Starboard Spice Surf SUP
We have been loving the Starboard Spice Surf Sup here from Starboard SUP.
We have been riding the Starboard Spice here at SUP North Devon in all sizes from the 7.11" upwards ,message us for details and our thoughts on this amazing  surf SUP board.
 
A quiver killer that blends performance and fun in one. The Spice is an all new wave range that gives you incredible rail carving, impressive speed through sections and instant drive out of turns. The design brief focused on offering more performance and progression than the Wedge, while being more user-friendly and forgiving than the Pro. The all wave performance of the Spice allows it to handle a range of conditions, from small beach breaks to overhead point breaks. From light to heavy, enthusiasts to pros, the Spice range offers a size for all.
 
INCREDIBLE RAIL CARVING, IMPRESSIVE SPEED, INSTANT DRIVE
A RIDE THAT SYNCS SPEED, POWER AND FLOW.
From bevelled thin rails, wing tail, concave bottom shape, the design elements that make up this board work in harmony, giving you ride that syncs speed, power and flow.
 
UNIQUE BEVELLED RAIL
The unique bevelled rail shape makes turning both ultra-responsive and easy. The slightest foot pressure and the board just rolls in the direction you want to go. The rails are super fine both in the nose and tail, reducing the swing weight through your turns and giving you direct response when applying pressure on the rail.
 
BEVELLED RAIL - OFFERS 3 DISTINCT FEATURES
1. The bevel rail creates a narrower planing area, helping to generate more speed and acceleration down the line.
2. The angle of the bevel helps you toll the rail effortlessly, making the board very responsive to pump on the wave face and sink through carving turns.
3. The bevel creates a thinner more pinched rail so you don’t have to apply as much foot pressure to initiate turns.
 
FULL NOSE OUTLINE
Provides stability and extends the rail line for faster speed.
 
POINTED NOSE TIP
Pierces through waves and reduces swing weight through turns.
 
THIN TAPERED RAIL PROFILE NOSE
Helps reduce swing weight from the nose to enhance manoeuvrability and speed through turns.
 
PARALLEL MID-SECTION
Helps engage the rail for good speed down the line.
 
SLIGHT DOMED DECK
Helps keep rails fine and gives enough float in the center buoyancy of the board.
 
THICKER MID-SECTION
Provides float and carries speed down the line and momentum through smaller surf.
 
ROCKER
Smooth rocker has gradual nose and tail kick, offering the right combination of paddle speed and manoeuvtability. The nose rocker prevents the nose diving getting into waves and from catching through turns, while the tail rocker helps lift the nose to pivot.
 
BOTTOM SHAPE
Single concave provides lift and speed, feeding through to a double midsection and slight vee at the tail to manoeuvre and rock from rail to rail.
 
WING TAIL
Creates a break in the rail line, maintaining stability forwards, while narrowing behind the wing to offer much more manoeuvrability.
 
THINNING AT THE TAIL
For maximum response, bite and control when stepping back.
 
ROUND PIN TAIL
Offers good drive and hold in bigger surf, yet good stability and manoeuvrability. The round pin complements the looseness generated from the wing tail.j
