2 year of winning the best performance surf shape awarded by SUPBoarder Magazine, the PRO is now upgraded to the next level.
The completely new design gives more speed to set up and complete maneuvers, more hold through bottom turns in bigger surf and greater response.
New rocker is more forgiving on steeper drops, flatter deck feels less corky and new fin positions refine the control and drive through turns.
Thinner nose profile reduces swing weight for more radical snaps, thinner tail gives more bite and response through turns.
Reduces swing weight from nose, increasing pivot speed through turns.
Extends the rail line, making it easier to paddle into waves and holding on steeper drops.
Single concave provides lift and speed, feeding through to a double midsection and slight vee at the tail to manoeuvre and rock from rail to rail.
Rocker provides faster speed down the line and into turns.
Are kept fine with a more pinched and rolled tuck edge, giving bite, control and speed through maneuvers
At the tail gives more bite and control.
Offers more comfort and feels less corky.
Give the most versatile performance in all wave types, particularly holding in bigger surf.
The 5 fin option allows for quad, thruster and twin fin with small centre nubster. You can choose your preferred fin set up based on riding style and wave conditions.
All models are supplied with a thruster set up with 4.7 front 120/140 center on bigger sizes. The angles of the fins are updated, with more spray in the front fins for greater manoeuvrability with less angle in the rear for greater drive through turns.
PERFORMANCE YOU CAN FEEL
The new, ultra-light carbon surf fins will enhance your performance in the waves, providing more drive, stronger grip, and faster speed out of turns. (comes only with Blue carbon board)”
• Based on the world-proven and award-winning Carbon Sandwich construction, the Blue Carbon Pro 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.
• 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.
• The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom work together to increase the overall total breakage strength.
• Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.
Length: 9’6” / 290 cm
Width: 27” / 67 cm
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 slight vee at the tail help you harness the speed for controlled bottom turns.
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon
Length: 9’0” / 274 cm
Width: 30” / 76 cm
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.
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon Pro
• Limited Series
Length: 8’7″ / 262 cm
Width: 29.5″ / 75 cm
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! Slightly flatter tail rocker and pulled in nose translates into a faster down the line speed.
Available construction:
• Blue Carbon Pro
• Limited Series
Length: 8’2” / 249 cm
Width: 29” / 74 cm
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!
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon Pro
• Limited Series
Length: 7’10” / 239 cm
Width: 28” / 71 cm
The new 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!
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon Pro
• Limited Series
Length: 7’5″ / 226 cm
Width: 26.75″ / 68 cm
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.
Available construction:
• Blue Carbon Pro
• Limited Series
Length: 7’0” / 213 cm
Width: 24” / 61 cm
The new 7’0″ shape feels amazing, really reactive and definitely more high performance”-Benoit Carpentier. Between rail shape, outline and fin position, the 70″ delivers more control in bigger surf and carries it flow to link manoeuvres. Leonard Nika loved the feeling of the new model, giving confidence to improve and progress his surfing to the next level!
Available constructions:
• Blue Carbon Pro
Length: 6’10” / 208 cm
Width: 24” / 61 cm
Tested and approved by one of Japan’s top riders, Riki Horikoshi, the 6’10” is the smallest Pro model at 61 L, ideal for high skilled and lightweight riders. The narrow nose outline, thin rails and increased rocker over the predecessor 6’8″ contribute to more control, speed and response. A flatter deck gives you increased comfort and stability. “The new 6’10” is the best board I have ever used! A lot of Japanese riders want to use this new model” ~ Riki Horlkoshi

For every board sold, Starboard plants 3 mangrove trees with Worldview International Foundation. Each Mighty Mangrove sinks down 673kg of VCS certified CO2 during its first 25 years.
Together, our 3 mangroves offset the boards Carbon Emissions 10 X over and fund local livelihoods projects in Myanmar.
The Pro has an average carbon footprint of 91.3 kg per board.
Buy a board and we pick up 1.1 kg of beach/ ocean plastic trash – equivalent to the amount of plastic trash entering the ocean, per person, per year. Starboard balances this amount for our customers.
