Touring Inflatable

“Pioneer Everywhere”

 

“EVERYTHING AN INFLATABLE TOURING PADDLE BOARD SHOULD BE.”

~ SUPBoarder Magazine

 

“THIS PADDLE BOARD IS PACKED WITH MORE FEATURES AND MANUFACTURING FINESSE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.”

~ German SUP magazine

 

The overall balanced glide experience and Deluxe features are what have made Starboard’s Touring boards become the world’s highest-rated by magazines and happy customers worldwide.

 

The narrow nose helps to shed water and makes you feel that ultimate glide sensation. The straighter midsection improves board stability and with the wider tail, you can step back more easily to perform a steady and balanced turn. Experience the Starboard difference even before entering the water, these lightweight paddle boards feature the trademark Starboard shoulder carry strap which allows you to effortlessly carry it to the water, with both hands-free!

 

Before you get on board, you can secure yourself with the included flat lightweight leash, paddle safely and comfortably knowing your board is a life raft. The Deluxe Double Chamber model even has a water bottle with a patented magnetic self-attaching attachment innovation. Thinking about double chambers, Starboard invented and introduced this stiffening and security concept back in 2014.

“The Starboard Touring Deluxe 12’6” epitomises what a real touring iSUP should do. The Deluxe Touring board can carry lots of weight and is shaped for easy paddling and good speed. And having Starboard’s Double Chamber technology in it too, makes the board the safest inflatable board the market has ever seen… good job Starboard!”

TESTED 12’6″ TOURING

Hello All, I purchased the 12’6″ Touring Board Deluxe Double Chamber a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to share my opinion on this board.

First of all, it is the MOST rigid inflatable I’ve ever been on (by far!). The stability of the board is just as good as any regular hardboard I’ve been on. The tracking is amazing… I can get 10 strokes on each side easily. The board slices through the water. No bobbing up and down in chop.

I know the Double Chamber is mainly for safety, but I actually think it adds to the rigidity of the board itself since that’s where you stand. Also, the Pump is the BEST. I actually use the Starboard pump for everything now. Cuts the time in half.

This is the BEST board I have ever been on.

I just wanted to say thank you for making a superior product. So many people have asked me about my board since I got it. So long for now… I’m out for another afternoon adventure. Thanks again!!!
