The Touring is an ultimate long distance paddle board. It is suited for all skill levels that want the fastest glide to paddle distances quickly, with comfortable stability and the option to carry gear along the journey.
The Touring range draws inspiration from our winning race designs to offer optimal glide, while the lowered centre gravity makes for stable paddling over longer distances, with the added benefit of gear-carrying capability. Its flat side planes mimic a catamaran’s stability while the straight middle rocker ensures optimal glide.
SPECIAL BAG STORAGE
A specially designed secure bag storage, positioned conveniently in front of the standing area, not only enhances accessibility but also lowers the centre of gravity, providing heightened control and stability for gear transportation.
THIN SHARP SLICING NOSE
Inspired by our fastest racing board the Sprint, the taller squarer nose profile limits it diving in chop and reduces splashing, providing a silent and smooth glide. The slightly narrower nose outline at the tip has a cleaner entry for a faster glide and improved efficiency.
BUNGEE TIE DOWN
Located on the nose and tail of the board ensures a dry ride for your luggage. Essential for expeditions and long-distance adventures.
Lite Tech comes without rear bungee inserts.
SWEPT BACK FIN
For greater straight line tracking
RECESSED DRAINAGE CHANNEL
Helps guide any water in the standing area to flush out quickly at the tail.
ANGLED NOSE RAIL EDGE
Restricts water wrapping the nose for more efficient paddling with less drag.
DEEPER RECESSED STANDING
Increases your stability and control.
2-IN-1 SHOULDER CARRY STRAP
Making it effortless to carry the board to the water and allowing you to fix your paddle when you don’t need it.
STRAIGHT AND DEEP CHANNEL
Improves straight-line tracking, allowing you to paddle straighter on one side for longer. Deep center channel funnels water smoothly from nose to tail generating lift and speed.
BOXY RAILS WITH CHAMFERED EDGE
Reduces the board from rolling and water entering on the deck. Chamfered rail edgeincreases speed and stability.
LOW NOSE ROCKER
Extends the waterline for a smoother and faster glide optimized for flat-water cruising.
FLAT TAIL AND SIDE PLANES
Creates a cleaner and smoother release, reducing tail wake and increasing glide efficiency. Flat side planes greatly increases overall control and stability.

“On the water, the board felt SO stable! The added width in the center of the board mixed with the recessed deck really contributes to that stability. The board was also easy to turn when stepping back towards the tail. When it comes to the glide if you’ve got the right technique and power behind…”

REVIEWED STARBOARD TOURING
“In this SUPboarder review, we look at the mother of all hard (composite) touring boards – The Starboard Touring 14′. It’s a long touring board offering a massive amount of glide and space, allowing you to carry plenty of gear to last you a while off the beaten track. And as well as touring this board could be a great 14 foot racer at the weekends too!”
