STARBOARD 23 Longboard - Starlite

An Evolution Of The Classic Surf Shape. Smooth, Stylish, Simple

High-performance Longboard paddle board that is versatile, incredibly responsive and smooth to turn.

This stand up paddleboard is inspired by our legendary Starboard Surf Longboard model, designed to perform in waves from 1ft small beach breaks to head-high reef breaks. The boards offer fast down-the-line surfing, as well as the ability to perform in the critical section of the wave. These cutting-edge shapes are totally well received by our team riders and anyone who have tested them.

LOW VOLUME THINNED OUT RAILS

• Easily engage with minimal foot pressure, giving control down the wave face and hold through steeper sections of the wave.
• Ultra-responsive and sensitive to turn direction with speed and control.

PARALLEL OUTLINE
Parallel straight outline in the midpoint provides a smooth fast glide that is easy to trim the board.

GRADUAL NOSE KICK
Ensures a smooth take-off into waves without pearling.

FULLER NOSE OUTLINE
Gives enough float and stability to ride toes on the nose for classic Longboard styling.

RELATIVELY FLAT MIDSECTION
Delivers speed feeding into a moderate tail kick for responsive turning.

FLAT DECK
Flat deck improves stability and makes transitioning effortless from rail-to-rail allowing for drawn-out carves.

NARROW DIAMOND TAIL
Is extremely reactive in bottom turns.

DOUBLE CONCAVE

• Allows the board to roll onto its rail effortlessly to turn direction from the standing area.
• The pronounced vee tail makes turning very crisp and reactive, essential for fast bottom turns and of the top.

FIN POSITION

• After testing multiple fin positions, we chose to place the side fins very close to the rail. This enables carving with precision and hold through turns, while the center fin position gives tracking and drive.
• Can also be surfed as a single fin.

NEW SELF-VENTILATING VALVE
A self-ventilating air valve is available on the board. This valve is self-ventilating so, it should not be touched or removed – otherwise, you are at risk of damaging the valve system.

STARLITE CONSTRUCTION
DURABLE, SCRATCH AND IMPACT RESISTANT WOVEN RAIL PROTECTION

• Ultra-durable, scratch and impact resistant woven 200g twill azure rail protection.
• The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom to protect against total breakage. The T-stringers are positioned close to the rail working like an i-beam to endure heavy drops and strong wipeouts.
• Starlite now features a full deck of 0.6mm Australian pine wood which is sandwiched between 2 glass outer skins, increasing the overall total breakage strength and reducing the weight due to lower resin absorption.
