Our Brushed Carbon wave boards are up to 3kg lighter than our AST technology. The board construction ultra-light, flat-weave biaxial carbon and medium density high quality PVC sandwich foam wrapped around a light density EPS core. The first board construction in the world to utilize an ultra-light carbon fiber that is flat-weaved for total mechanical efficiency.

Starboard proudly introduces the strongest wood construction to date. The full 0.6mm Australian pine deck at a density of 510kg/m³ is combined with three-dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system. The volume created during expansion within the skin turns the lay-up into a stiff, durable, yet light sandwich construction.

AST technology features a light-weight EPS core and uses layers of three-dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system that creates volume within the skin as it cures under pressure. This creates a thick, stiff, durable, yet light-weight sandwiched laminate. A half-deck wood layer improves rigidity and deck impact resistance.

Our “soft & tough” user friendly construction. The EPS core is strengthened by double wood stringers. The half-deck wood provides extra impact resistance. Soft Slick bottom material gives a smooth bottom finish that is tough and wear resistant. Full EVA deck for a soft, comfortable touch. The rails are made from high density EVA and have been further toughened through a thermoform process which increases the impact resistance.

Starboard’s inflatable construction consists of super-strong drop-stitch material with abrasion and UV resistant 1000 Denier polyester reinforced PVC rail bands. Two layers of coated material are connected by hundreds of small but strong internal threads which allow the board to hold the shape when inflated to high pressure (15 psi). Starboard introduces nose concave and self-regulating rocker into the bottom hull shape to more closely represent our standard technologies, vastly improving performance.
