THE WIDE RIDE WITH REAL GLIDE

Wide Ride has a surf ‘n cruise paddle board size for all rider weights and abilities; the bigger models produce the easiest glide and stability, while the smaller sizes deliver more control and manoeuvrability. Wide Ride: the wave-ripper for real-world riders!

THIN RAILS ON WIDE BOARDS

You will sense the trademark thin rails biting into the wave just like a smaller board and let you manoeuvre off the top and in bottom turns in ways not expected.
The thin rails mean you need less effort to turn on the rail, as there is less volume holding the board back from sinking into the turn.

SHORT NOSE OUTLINE

Makes it easier to pivot turn and fit in the critical section of the wave without catching the nose.

NOSE KICK

Prevents the nose from diving when getting into waves and paddling in choppy water.

FLAT ROCKER

In the center provides efficient glide and speed on flats.

FLAT STANDING AREA

Allows to have a wider stance for extra stability in chop.

MODERATE TAIL KICK

Allows for tighter turning when standing back on the tail.

WIDE ROUNDED TAIL

Improves stability when stepping on the board to turn. It also gives release out of turns.

MONO TO DOUBLE CONCAVE BOTTOM

Provides speed to catch the wave and then has sensitive rail-to-rail turning from the midpoint.

CHANNEL TAIL

Makes it easier to carry speed and hold through maneuverers.

SIDE FIN BOXES

Are positioned closer to the rail for quicker response in turns. Minimal change yet a big improvement.

FIN SET UP

Thruster fin set up provides comfortable straight-line tracking on flat and gives drive and control in surf.

Pocket Rocket allows both thruster and quad set up. Quad fin set up uses 4 side fins and gives fast acceleration and instant down the line speed as it does not have a drag from the larger centre fin.

WINDSURF OPTION

The SUP Windsurfing range offers a great choice for sharing windsurfing and paddle boarding with friends and family. They glide with ease, very different from anything we have offered in the past. Starboard brought home 11 out of 12 PWA constructor titles over the last 12 years and we love getting more people into windpowered fun.

Only available on 10’0″ x 34″ Whopper ASAP WS

WINDSURF FIN BOX

On ASAP WS constructions.

US center fin box positioned towards the middle, which gives great upwind control and improves the ease of learning Windsurfing and wingboarding.

BLUE CARBON

THE BEST VALUE FULL CARBON CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE EVER PRODUCED

• 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.

STARLITE

THE STRONGEST RAIL EVER TESTED

• Ultra-durable, scratch and impact resistant woven 200g twill azure rail protection.

• The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom to protect against total breakage. The T-stringers are positioned close to the rail working like an i-beam to endure heavy drops and strong wipeouts.

• Starlite now features a full deck of 0.6mm Australian pine wood which is sandwiched between 2 glass outer skins, increasing the overall total breakage strength and reducing the weight due to lower resin absorption.

ASAP

AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE

  • Multiple layers of high-grade fiberglass are wetted out in epoxy resin wrapping the hull.
  • Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity.

RHINO

AS TOUGH AS IT GETS

  • Built to last, Rhino is the most durable and hardwearing technology designed for schools and clubs.
  • The entire board is wrapped in a thick, tough thermoplastic polymer ABS skin, offering an ultra strong impact resistance and durable shell.
  • The full rail is wrapped with a 0.7mm thick rail band to further protect the rails against impact.
  • Full EVA deck makes it forgiving and comfortable to move around.
  • A tow hole in the nose makes it easy to tow the boards and makes it easy to lock multiple boards together.
