Stand Up Paddle Boards

2009 Starboard 14'8" The Point

  • The 14'8" Point is developed by renowned designer Mark Raaphorst for performance ocean paddling.
  • The Point has proven to be a favorite in Hawaii and is especially designed for Downwind paddling.
  • The state of the art scooped out deck which feeds into a double concave deck massively increases the balance at the same time as it makes the board more rigid for extra speed.
  • The sleek 14'8" has enough nose rocker to work very well even in large ocean swell and is especially targeting downwind paddling.
  • The construction is the lightest ever successfully being applied to any surf, SUP or windsurf board.
  • The 14kg/m3 light density EPS foam is laminated with 160 grams Carbon epoxy matrix covered by a 0.6 mm thin layer of unidirectional Australian pine wood.
  • The optional steering system allows one to paddle effortlessly with side wind and eliminates paddle strokes for direction correction.
  • The sleek system is well integrated into the board design and can be used with a little touch with the toes.
