The Extremists. These shorter fish-style stand up paddle boards are the most exciting and progressive shapes in the 2008 Starboard range. Thanks to their 30" width they are still stable paddlers, but they demand a slightly higher skill level for reaching their full potential.

More than anything else, the Starboard 9'8" feels like surfing a shortboard. With instant acceleration, their shorter shapes allow you to pump down the line with powerful, driven cutbacks and rapid response. Gliding into tiny waves with ultimate ease, these boards comfortably handle the speed of taking the drop on larger waves.
