Starboard Sprint 2024, Blue Carbon.
SPRINT
THE FASTEST GOT EVEN FASTER
The Sprint concept is designed to be the fastest and most efficient flatwater board ever, and the range of 2024 boards caters for flatwater racing and ultra-distance racing.
In 2024 we have achieved a wider and more stable range, while refining the hydrodynamics of the hull design to deliver even more speed and glide.
🏅 Arip Purnama won Junior Sprint race at 2023 ICF World’s Championship in Thailand on this board and Andrey Kraytor set the fastest 200m Sprint time – 47.95 sec.
INSTANT ACCELERATION, AMAZING TOP-END SPEED
A new thicker slicing nose design displaces water with a cleaner release so you can paddle faster with less water wrapping and slowing you down.
Starboard Sprint Blue Carbon 2024
NEW SLICING NOSE
The ultra thin nose slices through flatwater conditions and is the most efficient design.
STREAMLINE OUTLINE
With a more parallel outline than our previous sprint model, the sprint achieves faster speeds and vastly improved stability.
NEW ROUND TAIL
Our most efficient tail design ever reduces wash and improves glide.
ROUND HULL DESIGN
Our fastest and most efficient hull design ever has been digitally designed to give the most efficient glide, and tested in the real world in various flat and semi-flat conditions. This hull allows the board to maintain higher speeds over a longer distance.
NEW WIDE POINT FURTHER FORWARDS
The inner walls in the Sprint have been shaped for maximum standing area width for comfort, stability and control.
NEW VOLUME REDUCTION
The front of the cockpit has been reduced in volume where possible, to achieve a lighter and more open design.
NEW FLAT TAIL ANGLE
Comfortable in kick turns and when standing further back, the volume and slope has been reduced at the back of the standing area to achieve a lighter and more comfortable board.
NEW RECESSED CARBON SCUPPER SYSTEM
Carbon scuppers sit flat on the bottom of the Sprint, resulting in an even more efficient hull flow. The carbon scupper system is recessed into the board and features a larger hole for even faster water flow from the deck.
NEW 10” FIN BOX
The 10” fin box gives riders flexibility to adjust their fin depending on race style. Short course racing would benefit from a fin further forward for fast turning, while longer races suit a fin further back in the box. Box placement varies for downwinding as some riders may prefer less or more tracking when surfing bumps.
NEW TAIL VEE
For the best release and tracking in flatwater, giving the best efficiency and control.
NEW BUNGEE-TIED OWN
Ensures a dry ride for your gear/ equipment/ luggage. Available in 14’0″ x 27″ and 14’0″ x29″
EVA RACE DEFLECTOR
Designed for larger ocean chop, the deflector diverts water from entering the standing area.
