Starboard Surf 9.5 Deluxe Inflatable SUP 2023

SURF – A PADDLEBOARD DEDICATED TO SURF

Surfing real waves on an inflatable board is now more fun with better performance too!
The entire range has been thinned to 4” thick to make them even more manoeuvrable and faster down the line. Parabolic rail reinforcements significantly increase the stiffness of the boards, essential for improving the board’s responsiveness on bottom and top turns.

Starboard provides extra speed on those bottom turns and still holds the down-the-line speed due to the edge release technology and smaller centre fin, which also increases the response of the board in turns. The double chamber has been repositioned closer to the tail to bring the stiffness right underneath the stance area. The design of the nose rocker also keeps your board from pearling during steep drops and radical manoeuvres.

What size is right for me?

 9’5″ x 32″ SURF
Length: 9’5” / 287 cm

Width: 32” / 81 cm

Volume: 180 L

This is your board if you want to go surfing and don’t want to struggle with airline’s baggage policies. Based on the composite outline, the narrow nose does not get caught through your turns. The wide standing area gives you stability and the pulled-in tail makes for reactive turning on your command.

Available constructions:

• Deluxe Double Chamber

This year with Starboard Inflatables, the package comes with the 3 piece Starboard Enduro Carbon (UD) paddle. 

Another bonus with buying a Starboard paddleboard is that they have a great environmental background and incentive as a Certified B Corporation. When purchasing a board with Starboard, they will plant 3 Mangrove trees (they draw down 3 x 336.5 kg CO2, more than 1 ton, over 25 years and this is more than 10X the board’s total carbon emissions) and they will pick up 1.1kg of ocean plastics! 

New for 2023 - 

Included on the Deluxe boards is the new Drop Fin Box. The new molding of the fin box creates 50% less drag on the board and 10% reduction in weight. 

What does Deluxe Double Chamber mean?

Starboard offer a variety of constructions to their boards. The Deluxe range is their most advanced method with added stiffness to the board to compete along with hard paddleboards. The Double chamber element is the ultimate stiff board, with the added chamber, this board has the extra safety precaution of being able to float whilst deflated.
