2 wider models providing greater stability, the crossover is now available as a long-distance touring option.
The 14’0″ x 27.5″ Sprint is designed for riders up to 110 kg who want solid stability and great speed.
The Sprint 14’0″ x 29.5″ is designed for riders weighing up to 120 kg and seeking ultra-stability for long distance adventures.
Both new sizes offer a recessed bag storage area in front of the standing area with bungee tie downs to carry gear and supplies for ultra-distance races and long exploration paddles.
The two larger sizes of the Sprint are designed to crossover as a long distance race and touring model. Designed for Ultra-distance paddling, the recessed forward bag area and recessed rear area feature multiple tie down points for bags, food and supplies.
*29.5″ features both forward and rear bungee tie downs
*27.5″ features only forward bungee tie downs
ONLY ON 29.5″
The 29.5 model features a center tuttle box in front of the usual fin box. Large tuttle fins can be installed for additional stability if needed. Large fins are great for stability in longer, adventure paddling.
We recommend 48 Drake shallow Fin.
The wider models at 27.5″ and 29.5″ make the board extra stable for carrying gear on an expedition trip.
A thin, slicing nose parts the water efficiently and stops the water from wrapping over the nose to slow you down. It pops faster in chop and gives you more trim control.
The tail has a new rounded tail edge, giving a smoother release and more efficient glide. In choppy conditions, the new round tail is more forgiving.
The inner rails are more dug out in the standing area to utilize the full width inside the cockpit and improve stability.
• Optimised for speed in flatwater.
• Less drag, better efficiency.
• Tall profile also allows for great performance in small bumps.
Limits water splashing into the deck area and provides even volume distribution throughout the board.
Our fastest and most efficient hull design ever. The unique round rail low apex design provides a fast and smooth ride with little resistance.
For comfort and stability. The flat deck makes it easy to move freely around when trimming the board and surfing on the tail.
The rails are angled inward, with a low apex for buoyancy and float, and the top area of the rail reduces drag for a faster, longer-lasting glide.
The closed tail restricts water from flooding the tray when buoy turning and surfing. It allows riders to have less water in the deck and faster acceleration when finishing turns.
The 3k pre-impregnated carbon biax is ultra-lightweight weave and creates super stiff performance throughout the fin. The trailing edge features a super sharp 0.4mm for clean hydrodynamics. The new range of fins adds speed and performance like never before.
*Flash replaces Natural Winner
*Flash+ replaces Race Ultra
Customisable handles for beach starts.
Deflect water entering into the standing, keeping water weight off the board and out of the cockpit. The rail deflector also acts as protection when tying the board onto roof racks.
*The deflector will not be installed on the boards but shipped in the accessory box.
We moved the drainage from the rails to center of the board resulting in:
• Less water weight on the rails, reducing the water causing imbalances in lateral stability.
• Faster drainage, we recorded up to 50% faster drainage time (drained in 18 strokes with center vs 39 strokes with rails).
• 50% reduction in weight change from 4 to 2 drainage holes
• The standing area is much drier overall as less water enters when leaning on the rail to rail turn.
Recessed into the board for maximum efficiency, secured with improved sealant glue and additional clear tape around the edge.

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 Sprint Expedition has an average carbon footprint of 115.4 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.
The Sprint Expedition has an average plastic content of 9.5 kg per board.
