Starboard Generation 14'0 x 28" Lite Tech

The Generation can be described best as a touring, surfing and racing hybrid. It is designed to be a simple choice for every condition. A true high-performance all round paddle board.  3-IN-1: A TRUE ONE-BOARD QUIVER - SURFING, RACING, TOURING The tail is refined to be sharp and equipped with thruster fin boxes, allowing it to perform well in surf and ocean swells. FEATURES Controlled Glide: Fairly parallel outline gives you a very a predictable and controlled glide. The nose gives you fast acceleration when sprinting as it floats on top of the water. The tail narrows into a square shape, allowing you to have very responsive turning in the surf and fast buoy turns. Round Vee Bottom Shape: Helps lift the board so you can accelerate faster and maintain a higher top speed. It also floats over chop smoothly, making it versatile to handle all conditions. Deep double concave supports the round Vee with stability directly under foot. Bungee Tie-Down: Directly in front of the standing area make it convenient and accessible for you to store any gear when touring and cruising. Rail Thickness: Maintained throughout the entire profile of the board, giving you a balanced glide from nose to tail. The Generation is thinner than a Touring and Race board, making it lighter to manoeuvre and easier to carry. Rail Tuck Edge: The rails are round to avoid you catching the nose, sharpening at the middle to create a stable platform, through to sharp edge at the tail to carve in surf. 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. Recessed Pad: Lowers your center of gravity for greater comfort and stability. The flat deck makes it easy for you to move freely around when trimming the board and surfing on the tail. Fin Set Up: Provides good straight-line tracking and is easy to buoy turn when racing. A thruster set-up with the 5.5” Armacore side fins proved the best combination for added drive and control so you can turn the board with ease in the surf. Board Sock: Reduces paper waste and protects your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made of stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes and has a secure drawstring closure. LITE TECH CONSTRUCTION Light, Strong, Affordable 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. All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.
