Alrighty then…it’s now official…Winter is over and Spring has sprung…

We’ve been going strong all Winter long and are now roaring into Spring with the 2011 Starboard SUP lineup (37 board models)…

Of course, we have these boards in stock at our showroom, and warehouses, ready to ship to you and for you to check out in person…unlike, the plethora of virtual dealers that are popping up online with only a postage stamp sized click & buy image that they are trying to sell you…they may as well try to sell you air…;-)



In addition to having over 150 of the best boards in stock for you to choose from…we also provide the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE of any board company and have established the benchmark, and held that standard, while other shops and online garage ventures have come and gone over the last 12 years…

In addition to the best selection and customer service in the industry…our knowledge base of the products we sell is unmatched…in fact, we’ve forgotten more about the Starboard SUP product line than our competitors have even attempted to learn…;-)

We have a cross-section of some of the new 2011 Starboard SUP’s at the shop…including the new 8’10″ x 32″ “Wide Point”…quad +1, that I had a hand in designing…

I patterned my metallic silver surfboards and sailboards after the “Silver Surfer”…so when I suggested it to Svein, the owner of Starboard, for the 2011 line of SUP’s…he was all over it…we’re stoked that most of our recommendations were implemented…

The Starboard 2011 SUP lineup is leading the way…the rest of the line, and the new catalog, will be unveiled shortly…here’s a sneak peak…

Starboard’s lead board designer, Scott Mckercher, posted up this sequence of high def video frame grabs of fellow Starboard team rider, Dave Muir, in this dredging barrel ride (click image to enlarge)…both of these guys are from Western Australia where this gnarly, and looney, deep pit lives…Scotty confirmed that Dave got swatted at the end…all in a hard day’s work testing 2011 Starboard SUP’s…more on that later…;-)
