Its standout shape does everything well, from riding small bumps to bigger ocean swells, touring or just getting into all round faster paddling. The Generation really is a fantastic shape for a large range of rider abilities, wanting to do it all. ”

“The real success of the composite Generation, it is a real swiss army knife. All of those qualities, somehow through some Starboard magic, have managed to carry all of that qualities over into an inflatable. So now, you have got an inflatable which perform just as well, almost as the compostie boards.”

For every board Starboard plants 3 mangrove trees with Worldview International Foundation.
Each tree absorbs 673kg of CO2 during its first 25 years.
50% of absorption goes towards offsetting this board & 50% is secured as carbon credits to fund livelihood projects in Myanmar.
The average emission from a Starboard board is 100 kg CO2.
By planting 3 trees per board we offset this 10 x over.
1.4 kg of trash is collected per board by starboard pop crews at beaches in Thailand & Myanmar.
Globally, an individual is responsible for 1.4 kg of plastic reaching the ocean every year.
Starboard balances this amount for our customers.
