The NEW is most possibly the quickest 12'6" SUP hull ever made.

To be able to maintain reasonable stability the narrow hull has been dug out completely in the standing area so the feet are just at the water line, thus the stability and balance factor has been drastically increased. The aft section of the cockpit area has been dug out moderately to accommodate for the back foot to easily move backwards for snappy pivot turning, securing that the distance you have gained on the race course is maintained through the critical moments of turning the buoys. There are 2 drainage holes in each foot well to ensure rapid release of possible water gathering.

Starboard's brushed carbon technology brings together the lowest weight tolerances with the highest precision. The lightweight EPS core is wrapped with 160 gram Epoxy impregnated Carbon and covered with a 60 gram layer of glass for sanding protection. The light paint job is brushed further to increase precision and reduce weight. The white toned finish coat protects the board from over heating. High density PVC foam reinforcements are used around inserts. The standing area is a matrix of 500kg/3 0.6 mm pine wood, 200 grams glass and an additional layer of 160 grams Carbon.
