TOURING - PIONEER EVERYWHERE
AN EXPLORER’S FAVOURITE TRANSPORTATION
The wider nose and squarer tail make the Touring inflatable paddle board more stable, especially for harsh conditions like side chop and moderate wind. Experience the Starboard difference even before entering the water, these lightweight paddleboards feature the trademark Starboard shoulder carry strap which allows you to effortlessly carry it to the water, with both hands-free!
The Rail Edge Technology effectively releases water at the tail and reduces drag by creating a laminar flow behind the board. The Welded Rail Technology mechanically joins the deck and hull, making it a stronger and longer-lasting longer iSUP.
For better tracking and more glide, the boards have a straight outline and relative narrow midsection so that the paddle can be kept closer to the paddle and increasing stroke efficiency.
All the Touring models have the edge release technology around the tail of the board to reduce drag from creating a laminar flow behind the board. Longer boards make you glide better, whereas the slightly shorter boards are easier to turn.
For a faster sensation when paddling, try the Touring S model which has a slenderer design of 28" wide, perfect for lighter riders or those with better balance. For a more stable sensation, to carry more gear or for heavier riders, the Touring L at 32" wide is the best one.
VOLUMINOUS NOSE AND SQUARER TAIL
It helps you pop through chop, carry some gear and increase the boards stability, while the squared tail creates a platform to make fun step back turns.
MULTIPLE CARRY HANDLES
• For the heavy duty explorers to make the transport of the boards easier, especially if they are fully loaded.
• All our Touring boards are equipped with the tail handle and the center carry handle.
• There is an extra handle on the nose on all boards except Wave and Blue Wave
• On all 14’0″ Deluxe boards, have handles on the rails, next to the cargo area, as well as on the nose.
2-IN-1 SHOULDER CARRY STRAP & PADDLE HOLDER
- Velcro loops to attach your paddle.
- Easier to carry as the board simply hangs effortlessly on the shoulder and frees up your hand to multi-task, hold your coffee, or phone.
- When not in use, the strap sits flat on the board so it doesn’t drag in the water.
- The Zen construction only comes with 2 D-rings. The strap needs to be purchased separately aftermarket.
FREE LIGHTWEIGHT LEASH
- At only 70g, the leash is incredibly light.
- Soft cushioning means it will flatten when stood on.
- Easy to attach to the leash ring without needing any excess rope loop.
NEW DROP FIN BOX
• The outline improves the hydrodynamic efficiency of the box and reduce its drag by 50%.
• Smart reinforcements reduce the weight by 10%.
Which Touring board is suitable for me?
12'6" x 28" - The narrow width allows you to accelerate faster and improve your paddling technique as it is easier to change the paddle from side to side. This is a great crossover between race and Touring as the length of 12'6" is still a great manoeuvrable size, and suitable for riders up to 90kg. The 6" thick model provides maximum buoyancy and stiffness.
This year with Starboard Inflatables, the package comes with the 3 piece Starboard Enduro Carbon (UD) medium paddle. or the Starboard Lima Tufskin medium 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 2024 -
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 Single 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.

I ordered easily and the voucher arrived promptly. Also an email from the business was really nice.
Great equipment, decent price and very prompt delivery.
I have used this board on flat water in calm and very windy conditions. I really like this board it handles really well, is a pleasure to paddle and seems quite quick. one of the reasons for choosing this board was it is designed for lighter weight paddlers, it really does fit the bill in that respect. All in all a brilliant board. In addition the service I received from Poole Harbour Watersports was excellent.
Really prompt service, great choice of products, excellent.
Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size and had to return for an exchange, couldn’t speak highly enough of the service I received being kept updated along the way and the new coat being dispatched as soon as it was back in stock. Thank you
Cheapest you will find them and perfectly good!
