This was very helpful. I currently have a bluefin cruise 10’8 and have been very happy with it. But I now want to buy a faster touring board. I’m 60ish kg and I mainly paddle on flat water, rivers and canals with the odd portage around locks! I’m happy to pay the higher price point. I’m struggling to decide which board to buy but I do like Starboard. What can you suggest? Keep up the great work!
Hi Helen, Thanks for the comment and question. Glad you are happy with your bluefin and its got you into touring and wanting more. So, it sounds like you are after a lighter board, that has more glide and speed. Everything that your 10’8 is not ;-). Im not sure what narrower boards you have played on but I really feel you need to get the width down on your board for your weight and what you want to do with it. Theres no doubt that a board that comes straight to mind is the Starboard 12’6 x 28″ Touring… Read more »
Thanks Rueben, that’s really helpful and reducing the width is definitely something I’d consider doing. The starboard seems to be the best fit for me 🙂
Yes, there isn’t many other boards out there really. I feel the starboard is the one.

Always love your content. Started with watching all supboarder youtube videos to subscribing. I’m fairly new to Paddle boarding, roughly a year or so. And coming from a country where Isup are selling at a high price point, itiwit always my go to board. Started with a china budget board and it serve me well since it is built with two layer but can’t find a narrower touring board. The new 14′ itiwit touring board looks sort of good, can’t find it in decathlon store at where i am though. But i thought i would want to purchase one. I… Read more »
Hi Firdaus, Yes getting hold of SUPs is getting harder at the moment. The 14′ itiwit I feel will be a good board, and really good for price. It will paddle very similar to the 13, we tested but it will have more overall speed and glide. Stability will be about the same. Yes it is a shame that they don’t make these board in 29″ wide versions also. I do feel if you can get one on order it will get you on the water and right into touring on your SUP.
