Starboard Sprint #1 Flat-Water Raceboard
Get Ready for the Season with the Fastest SUP on the Market
The Sprint is without a doubt Starboard's fastest and most efficient raceboard for flat-water racing and ultra-long distances. A new, thicker slicing nose design displaces water with a cleaner release so that you can paddle faster with less water wrapping around and slowing you down. Rounded rails at the tail feel more forgiving in sidechop and creates a more efficient release. A refined standing cockpit with more dug-out rails helps utilize the full width to give you more stability and control. Redesigned center drainage system gives you 50% faster drainage speed, and a 50% weight reduction.
New Features for 2023
New Nose Profile: Sharper and Thicker: A thin, slicing nose parts the water efficiently and stops the water from wrapping over the nose to slow you down. It pops faster in chop and gives you more trim control.
New Rounded Tail Edge: The tail has a new rounded tail edge, giving a smoother release and more efficient glide. In choppy conditions, the new round tail is more forgiving.
New EVA Deflector: Deflect water entering into the standing, keeping water weight off the board and out of the cockpit. The rail deflector also acts as protection when tying the board onto roof racks.
New Center Drainage: We moved the drainage from the rails to center of the board resulting in:
• Less water weight on the rails, improving lateral stability
• 50% faster drainage time (drained in 18 strokes with center vs 39 strokes with rails).
• 50% reduction in weight due to change from 4 to 2 drainage holes
• The standing area is drier overall as less water enters when leaning on either rail
