Description

The Starboard Generation is the best of 3 worlds; Surfing, Racing and Touring. The Generation is basically the perfect board for a one board quiver. A true high-performance all round paddle board.

The 12’6” being shorter remains the more manoeuverable board, easier and faster to turn in the surf and nimble for lighter riders. If you’re focused on surfing, have limited storage and want a board that’s easier to transport, then go with the 12’6”.

Widths:

The 26” is more targeted at speed and efficiency, suited for lighter riders and high skilled riders that choose speed over stability. The 26” is the fastest and most efficient 12’6”, designed for lighter riders up to 90kg.

The 28” width is the best combination of speed and stability, offering the best of both worlds. Suited to riders up to 100kg, the 28” is the original favourite of the Generation and our best-selling model.

The 30” wide is the most stable option for heavier riders and those that want the most forgiveness in choppier conditions. Being the widest 12’6”, it offers the best stability for riders up to 110kg.

Lite Tech:

Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail/ nose reinforcements. Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area. Comes with shoulder carry strap inserts. All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.

Available in 12'6 x 26", 12'6" x 28", 12'6" x 30", 14'0" x 26", 14'0 x 28" and 14'0 x 30".

Features
Technology

Outline:

Fairly parallel, which delivers a predictable and controlled glide. The wide nose delivers fast acceleration when sprinting as it floats on top of the water.

The tail is pulled into a square shape, making it easier to sink for fast buoy turns and most responsive to turn sharply in the surf.

 

Round Vee Nose:

Helps lift the board to accelerate faster and maintain a higher top speed.

It also floats over chop smoothly, making it versatile to handle all conditions.

 
Gradual Nose Kick:

Helps stop the board from diving in the surf and downwind, as well as lifting over chop upwind.

The curved rocker is fast on flats, smooth in the surf and very capable in chop.

 
Rail Thickness:

Maintained throughout the entire profile of the board, giving a balanced glide from nose to tail.

The Generation is thinner than a Touring and Race board, making it lighter to maneuver and easier to carry.

 
Rail Tuck Edge:

Round to avoid nose catching, sharpening at the middle to create a stable platform, through to sharp edge at the tail to carve in the surf.

 
Deep Double Concave:

Supports the round Vee with stability direct under foot.

 
Recessed Pad:

For comfort and stability.

The flat deck makes it easy to move freely around when trimming the board and surfing on the tail.

 

Bungee Tie Down:

A Bungee tie down in front of the board for storing gear and supplies.

 
2-In-1 Shoulder Carry Strap:

Velcro loop to attach your paddle.

Easier to carry as the board simply hangs effortlessly on the shoulder and free up your hand to multi-task, hold your coffee, or phone.

When not in use, the bungee sits flat on the board so it doesn’t drag in the water.

 
Thruster Fin Set Up:

A single fin set up provides good straight-line tracking and is easy to buoy turn when racing.

A thruster set up with the 5.5” side fins proved the best combination for added drive and control to turn the board with ease in surf.
