The Starboard Generation set the world alight on its launch and has understandably has grown in popularity further still due to its sheer versatility. It was therefore only a matter of time before Starboard funnelled all of their experience and knowledge into producing an inflatable Starboard Generation paddleboard that combined the very best of three worlds; surfing, touring and racing.
If you are looking to cover distance and explore your local waterways or venture to areas new, the Generation inflatable stand up paddleboard has masses of stability and all of the bungee tie-downs you want to secure your gear large or small.
If surfing is your thing, then this is where the inflatable Generation performs like no other board of this this length or width. Featuring a high nose and tail rocker, combined with the narrow nose and tail outline shape performance in small to medium surf is unrivalled and testament to just how versatile the Starboard Generation inflatable paddleboard is.
All of these factors combined, also mean the Generation sup inflatable is no slouch round a race course. With its long and parallel outline, the Generation iSUP rewards you with the extra glide you want for racing (and efficiency for touring).
