2025 Starboard Pro Paddleboard

Designed as a step-up model for surfing big waves. The narrower nose outline optimises speed so you can race down the wave face and escape white water in critical sections. The pin tail angles are straighter for increased speed and drive. Thin rails and a slight vee at the tail help you harness the speed for controlled bottom turns.

Remains a favourite for heavier riders up to 120 kg. The new outline is faster generating speed and easier to rotate through turns as it has reduced swing weight. A great option if you want max stability with pro surfing performance.

The 8’7″ retains the same dimensions, yet feels more stable and less corky from the flatter deck. The fine rails and sharp squash tail hold well in the bigger surf, allowing you to feel more in control to push harder on your bottom turns! A slightly flatter tail rocker and pulled-in nose translates into a faster down-the-line speed.

The 8’2″ replaces the previous 8’0″, extending the length to catch waves that bit earlier and to hold its line in steeper drops. The 8’2″ at 118 L will be highly popular for riders up to 95kg. The new fin position gives you the needed bite and manoeuvrability, coupled with drive-through turns!

The 7’10” is slightly thinner yet longer than the previous 7’7″, making the float feel less corky despite the reduced volume. The added length and narrower nose aids late entry in hollower waves, giving you more speed to confidently make critical sections. Squash tail feels smooth and secure when you drive off the bottom and hit the lip!

Feeling like a surfboard, the 7’5″ was a hit among testers for its ability to float riders up to 80kg, yet turn heads in performance! The narrow nose wants to whip through turns and allows you to sit deep in the pocket of waves. The higher nose rocker feels more forgiving, while the thin rails nose and tail feel ultra-responsive to foot pressure.

Unleash your potential in bigger, hollower waves with the groundbreaking 7’2” Pro model. This board, requested by Zane Schweitzer and Benoit Carpentier, takes performance to new heights. Featuring dimensions of 2″ longer and half an inch narrower than the World Championship-winning 7’0”x24” Pro model, it excels in steep drops and barrel riding. The narrower outline ensures faster speeds, while the pulled-in rounded pin tail with super thin rails provides effortless bottom turns and solid control in challenging surf.

The 7’0″ shape feels amazing, really reactive and more high performance”-Benoit Carpentier. Between rail shape, outline and fin position, the 7’0″ delivers more control in bigger surf and carries it flow to link manoeuvres. Leonard Nika loved the feeling of the new model, giving the confidence to improve and progress his surfing to the next level!

LIGHTEST AND STRONGEST

• Based on the world proven and award-winning Carbon Sandwich construction, the Blue Carbon Sandwich features a full PVC wrap and the lightest 100g biaxial carbon fiber in the market.
• Highest grade 100g biax carbon wraps the full deck, rail and bottom.
• Thin high-density PVC wraps the entire board with an extra-strong PET standing reinforcement reduces resin uptake and increases the overall strength.
• The sensational lightweight increases carving ability and acceleration.

LIGHTWEIGHT, STRONG AND DURABLE, 2X CARBON STRINGER

• Built in a custom surf technology, the Gun uses a higher density EPS core for greater total breakage strength to handle bigger surf.
• 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.
• Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.

TIMELESS LOOK, SOLID PERFORMANCE

• Twin T-stringers made from glass fibre are positioned on the deck and bottom of the board close to the rail, providing a massive increase in the overall strength against total breakage in surf.
• An additional wide layer of 200g glass wraps the rails for higher strength against paddle impact and further reinforces the overall strength against buckling.
• The deck features reinforced biaxial glass and Australian pine, to resist heel dents and impact from the standing area.
• The nose and tail are wrapped in multiple layers of glass fiber for further strength on these impact zones.
