Features of the Starboard GO 12' × 34"
Remarkable stability
The generous 34-inch width, combined with a concave hull and a relatively flat platform, provides excellent stability.
This design helps beginners find their balance quickly and paddle with greater confidence.
A wide nose and tail
The generous shape of the nose and tail helps distribute the board's volume and maintain good longitudinal balance.
This geometry makes it easier to change positions and makes the board more forgiving of the paddler's movements.
Cubic rails
The rails contribute to the GO's overall stability.
They also help keep water off the deck, improving comfort on the water, especially in cooler conditions.
Good tracking
The fin's rearward position helps the board maintain a straight course.
This makes it easier for the paddler to stay on course and reduce how often they switch the paddle from side to side while paddling.
Storage space at the front
The bungee system at the front lets you carry small accessories, such as a dry bag containing clothing, a snack, or personal items.
A practical feature for recreational outings and longer paddles.
SOHI construction – Soft Outside, Hard Inside
SOHI construction is based on a simple principle: combining a rigid structure with outer surfaces designed to better absorb contact and impact.
This Starboard technology prioritizes comfort, protection, and durability for regular use.
It is distinguished in particular by:
-
High-density EVA protection on the rails, providing a softer surface when coming into contact with the board.
-
A rigid structure reinforced with fiberglass and epoxy resin, designed to ensure the overall strength of the board.
-
Structural reinforcements, helping the board better withstand the stresses encountered during use.
-
A design suited to introductory activities, particularly for families, schools, and water sports centers.
This construction is especially appealing to users who want to enjoy the feel of a hard board while prioritizing protective, durable equipment.
