It is built for paddlers who want to go further than a standard all-round board will comfortably allow, without jumping straight into a premium touring package or a narrower, more technical shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e12’6” x 30”\u003c\/strong\u003e, this board gives a useful blend of glide, stability and manoeuvrability.

Compared with a typical 10’6 all-round inflatable, it glides more freely, tracks straighter and makes longer paddles feel less stop-start. You will notice the benefit when you are paddling with friends, covering a few miles, or carrying a small dry bag for a day on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not the most premium or fastest inflatable touring board in the Starboard range. That is not the point. The strength of the Touring ONE is that it gives you a genuine touring shape, Starboard’s lightweight Deluxe Lite construction and a complete package at a more accessible price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is it best for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaddlers moving on from a basic all-round board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeginners who already know they want to paddle further, not just potter close to shore.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermediate paddlers wanting a light, efficient inflatable touring SUP.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders around 50-100kg looking for a good balance of speed, stability and easy handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomers who want a complete Starboard package with paddle, pump, leash and bag included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho may be better on something else?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you want maximum day-one stability for family use, a wider all-round board may feel easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you regularly paddle with a dog, child or lots of kit, consider a wider or higher-volume touring option.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you are closer to 110kg and want extra confidence in chop, it may be worth comparing with larger touring boards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you want a faster board for fitness mileage or racing, look at the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thesupco.com\/collections\/racing-paddleboards\"\u003erace paddleboard collection\u003c\/a\u003e or higher-performance Starboard touring options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStarboard 12’6 x 30” Touring ONE with Paddle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeluxe Lite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12’6” \/ 381cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30” \/ 76.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6” \/ 15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e355 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTail width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.3” \/ 49cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRider weight guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50-100kg ideal range; Starboard also positions the shape for riders up to 110kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.9kg \/ 17.4lb approx. tolerance +\/- 5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin set-up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS Box Roll fin system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDol-fin 22 Net Positive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarboard 12’6 x 30” Touring ONE Deluxe Lite inflatable paddleboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarboard 3-piece Tufskin paddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarboard lightweight leash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarboard double-action Tiki pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarboard Re-Cover wheely roll bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarboard Dol-fin 22 Net Positive fin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepair kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: repair adhesive is not always supplied with inflatable paddleboard packages due to shipping restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRange positioning and buying advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Touring ONE sits below Starboard’s more premium Touring Deluxe options, but keeps the key ingredients most paddlers need: a proper touring outline, lightweight Deluxe Lite construction, welded rails and a complete paddleboard package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are choosing between this and a standard all-round SUP, choose the Touring ONE if distance, glide and exploring are your priorities.
