RECESSED BAG STORAGE

RECESSED BAG STORAGE

A secure bag storage area sits just in front of the standing area. Carrying your gear low on the board keeps the centre of gravity down, so the board feels more stable under your feet. A lower load also catches less side wind, helping you hold your line on longer tours.

BUNGEE TIE DOWN

BUNGEE TIE DOWN

Bungee tie-downs on the nose and tail keep your gear secure on the water. Essential for expeditions and long-distance adventures.

Xtec Carbon D2 comes without rear bungee inserts.

THIN SHARP SLICING NOSE

THIN SHARP SLICING NOSE

Inspired by our fastest racing board the Sprint, the taller squarer nose profile limits it diving in chop and reduces splashing, providing a silent and smooth glide. The slightly narrower nose outline at the tip has a cleaner entry for a faster glide and improved efficiency.

ANGLED NOSE RAIL EDGE

ANGLED NOSE RAIL EDGE

Restricts water wrapping the nose for more efficient paddling with less drag.

RECESSED DRAINAGE CHANNEL

RECESSED DRAINAGE CHANNEL

Helps guide any water in the standing area to flush out quickly at the tail.

DEEPER RECESSED STANDING

DEEPER RECESSED STANDING

The standing area is recessed deeper into the board, bringing you closer to the water. This lowers your centre of gravity for more stability and control in all conditions, from flat water to wind chop.

STRAIGHT AND DEEP CHANNEL

STRAIGHT AND DEEP CHANNEL

Improves straight-line tracking, allowing you to paddle straighter on one side for longer. Deep center channel funnels water smoothly from nose to tail generating lift and speed.

SWEPT BACK FIN

SWEPT BACK FIN

The swept-back fin shape helps the board track in a straight line. You can paddle more strokes on one side before you need to switch, with fewer corrections to stay on course.

BOXY RAILS WITH CHAMFERED EDGE

BOXY RAILS WITH CHAMFERED EDGE

Stops the board from rolling and water entering the deck. A chamfered rail edge increases speed and stability.

LOW NOSE ROCKER

LOW NOSE ROCKER

Extends the waterline for a smoother and faster glide optimized for flat-water cruising.

FLAT TAIL AND SIDE PLANES

FLAT TAIL AND SIDE PLANES

Creates a cleaner and smoother release, reducing tail wake and increasing glide efficiency. Flat side planes greatly increases overall control and stability.

2-IN-1 SHOULDER CARRY STRAP

2-IN-1 SHOULDER CARRY STRAP

Makes it easy to carry the board to the water and allowing you to fix your paddle when you don’t need it.

BOARD SOCK INCLUDED

BOARD SOCK INCLUDED

Reduces paper waste and protects your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made of stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes and has a secure drawstring closure.

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Touring is Starboard’s long-distance adventure paddleboard: a fast, stable board for covering real distance, with space to carry gear on day trips and longer expeditions. A thin, slicing nose inspired by the Sprint race board, a low nose rocker and a deep centre channel work together for a quiet glide and straight tracking, stroke after stroke. The taller, squarer nose stays on top of chop instead of diving into it, and an angled nose rail edge stops water wrapping around it, so less of your energy is lost to drag. Boxy rails with a chamfered edge resist rolling, while flat side planes and a flat tail give a clean release and extra control. A recessed bag storage area sits just in front of the standing area to keep your load low and centred, and bungee tie-downs hold the rest of your gear in place. Two sizes cover different riders and trips. The 14'0" x 30" (298 L) suits riders up to 120 kg who want the fastest glide over long distances. The 12'6" x 31" (279 L) is the widest and most stable option for riders up to 110 kg, and it's easier to turn and store. Choose PineTec D2 for proven durability, with a 0.6 mm Australian pine deck sandwich and 200 g woven twill rail protection, or Xtec Carbon D2, built with Carbon Load Frame Technology. Xtec Carbon D2 also has extra reinforcement in the standing area, rails, nose and tail, so it handles heavy loads and launching from rough beaches.

Pair it with the Velocity paddle. Made for long distances, the Velocity has a thin, high-aspect blade with a double concave face for steady power and straight tracking. Winglets on the blade edges cut flutter, and the 14° blade angle with a thin, flat tip gives a clean catch with very little splash. The blade passed an endurance test of 160,000 nonstop strokes, and it puts less strain on your body, so you can hold a steady pace for hours. Less effort per stroke, more distance per day.
