The Starboard Gen-R is a key model for surf racing and all round paddling. The slightly recessed deck has been optimized to have great stability while easy-to-use when beach starting and getting back on the board. Lower rail height and reduced nose thickness is a much requested feature (especially from our lighter riders) for technical races, buoy turning and easy handling in choppy conditions.The Gen-R is a great fit between the flat water Sprint model and open ocean/all round All Star model. Additionally, youth riders will love this board for its speed and ease of use.

FASTER ACCELERATION

The low nose rocker and narrow nose outline help increase the acceleration and overall efficiency on flat. This acceleration is essential for tech racing, beach starts and explosive sprints after buoy turns.

SOLID TURNING AND STABILITY FROM THE TAIL

The wider tail outline combined with the flat deck makes it very comfortable to move and be stable during the turn.

NEW SLICING NOSE

The narrow outline in the tip of the nose is intended to slice efficiently in flat water as well as on ocean bumps. The lower nose rocker shares genetics with the Sprint, extending the waterline for faster acceleration and prolonged glide. Although the low nose rocker aids in early bump detection, the rider must move back to trim while riding bumps.
