2009 Starboard 12'6" SUPer

The SUPer 12’6” is the worlds first SUP with a daggerboard system. As a board that gets anyone on the water in zero time, the SUPer 12’6” is the key to unlock the potential of light-wind windsurfing to SUP paddling. The long, slender shape glides smoothly and catches waves easily with surprising manoeuvrability. SUP is so fun and easy that it requires no instructions. Starboard's 12’6 is the ultimate board for the entire family, hotels and resorts.

The bonus is that it opens the gate to the wonderful world of windsurfing. With its integrated mast track, its draggerboard system and fitted windsurfing sail, gives you the opportunity to beautifully glide across calm waters, but still manoeuvrable for light wind wave riding and old-school freestyling. Due to its 30” with also makes the board a perfect stable platform for learning and progressing in windsurfing.

A true crossover between the two sports, the SUPer 12’6” is really ‘super’. A classic design that opens a whole new world to a whole new audience.

Windsurfing USA Magazine, May 2009 Review:

  • HOW IT SAILED: Like a classic longboard. Retractable centerboard option makes it the most beginner – friendly windsurfing board of the bunch. It has tons of float and is stable enough for even a firs t–time sailor.
  • HOW IT SURFED: A go–to board for first–time paddles and heavyweights. The well–balanced rocker was great for dropping in. Didn’t slash up the wave face – but hey. It’s a 12’6". Those 12 feet go miles(literally) when it comes to flat water.
  • BUYER BEWARE: The sheer size of the 12’6". Coupled with the daggerboard insert, do not make for a lightweight board – good thing it’ got a convenient carrying handle.
  • BEST SUITS: Water–friendly families that want a family–friendly board – something you can sail, paddle and teach the kids on.
  • OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: Comes with a more upright windsurfing friendly fin, and a wave fin that ’s better for SUP.
