The 2025 LSR Bali Cosmic Experience was more than just a competition — it was a true gathering of the global SUP surf community, and Starboard was proud to be at the heart of it all. Held from April 18–22 across Serangan Island and Oka Point in Sanur, Bali, this year’s event brought together over 50 passionate athletes for five days of waves, camaraderie, and progression.
As the main event sponsor, Starboard brought the stoke to Bali with a full demo day featuring our latest surf and longboard gear, while our Dream Team riders made their mark on the water, winning top spots across multiple divisions and taking home the Team Prize.
Starboard Takes the Crown – Both Individually and as a Team
With our riders making up 100% of the podium in the Elite Men’s Division and clinching 1st and 2nd in the Elite Women’s, the Dream Team showed the power of preparation, passion, and performance.

Let’s Review How It All Happened
A Cosmic Community & Starboard Demo Day Vibes
Starboard’s presence was felt not just on the podium, but on the beach. We hosted a Demo Day, where riders and surf enthusiasts got to try out the newest TwinFin board, latest Longboard SUP, Pro & Spice models, and accessories – all designed to elevate the SUP surfing experience. From first-timers to elite competitors, the feedback was clear: performance meets fun.
“Our Taiwan team’s Bali surf trip was all about unlocking waves with the latest TwinFin - guided one-on-one by world champions. From the East Coast to the West, we caught unforgettable rides. Can’t wait for more friends to join us next year!” - @wilson.sup
