The Starboard 12'6 x 29" Touring Starlite delivers exceptional long-distance performance for paddlers of all abilities. Its streamlined design ensures swift gliding efficiency, allowing you to cover greater distances with less effort while maintaining reassuring stability. The board's thoughtful storage options make it perfect for bringing essential gear on your paddling adventures.
INSPIRED BY WINNING RACE DESIGNS
The Touring range draws inspiration from our winning race designs to offer optimal glide, while the lowered centre 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 centre of gravity, providing heightened control and stability for gear transportation.
STARLITE CONSTRUCTION
THE STRONGEST RAIL EVER TESTED.
- Ultra-durable, scratch and impact resistant woven 200g twill azure rail protection.
- 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.
- Touring board in Starlite construction comes with 2-in-1 shoulder carry strap included and features FCS inserts on the nose.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
- THIN SHARP SLICING NOSE: Inspired by our fastest racing board the Sprint, the taller squarer nose profile limits it 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.
- 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.
- ANGLED NOSE RAIL EDGE: Restricts water wrapping the nose for more efficient paddling with less drag.
-
DEEPER RECESSED STANDING: Increases your stability and control.
- 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.
- 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 from rolling and 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.
