Starboard Tikhine 11’2” (Wave)

Reviewed by us on Apr 8, 2020

“A beautiful looking iSUP with great glide for mid-weight paddlers. Robust and well priced too.”

Produced by Starboard

11' 2" ~ 32" ~ 261L

RRP ~ £899

Covered: Flatwater / All-round Beginner Getting Started Intermediate Equipment & Reviews

What we say

If you’re going to buy one all-round iSUP make sure it’s a good looking one! And they don’t come much better looking than this in 2018 – the Starboard Tikhine 11’2” is a stylish and yet practical iSUP. Being 11’2” x 32” it offers more glide than the shorter all-round mid 10′ iSUPs. And yet because of its 3 fixed fins its still a hard wearing board that will be perfect for family and friends to try out SUP for the first time. The shoulder carry strap makes it easy to carry even after you’ve inflated it. And one thing you can be certain is that this board will turn heads everywhere you go!

An amazing looking iSUP from Starboard that's light and easy to use

None...

Buy if... you want a great looking iSUP from a top end brand that's easy to paddle.
