Starboard 14' X 28" Touring Lite Tech SUP 2025

The Touring is the ultimate long distance paddle board. It is suited for all skill levels that want the fastest glide to paddle distances quickly, with comfortable stability, and the option to carry gear along the journey

• 14’0″ x 28″ / 278 L: The fastest and most efficient touring experience. The 28” width has the highest top speed, ideal for riders up to 110 kg / 240 lb, who need stability and the ability to carry gear at speed. The 28” is a good option as a cross-over between a touring and racing model
• 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 | Comes with shoulder carry strap inserts. 2-in-1 shoulder carry strap sold separately
• Inspired by Winning Race Designs: The Touring range draws inspiration from Starboard SUP's winning race designs to offer optimal glide, while the lowered center-of-gravity makes for stable paddling over longer distances, with the added benefit of gear-carrying capability. Its flat side planes mimic a catamaran’s stability, while the straight middle rocker ensures optimal glide
• Special Bag Storage: A specially-designed secure bag storage, positioned conveniently in front of the standing area, not only enhances accessibility, but also lowers the center of gravity, providing heightened control and stability for gear transportation
• Thin Sharp Slicing Nose: Inspired by Starboard SUP's fastest racing board, the Sprint, this taller, squarer nose profile limits diving in chop, and reduces splashing, providing a silent and smooth glide. The slightly-narrower nose outline at the tip has a cleaner entry, for a faster glide and improved efficiency
• Bungee Tie-Down: Located on the nose of the board, and ensures a dry ride for your luggage. Essential for expedition and long-distance adventures
• Swept-Back Fin: For greater straight line tracking
• Recessed Drainage Channel: Helps guide any water in the standing area to flush out quickly at the tail
• Angle Nose Rail Edge: Restricts water wrapping the nose, for more efficient paddling with less drag
• Deeper Recessed Standing: Increases your stability and control
• Straight and Deep Channel: Improves straight-line tracking, allowing you to paddle straighter on one side for longer. Deep center channel funnels water smoothly from nose to tail, generating lift and speed
• Boxy Rails with Chamfered Edge: Reduces the board's rolling, and the amount water entering on the deck. Chamfered rail edge increases speed and stability
• Low Nose Rocker: Extends the waterline, for a smoother and faster glide optimized for flat-water cruising
• Flat Tail and Side Planes: Creates a cleaner and smoother release, reducing tail wake, and increasing glide efficiency. Flat side planes greatly increases overall control and stability
• Board Sock: Reduces paper waste, and protects your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made of stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes, and has a secure drawstring closure
