Starboard continues to push the boundaries of innovation with the new Acute Custom Carbon construction, now available on the Twin Fin and coming soon to the Spice and Pro ranges.
Designed to deliver lightweight performance, strength, and precise flex, this construction transforms how boards respond on the water. With more flex than the Blue Carbon and a faster recoil, riders get a more dynamic and responsive ride, making turns smoother and surf sessions more effortless.
In this video, Reuben from SUPBoarder breaks down the differences between the new Acute Custom Carbon and the previous Blue Carbon construction, showing why Starboard’s latest design sets a new benchmark in SUP technology.
Key Insights from the Video Review
› Lighter and Stronger: Acute Custom Carbon is lighter than Blue Carbon, without compromising durability.
› Dynamic Flex: The flex pattern helps generate more drive in turns and improves wave responsiveness.
› High-Density Core: Uses a 25 kg EPS core for strength and optimal flex, compared to 15 kg in Blue Carbon boards.
› Advanced Testing: Starboard tested flex, recoil, impact, and beam strength to ensure performance under real conditions.
› Enhanced Surf Feel: The board reacts naturally to your movements, helping with bottom turns, top turns, and overall wave control.
What this means for riders
The Acute Twin Fin is designed for performance surfers who want a lightweight, responsive, and durable board. Whether you’re carving waves, riding downwind, or testing your limits on small surf, this construction gives you confidence and control without sacrificing speed or responsiveness.
The Acute Custom Carbon construction is the next step in Starboard’s evolution, offering a responsive and exciting ride without compromising durability.
