“A high performance shape with forgiving stability.”

A stable and fast board with surprisingly good wave riding abilities from small shore break to clean overhead waves. This sweet shape catches surf easily and has a lifted nose rocker for secure takeoff’s in steeper waves. Despite a pointed nose, it has plenty of forward volume making it great to paddle out through white water. A favorite amongst our test team and the right choice for most people getting into surfing waves.

“Continuous mono-concave the entire length of the board.”

Our Brushed Carbon wave boards are up to 3kg lighter than our AST technology. The board construction ultra-light, flat-weave biaxial carbon and medium density high quality PVC sandwich foam wrapped around a light density EPS core. The first board construction in the world to utilize an ultra-light carbon fiber that is flat-weaved for total mechanical efficiency.

Starboard proudly introduces the strongest wood construction to date. The full 0.6mm Australian pine deck at a density of 510kg/m³ is combined with three-dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system. The volume created during expansion within the skin turns the lay-up into a stiff, durable, yet light sandwich construction.

AST technology features a light-weight EPS core and uses layers of three-dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system that creates volume within the skin as it cures under pressure. This creates a thick, stiff, durable, yet light-weight sandwiched laminate. A half-deck wood layer improves rigidity and deck impact resistance.
