Starboard 14 ft Sprint Deluxe - 2024

Click here to Watch our in-depth review of the Starboard Sprint Airline 

The Starboard Airline Sprint is here; inflatable race paddleboards are about to be revamped. Similar to its composite counterpart, the Starboard Sprint Airline board is meant to be the fastest board in flat water conditions. With a narrow nose to cut through the water surface, the center of balance sits behind the middle of the board providing great acceleration. Woven Fusion drop-stitch technology maintains the board at its lightweight. The cutting-edge standing tray is another innovation securing stability, control, and comfort, while the edge release technology reduces drag by creating a laminar flow behind the board. Michael Booth won the gold medal at the inflatable SUP race at the 2022 ICF World Championship in Poland, on the 14’0″ x 24″ Sprint Airline.

KEY FEATURES

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 STARBOARD AIRLINE TECHNOLOGY

• The free-flowing aramid cable locks the board in shape when inflated, creating a solid trustworthy hull sensation.
• The patented Starboard 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.

CARBON CENTRE STRINGER

Increases the stiffness and reflex sensation of the board, while covering the floating cable and creating a smooth surface

STARBOARD TEAR DROP FIN BOX

• The outline improves the hydrodynamic efficiency of the box and reduces its drag by 50%.
• New smart reinforcements reduce weight by 10%.
• New hidden compartment to hide the knot of the Airline’s aramid cable, leaving more space to adjust the fin’s position.

STARBOARD TIKI PUMP

• Fixed hose and manometer position when inflating.
• 10% more efficient thanks to the redesigned piston and outside tube for the air outlet. Plus, double and single-action pumping modes and a wider removable foot base increase stability when pumping.
• The base and handle are made from upcycled fishing nets.

STARBOARD LARGE BAG SHAPE

• Made wider and shorter, so it’s easy and fast to pack, whilst preserving the shape of the Side Walls.
• Due to the EVA Side walls, the Sprint must be folded instead of rolling.
• The bag is made from recycled plastic bottles. Approx. 30 bottles are used to make 1 bag.
