Starboard Inflatable SUP Junior &SUPKids Racer ZSC 2023
Scaled race boards for future world champions
Dedicated Junior range is specially scaled with narrow outlines to hold the paddle closer and straighter to the board for improved tracking.
After the success in the ICF world championship in Hungary, we introduced a new size, 2 inches wider to accommodate bigger kids.
The Deluxe version is equipped with our patented Airline technology which improves the response sensation you expect from a race board.
WELDED RAIL TECHNOLOGY
Every Starboard inflatable paddle board features welded rails.
The Welded Rail Technology creates a complete airtight, mechanically bonded seam without the risk of glue weakening over time. This makes Starboard inflatable paddle boards stronger and longer lasting.
PATENTED AIRLINE TECHNOLOGY
- The free-flowing aramid cable locks the board in shape when inflated, creating a solid trustworthy hull sensation.
- The patented Airline Technology utilises a pre-set free-floating cable. It is attached to the nose, goes under the bottom and ends at the fin box. The preset cable is slightly shorter than the board so, when the board inflates, the cable comes under tension and stiffens the board significantly. We measured 1.8 cm less hull deflection in testing and World Champion Connor Baxter swears by it.
- Comes with all Deluxe boards
