Starboard Sprint Paddleboard – SUP race board for flatwater and ultra-distance

The Starboard Sprint is the racing SUP board designed to be the fastest and most efficient on flatwater . Designed for racing and ultra-distance , it offers immediate acceleration , high top speed, and superior glide thanks to its optimized hull and outline. Ideal for those seeking top performance on lakes , rivers , and calm seas, even in Italy.

Why choose Sprint

• Instant acceleration & top speed : The thicker, sharper nose “slicing” improves water release by reducing water wrapping around the bow.
• More parallel outline : faster and improved stability than previous versions.
• Round tail : rounded tail for less turbulence and greater glide.
• Round hull design : digital hull tested in real conditions to maintain high speeds for longer .
• Advanced Wide Point : Contoured inner walls for more usable width in the standing area = comfort, control and stability.
• Reduction of cockpit volumes : lightened front part of the cockpit for a more “open” and lighter feel.
• Flat tail angle : more comfortable rear area in kick turns and when you backpedal.
• Recessed Carbon Scupper System : Flush-mounted carbon exhausts for cleaner flow and faster drainage from the deck.
• 10” Fin Box : fin position adjustment to suit sprint/technical or long distances.
• Tail Vee : Efficient release and tracking in flat water.
• EVA Race Deflector : Deflects water in larger chop, keeping the cockpit drier.
• Board Sock included : reduces waste and protects from dust, scratches and UV rays.

Construction technologies

Zero – Ultra Light Technology

• The lightest construction ever made : incredible smoothness, lightning-fast acceleration and a very long glide.
• Zero EPS foam : true hollow construction.
• Over 3kg lighter than Carbon Sandwich / over 4.5kg lighter than Wood Carbon.
• 3 Drain Holes : The front “pigtail” tube acts as one-way ventilation to let the hollow board “breathe”.

Blue Carbon Sandwich

• Super light biaxial carbon laminate on standing area and bottom.
• 150g biaxial carbon on nose and rail for best strength/flex ratio.
• High density PVC on the standing area and bottom for maximum durability and resistance over time.

Blue Carbon

• Full carbon construction: excellent balance between weight and strength.
• Biaxial carbon on deck and rails for excellent weight and strength properties.
• Carbon stringer on the deck for increased stiffness and impact resistance.
• Glass reinforcements on the corners and internal cockpit rails for greater rigidity and solidity.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

What type of use is the Sprint intended for?

For flatwater and ultra-distance SUP racing : it is optimized for maximum speed and efficiency on flat water and semi-flat conditions (lakes, rivers, calm seas).

What is the difference between Sprint and Sprint Expedition?

The Sprint Expedition is designed for long distances and adventure: it includes luggage attachment points in front and behind the cockpit, while remaining fast and stable.

What size should I choose based on my weight?

Quick Guide: 25.5 up to 100 kg, 23.5 up to 90 kg, 21.5 up to 80 kg. If you want more stability and ease, stick with the larger size; if you're aiming for maximum performance, go smaller (depending on your technique).

What's the difference between Zero, Blue Carbon Sandwich, and Blue Carbon?

Zero is the lightest (hollow) with incredible glide and acceleration; Blue Carbon Sandwich maximizes weight-to-strength ratio with PVC reinforcements; Blue Carbon offers a full carbon solution with excellent value and strength.

What is the “Recessed Carbon Scupper System” for?

The carbon scuppers are flush with the hull for a cleaner flow: they improve the efficiency of the hull and allow faster drainage of water from the deck/cockpit.

Is the 10" fin box adjustable? Why is it useful?

Yes: you can move the fin forward for more maneuverability in technical races, or move it back for better tracking over long distances. Some riders also adjust it for "light" downwind or other conditions.

Is the Sprint also suitable for chop?

It is optimized for flatwater and semi-flat, but includes solutions such as the EVA Race Deflector and a more comfortable/controllable standing area to better handle moderate chop.

Is a transport protector included?

Yes, the Board Sock is included to protect from dust, scratches and UV rays and reduce the use of packaging.
