Starboard 14 ft 0 Touring Deluxe Lite

The Deluxe Lite construction redefines what’s possible in the world of inflatable paddle boards. By utilizing advanced Woven Dropstitch technology, this construction sheds up to 2kg compared to traditional builds. The result? Noticeably improved glide, faster acceleration, and greater paddling efficiency—allowing you to cover more distance with less effort. The lighter weight also makes packing, loading, and transporting the board easier for paddlers of all experience levels.

Starboard’s Welded Rail Technology is at the heart of Deluxe Lite’s durability. By heat-welding the seams instead of gluing them, this method creates a stronger, longer-lasting mechanical bond that significantly reduces the risk of leaks. Additionally, patented Roll Technology introduces a 3-piece foldable fin box, reducing the packed size by up to 33%, making travel and storage even more convenient.

Key Features of Deluxe Lite Construction:

• Soft, padded carry handles for comfortable transport

• Bungee tie-downs on the nose, with a central tie-down for secure gear storage

• Upgraded metal bungee clips for easy access and quick release

• Four metal D-rings on the rails for attaching a shoulder strap or kayak seat

• Enhanced EVA deck traction pad and tail kick pad for improved stability and control

• Edge Release Technology for cleaner water flow and better paddling efficiency

• Comes with lightweight bungee leash, double-action foot pump, and a travel-ready wheelie bag

Performance Design Elements:

• Optimized Outline Shape
  A straight outline with a narrower midsection brings the paddle closer to the board, improving stability, tracking, and speed.

• Roll Technology

  • Reduces packed size by 33% for easy travel

  • Roll bag includes both roller wheels and hiking straps

  • Exclusive to Deluxe Lite boards

• Voluminous Nose & Square Tail
  The extra volume enhances stability and buoyancy over chop, while the square tail offers a solid platform for step-back turns and better gear storage.

• Multiple Carry Handles
  Designed for explorers—carrying handles at the nose, tail, and center make transporting even fully loaded boards more manageable.

Whether you're heading off on a big adventure or simply want the easiest board to travel with, Deluxe Lite offers unmatched portability without sacrificing performance or durability. This is Starboard’s most compact, lightweight, and adventure-ready inflatable SUP to date.
