The Blue Carbon Sandwich Technology we pioneered in SUP 11 years ago has been gradually improved year by year, delivering the fastest & most reactive race machines. Carbon sandwich combines the superior strength and stiffness properties of carbon fiber and PVC foam. This is our premium construction used in the world’s most successful models.
The Race boards feature a full PVC standing and full PVC bottom, optimizing reinforcements in the critical areas to keep the weight as light as possible.
The Surf boards feature a full PVC sandwich wrap over the deck, rail and bottom for maximum total breakage strength.
Super light-weight 100g biaxial carbon is laminated over the standing area and full bottom, while the stronger 150g Biaxial carbon wraps the nose and rail and the best strength ratio and efficient flex.
The mid-section of the board has stiffer UD carbon side stringers to maintain the rocker in the critical area, thus optimizing glide.
High-density PVC is used in the standing area and full bottom, reducing resin uptake and maximizing strength.
Super light-weight 100g biaxial carbon is laminated over the full board, giving the best strength and weight ratio available.
Thin high-density PVC wraps the entire board for maximum total breakage strength, while creating a hard impact resistant shell.
An extra layer of 160g glass is laminated on the bottom for added durability and impact resistance.
Paint pigment is infused into the resin during lamination, resulting in a lighter weight board, eliminates paint chipping and reduces the release of harmful paint toxins.
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.
An extra layer of 160g glass is laminated on the bottom for added durability and impact resistance.
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.
