The standing area has a 0.6 mm Australian pine veneer layer for extra strength.
* With superior impact resistance, it is the technology of choice for those looking for durability and strength.

GOLETA BEACH WEST END :: BRING YOUR OWN PADDLE :: BYOP
In this era (error…;-) of cheap knockoff import SUP boards being built by POSERS that don’t standup paddle, do demos, lessons, events…host races…INNOVATE…etc…
QUALITY MATTERS…
STARBOARD = INNOVATION + QUALITY…
We manufactured the first molded epoxy sandwich SUP’s in the world…the construction was based on what we had learned from decades of work on epoxy sandwich sailboards…
Many of the companies that we represent in our shop have this sophisticated background…and, have been able to produce sailboards that go over 40mph and jump/land in waves to 40′-50′…and, survive…
Starboard has set the pace in board technology for over a decade. Last season winnings includes the first World Cup of SUP in Hamburg Germany, the Ohau to Molokai race, the British series, the Australian events and several class victories in the Battle of The Paddle.
Starboard is holding the speed record for wind powered sail crafts at 49.09 knots and has been winning the Professional Windsurfer Association’s manufacturers ranking 4 years in a row. Starboard introduced precision molded wood veneer “Green” boards back in 1995 and brought the first EVA deck grip surf and windsurf boards to the market the same year.
Starboard is taking the lead in the whole wide and short board revolution in Stand Up Paddleboarding and already last year brought the stand on top Kayak concept to the market with integration of kayaking and Windsurfing.
We are proud to work with Jim Drake who not only designed the currently fastest manned plane, the X15, 40 years ago, the Starboard K15 last year, but also co-invented windsurfing back in 1967. Thanks also to our watermen/designers Scott McKercher, Svein Rasmussen, Brian Szymanski and Peter Cox.
Despite a strong history, Starboard acknowledges that really only the future counts and puts more resources into development than ever before.
Backside drop with a wave that’s bad to da bone…Starboard ZEN…calm in the eye of the storm…no worries…
