riding performance, due to the combination of rocker and bottom shape, makes transitions from nose to tail flow naturally.
• The rails are radically thinner, giving more bite, control and response to maneuver between bottom to top turns. The board just wants to go where you look, with less pressure at ease.
• The nose outline combined with thinner profile reduces the swing weight in the nose for faster rotations through turns.
• With 5 sizes to choose from, with lengths from 9’0’, 9’5” and 10’0”, you can choose your volume and width to match your ability and rider weight.
• Now available in 3 different technology options: Blue Carbon for the lightest and strongest performance, while the Limited Series and Limited Red offer a fantastic value offering.

1.Thin

Special emphasis on thin, carving rails throughout the Longboard SUP was a main focus, allowing the new range to have true Longboard performance in a SUP design. The super thin nose and tail are some of the thinnest rails we have ever used on our boards to give the riders great performance in the waves.

2.Very Slight Domed Deck

The volume is fuller in the middle of the board to compensate for the fine rails, yet has been refined to maintain a moderate flat section for stability.

3.Fins

With a unique 5 degree fin angle, the Longboard SUP fin set up allows for playful performance and excellent drive on the wave. Our new Carbon Fins are the recommended fin of choice for the Longboard SUP as they give locked in carving performance in any wave condition. The Carbon fins were a stand out performance in the testing – a must try!

4.Bottom Shape

The slight nose concave helps carry the speed while improving the stability when riding the nose. Merging into a double concave midsection to engage rail to rail turning from the midpoint, feeding to a vee tail for snappy and quick maneuvers off the tail. The new bottom shape enhances the flow between transitions from nose to tail and feels more forgiving in the process.

5.Rocker

Moderate nose kick helps avoid the nose catching through turns, yet holds solid speed with toes on the nose. Similarly, the tail kick helps unlock the turning potential for that high performance surfing, making the board feel much snappier and shorter when on the tail.
