BLUE CARBON CONSTRUCTION

BLUE CARBON V2

• Be aware of running change from Blue Carbon to Blue Carbon V2. The running change is due to a short supply of balsa, resulting in a change to use high-density PET foam on the bottom. The Blue Carbon V.2 weight increases 200g in average.

• See the serial number of the boards built-in Blue Carbon V2 construction at the bottom of this page.

BLUE CARBON V2

• This high-density PET foam covers the full bottom for incredible impact resistance and fatigue strenght.

THE FIRST GOLD LEVEL

FOR BLUE CARBON V1

• The Blue Carbon board has an average emission of only 85 kg CO2 while the mangrove planted for each board produced absorb 1,000 kg of CO2 over 20 years.
• In short, one could say that the each Blue Carbon board capture 10 times more CO2 than it emits.
• Truly showcasing the intelligent use of natures own carbon capturing technology and how manufacturers can turn negatives to positives.

END-GRAIN BALSA

FOR BLUE CARBON V1

• By turning the balsa grains vertically within the sandwich structure, Starboard’s innovative end-grain sandwich connects the top and bottom faces with millions of vertical, honeycomb-like pillars.
• This high-density end-grain balsa covers the full bottom for incredible impact resistance and fatigue strenght.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT BIAXIAL CARBON

• Ultra lightweight 100g Biaxial Carbon is laminated over the entire deck and rails for the lightest weight, best strength ratio and most effcient flex.
• The Biaxial Carbon is the same as used on the Carbon Sandwich race tech, winning more World titles than any other tech.

HIGH DENSITY PET FOAM

Wraps the full deck and rails, minimising resin uptake and increasing the overall hull strength.

LIGHT S-GLASS

High-grade lightweight S-Glass wraps the full deck and bottom. S-Glass has a higher tensile strength than most carbon fibres and is over twice as strong as conventional glass. It also has a lower resin uptake resulting in a lighter weight.

MULTIPLE REINFORCEMENT

In the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.

EPS CORE

15 KG/M³ DENSITY

Shear resistant, fused and moulded individually to fit each and every Starboard board providing high strength at the lightest weight. Our moulded core technology produces zero EPS wastage.

WATER BASED DYE

REPLACING PU PAINT

• Impregnated paint pigment on the deck reduces weight and paint chips.
• Natural water based dye is used on the bottom, reducing harmful toxins.
