THE FUTURE OF INNOVATION QUALITY Congratulations to our world champions and team riders winning events the world over. They all race on boards made from plant based resin, indicating the future of innovation quality. Check out the SUPKids program, merging SUP with water safety and environmental awareness. Blue Carbon and Carbon Sandwhich technology boards are further ahead of the game, combining light weight with high strength and durability. Starlite and Pine Tek, our new premium technologies, are insanely strong and with scratch resistant Carbon innegra rails. The new Inflatable Zen boards have shed up to 2kg of weight, feature rail stiffeners and top/bottom high density stringers. The Ultra light Deluxe boards sporting 3K Carbon stringers are made with the fused technology we pioneered development of 4 years ago. For each board shipped we plant one Mangrove tree, absorbing up to 1 ton of C02. Beware, there will be no plastic wrapping on your Starboard. Get on board !

SEAN POYNTER SA SUP Surf World Champion Our team and partners share a vision for creating a better future. We are proud to work with the most engaged crew and look forward to enjoying the oceans while protecting them. MANGROVES FOR LIFE For every Starboard sold, one mangrove tree is planted in the Thor Heyerdahl Climate Park in Myanmar, each absorbing up to 1 ton C02 over 20 years. WATERTREK Foundation allies discovery, encounters and sharing. On the water we come together in awareness to remember that while we are caught up in this consumer and materialist world, water is our most precious...
