Starboard Generation
GENERATIONS AHEAD OF THE REST
The Generation can be described best as a touring, surfing and racing hybrid. It is designed to be a simple choice for every condition. A true high-performance all round paddle board.
🏆 2 x Gear of the Year by SUPConnect 2021, 2023
ROUND VEE BOTTOM SHAPE
Helps lift the board so you can accelerate faster and maintain a higher top speed. It also floats over chop smoothly, making it versatile to handle all conditions. Deep double concave supports the round Vee with stability directly under foot.
BUNGEE TIE DOWN
Directly in front of the standing area make it convenient and accessible for you to store any gear when touring and cruising.
RAIL THICKNESS
Maintained throughout the entire profile of the board, giving you a balanced glide from nose to tail. The Generation is thinner than a Touring and Race board, making it lighter to manoeuvre and easier to carry.
RAIL TUCK EDGE
The rails are round to avoid you catching the nose, sharpening at the middle to create a stable platform, through to sharp edge at the tail to carve in surf.
GRADUAL NOSE KICK
Helps stop the board from diving in the surf and downwind, as well as lifting over chop upwind. The curved rocker is fast on flats, smooth in the surf and very capable in chop.
RECESSED PAD
Lowers your center of gravity for greater comfort and stability. The flat deck makes it easy for you to move freely around when trimming the board and surfing on the tail.
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.
Included with Blue Carbon.
Sold separately for Lite Tech and Rhino.
230 CENTER FIN
Provides good straight-line tracking and is easy to buoy turn when racing. A thruster set-up with the 5.5” Armacore side fins proved the best combination for added drive and control so you can turn the board with ease in the surf.
Comes with Blue Carbon.
Lite Tech and Rhino come with 8″ Net Postive fin.
BLUE CARBON
LIGHTNESS YOU CAN FEEL
› The best-lightest value ever.
› 2-in-1 Shoulder carry strap makes it easy and lighter to carry the board.
› Introducing light biaxial carbon on the deck mixed with a protective layer of low-weight fiberglass placement resulting in the lightness you can feel.
› Australian pine on standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity.
› 2 x T-stringers on the full deck significantly increase strength against total breakage in waves. (Special on Generation board only)
LITE TECH
LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE
› Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail/ nose reinforcements.
› Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area.
› All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.
RHINO
AS TOUGH AS IT GETS
› Built to last, Rhino is the most durable and hardwearing technology designed for schools and clubs.
› The entire board is wrapped in a thick, tough thermoplastic polymer ABS skin, offering an ultra strong impact resistance and durable shell.
› The full rail is wrapped with a 0.7mm thick rail band to further protect the rails against impact.
› Full EVA deck makes it forgiving and comfortable to move around.
› A tow hole in the nose makes it easy to tow the boards and makes it easy to lock multiple boards together.
