Starboard 14ft0 x 28 inch Touring Lite Tech - 2024

This Touring range from Starboard is ideal for paddlers of all skill sets, allowing for maximum speed and stability while covering long distances. The Sprint-inspired nose enhances the performance of the board, making for a smooth and efficient ride with less spray. Convenient features such as Starboard's shoulder straps, bungee tie-downs, and a lower storage area make the 14’0” x 28” model a great choice for expeditions. Additionally, Starboards testers have praised this board for its near-identical speed to the All-Star.

Key Features

• Thinner 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.
• Angled Nose Rail Edge - Restricts water wrapping the nose for more efficient paddling with less drag.
• Low Nose Rocker - Extends the waterline for a smoother and faster glide, optimised for flat-water cruising.
• Recessed Bag Storage Area - Makes it more accessible to reach and more stable with a lower center of gravity for you to stow gear. The bungee tie-downs help ensure a secured ride for your luggage.
• Slight Tray with Recessed Deck Pad - A slight tray helps wedge feet further out to the rail to hold a wider stance for additional support. The recessed deck pad lowers centre of gravity for improved stability and comfort.
• Recessed Drainage Channel - Helps guide any water in the standing area to flush out quickly at the tail.
• The Boxy Rails - Increase the stability of the board and limits water flowing onto the deck, keeping feet and gear dry, essential in cooler climates.
• Flatter Tail - Creates a cleaner and smoother release, reducing tail wake and increasing glide efficiency.
• Deep Centre Channel - Creates a flatter center rocker for extended glide & propels the water from nose to tail creating lift and speed.
• Straight Channel - Improves straight-line tracking, allowing you to paddle straighter on one side for longer.
• Flat Side Plane - Creates smoother glide and adds stability while feeling more controlled and less twitchy when switching between strokes.
• Bungee Tie Downs - On nose and tail for storing gear and supplies so you can stay out on the water for longer. Essential for expedition and long-distance paddles. (Lite Tech comes without rear bungee inserts)
• Fin Set Up - Single centre fin positioned far back to the tail for straight-line tracking. Supplied with Dol-fin 22″ for enhanced tracking and added stability.
• New Board Sock - Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes. Ensure optimal board maintenance with the iconic blue Board Sock, featuring a secure drawstring closure.
