Starboard’s New All Star and Sprint Race SUPs – 2024

The ultimate in all water conditions, the All Star and high-performance Sprint, have been fine-tuned to conquer the 2024 and 2025 racing seasons. This means that the boards Starboard is launching on March 1st will continue to shine through 2025 as well.

For both models, we focused on refining the much proven and loved concepts, rather than creating a completely new concept. As we already had so many years of experience and innovation, we want to expand on tweaking the extra level needed to stay at the front of the pack.

More forgiving round tails and reduced volume are just some updates that have left the Starboard Dream Team feeling impressed and excited after the World Championship races in Thailand, where Starboard riders secured 29 medals on the podium and Starboard racing boards maintained their dominance in the industry.

ALL STAR

ONE BOARD, ALL CONDITIONS

For the All Star the full-size range was updated.

These are some of key features updated:

• ROUNDED TAIL OUTLINE
  which creates better hydrodynamic flow at the tail, for less wash and a faster gliding board. It made it easier to do fast buoy turns and was more forgiving to change direction when going downwind.
• VEE BEHIND THE FIN BOX
  for easier turning in the surf and aiding a better release.
• NEW OPEN-STYLE COCKPIT DESIGN
  allowed us to reduce weight and give more room in the standing area, and by removing volume in front it is more comfortable to rest your chest for beach starts.
• REDUCTION IN VEE IN THE BOTTOM SHAPE
  to increase the overall stability and useability of the board, giving more control in chop and more power in flat.

SPRINT

THE FASTEST GOT EVEN FASTER

For the Sprint, it shares several learnings from the All Star, updating only the 21.5” and the 23.5” models.

• ROUNDED TAIL OUTLINE
  We carried over the same new rounded tail outline, which helped reduce wash, make it easier to turn and generally created less drag.
• VEE BEHIND THE FIN BOX
  for a smoother release, making it much harder for others to draft.
• NEW OUTLINE
  which is the big change for the Sprint. We widened the overall outline and moved the widest point further forward and extended the standing forwards. This means you have a wider stance at the mid point of the board, giving more stability and control. The width runs slightly in front of the standing, allowing a more predictable glide.
