For 2024, it continues to set the benchmark for rigidity, safety, and glide. The \"Double Chamber\" design isn't just about safety; the secondary central chamber acts as a structural I-beam, making the board significantly stiffer and closer to a \"hard board\" feel than almost any other inflatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the sort of board that is worth choosing carefully, because the right shape can make paddling feel easy and rewarding, while the wrong one can feel hard work from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it sits in the range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sits on the more distance-focused side of the Starboard range.
