Starboard Whopper Wide Ride SUP 2023

WHOPPER – WIDE RIDE WITH REAL GLIDE

The Wide Ride range was the world’s first wide and short SUP wave board. It helps everyone go paddle surfing and made Starboard the instant leader in SUP surfing. The trademark thin rails bite into the wave just like a smaller board and let you manoeuvre off the top and in bottom turns in ways not expected. The wider nose and tail outline make it ultra-stable and forgiving.

The thin rails mean you need less effort to turn on rail, as there is less volume holding the board back from sinking in the turn. The side fins are closer to the rail; providing a quicker response.

What size WHOPPER is for me?

10’0” x 34” WHOPPER – Highly popular, stable board which will surprise you with its incredible wave riding ability.

> As a best selling model since day one, the 10’0” Whopper is an outstanding big board to surf.

> The thin rails allow you to turn the board with less foot pressure, making it feel and surf like a much smaller board.

> Channelled tail helps you hold tighter turns and redirects faster and during top turns.

> Bottom shape of mono-concave to V with double concave to channel tail.

9’4” x 33” WHOPPER – Shorter length gives greater manoeuvrability with easier turning in the surf.

> Thin rails on the nose reduce the swing weight and helps you generate more speed when pumping down the line.

> “The 9’4” is super playful and reactive” – Martijn Van Depth

> “The thin rails and short nose outline help finish manoeuvres without catching the nose when redirecting”. – Sean Poynter

> Bottom shape of mono-concave to V with double concave to channel tail.

How to choose between the 2 Whoppers?

Get the 10’0” if you want extra stability and glide, and jump on the 9’4” for more reactivity.
