Designed For Expeditions

“At last, a true expedition paddleboard! After three years of testing different designs and prototypes with the team in Thailand, I simply couldn’t be prouder of the Expedition Sprint. Combining Starboard’s legendary racing hull with massive dugout cargo capacity, this revolutionary board is fast, stable and so fun to paddle. Capable of carrying weeks of gear, it is ready for any wilderness journey. It is the real deal.” ~ Bruce Kirkby

Two Wider Sizes

• The 14’0″ x 27.5″ Sprint is designed for riders up to 110 kg who want solid stability and great speed.
• The Sprint 14’0″ x 29.5″ is designed for riders weighing up to 120 kg and seeking ultra-stability for long distance adventures.

ⓘ Both new sizes offer a recessed bag storage area in front of the standing area with bungee tie downs to carry gear and supplies for ultra-distance races and long exploration paddles.

Large Forward And Rear Baggage Areas

The two larger sizes of the Sprint are designed to crossover as a long distance race and touring model. Designed for Ultra-distance paddling, the recessed forward bag area and recessed rear area feature multiple tie down points for bags, food and supplies.
*29.5″ features both forward and rear bungee tie downs
*27.5″ features only forward bungee tie downs

Center Tuttle Box

ONLY ON 29.5″
The 29.5 model features a center tuttle box in front of the usual fin box. Large tuttle fins can be installed for additional stability if needed. Large fins are great for stability in longer, adventure paddling.
(We recommend 48 Drake shallow Fin.)

Ultra Stable

The wider models at 27.5″ and 29.5″ make the board extra stable for carrying gear on an expedition trip.

Nose Profile: Sharper And Thicker

A thin, slicing nose parts the water efficiently and stops the water from wrapping over the nose to slow you down. It pops faster in chop and gives you more trim control.

Rounded Tail Edge

The tail has a new rounded tail edge, giving a smoother release and more efficient glide. In choppy conditions, the new round tail is more forgiving.

Refined Inner Standing Area

The inner rails are more dug out in the standing area to utilize the full width inside the cockpit and improve stability.

Thin Slicing Nose

• Optimised for speed in flatwater.
• Less drag, better efficiency.
• Tall profile also allows for great performance in small bumps.

Thick Profile

Limits water splashing into the deck area and provides even volume distribution throughout the board.

Round Hull Design

Our fastest and most efficient hull design ever. The unique round rail low apex design provides a fast and smooth ride with little resistance.

Recessed Pad

For comfort and stability. The flat deck makes it easy to move freely around when trimming the board and surfing on the tail.

Curved Rails

The rails are angled inward, with a low apex for buoyancy and float, and the top area of the rail reduces drag for a faster, longer-lasting glide.

Sloped Tail

The closed tail restricts water from flooding the tray when buoy turning and surfing. It allows riders to have less water in the deck and faster acceleration when finishing turns.

Prepreg Carbon Fin

The 3k pre-impregnated carbon biax is ultra-lightweight weave and creates super stiff performance throughout the fin. The trailing edge features a super sharp 0.4mm for clean hydrodynamics. The new range of fins adds speed and performance like never before.

Multiple Handle Positions

Customisable handles for beach starts.

EVA Race Deflector

Deflect water entering into the standing, keeping water weight off the board and out of the cockpit. The rail deflector also acts as protection when tying the board onto roof racks.

Center Drainage

We moved the drainage from the rails to center of the board resulting in:
• Less water weight on the rails, reducing the water causing imbalances in lateral stability.
• Faster drainage, we recorded up to 50% faster drainage time (drained in 18 strokes with center vs 39 strokes with rails).
• 50% reduction in weight change from 4 to 2 drainage holes
• The standing area is much drier overall as less water enters when leaning on the rail to rail turn.

Carbon Drain Covers

Recessed into the board for maximum efficiency, secured with improved sealant glue and additional clear tape around the edge.

Board Sock

Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes. Ensure optimal board maintenance with the iconic blue Board Sock, featuring a secure drawstring closure.

14’0″ x 29.5″ SPRINT EXPEDITION

Fully equipped Expedition Sprint model, featuring multiple bag tie-down points in the front and the rear of the cockpit. This model is ready to go the miles. The 29.5” Expedition Sprint is a fast and stable model for flatwater paddling up to shin-high conditions.

14’0″ x 27.5″ SPRINT EXPEDITION

The 27.5 Sprint Expedition is a great crossover flatwater racing and long-distance adventure edition of our Sprint. Featuring a fast hull design, sharp slicing nose and recessed baggage area in front of the rider, you can race over longer distances. This board is designed with ultra-distance racing in mind.

14’0″ x 25.5″ SPRINT

The Sprint 25.5 model takes flatwater racing to a new level. The sharp slicing nose gives the board efficient glide through the water and feels effortless to paddle at higher speeds. Riders up to 100kg will love the speed and sensation of the Sprint 25.5” in flatwater conditions.

NEW 14’0″ x 23.5″ SPRINT

Another new board to the lineup, the 23.5” Sprint embraces the same changes as the narrowest Sprint model, giving this mid size board an excellent blend of a fast and efficient outline design, with a stable and wide standing area for comfort. A pleasure to paddle in flat water conditions for riders up to 90kg.

NEW 14’0” x 21.5” SPRINT

The narrowest Sprint model for this season sees a new outline to increase stability from the previous model, while adding a more efficient outline for more efficient paddling. The round tail improves efficiency to this model, allowing the Sprint to slice through the water, barely leaving a trace. Ideal for use in flatwater conditions for riders up to 80kg.

Blue Carbon Sandwich

LIGHTEST WEIGHT, DURABILITY, FLEX CONTROL
• Super light-weight biaxial carbon is laminated over the standing area and full bottom.
• While the stronger 150g Biaxial carbon wraps the nose and rail and the best strength ratio and efficient flex.
• High-density PVC is used in the standing area and full bottom maximizing strength and long-term durability.

Blue Carbon

FULL CARBON WRAP, WOOD REINFORCED STANDING, VALUE OFFERING
• Offers a full carbon construction that combines strength and weight at a truly competitive value.
• Biaxial Carbon wraps the full deck and rail giving you excellent competitive weight and strength properties.
• Carbon stringer on the deck provides additional impact and stiffness.
• Extra glass reinforcements wrap the sharp edges and inside rails of the cockpit for extra rigidity and strength.
