14'8" x 27.5" The Point
Starboard continues leading the SUP revolution and now unviels The Point, a brand new shape and technology challenging current SUP design philososhies.
The Starboard 14'8" "the Point" designed by by Mark Raaphorst and Svein Rasmussen in by far the fastest SUP board in the Starboard range. It has been GPS tested to reach up to 12.34 km/h on flat water without wind.
The state of the art scooped out deck which feeds into a double concave deck massively increases the balance at the same time as it makes the board more rigid for extra speed.
The sleek 14'8" has enough nose rocker to work very well even in large ocean swell, one just need to step further back once up surfing.
The construction is the lightest ever successfully being applied to any surf, SUP or windsurf board. The 14kg/m3 light density EPS foam is laminated with 160 grams Carbon epoxy matrix covered by a 0.6 mm thin layer of unidirectional Australian pine wood. There is extra reinforcement in the standing area.
We believe that a whole new exciting dimension of SUP will be created through dedicated "point to point" board development. Down wind races are popular in Hawaii now, and the first competitions are starting in Europe this year.
The optional sterring system allows one to paddle effortlessly with side wind and eliminates paddle strokes for direction correction. The sleek system is well integrated into the board design and can be used with a little touch with the toes.
The power points for the fastest board from point to point:
Scooped out hull for extra balance
Extra length for maximal glide
Sleek nose rocker for open ocean suitability
EVA wedge on the nose to wash water off the deck
Extra superlight state of the art full wood/carbon construction
Optional steering system to increase paddle efficiency
