Starboard Generation Lite Tech SUP. The Generation can be described best as a touring, surfing and racing hybrid. It is designed to be a simple choice for every condition. A true high-performance all round paddle board. 2 x Gear of the Year by SUPConnect 2021, 20233-IN-1: A TRUE ONE-BOARD QUIVER – SURFING, RACING, TOURINGThe tail is refined to be sharp and equipped with thruster fin boxes, allowing it to perform well in surf and ocean swells.CONTROLLED GLIDEFairly parallel outline gives you a very a predictable and controlled glide. The nose gives you fast acceleration when sprinting as it floats on top of the water. The tail narrows into a square shape, allowing you to have very responsive turning in the surf and fast buoy turns.ROUND VEE BOTTOM SHAPEHelps lift the board so you can accelerate faster and maintain a higher top speed. It also floats over chop smoothly, making it versatile to handle all conditions. Deep double concave supports the round Vee with stability directly under foot.RAIL THICKNESSMaintained throughout the entire profile of the board, giving you a balanced glide from nose to tail. The Generation is thinner than a Touring and Race board, making it lighter to manoeuvre and easier to carry.GRADUAL NOSE KICKHelps stop the board from diving in the surf and downwind, as well as lifting over chop upwind. The curved rocker is fast on flats, smooth in the surf and very capable in chop.RECESSED PADLowers your center of gravity for greater comfort and stability. The flat deck makes it easy for you to move freely around when trimming the board and surfing on the tail.FIN SET UPProvides good straight-line tracking and is easy to buoy turn when racing. A thruster set-up with the 5.5” Armacore side fins proved the best combination for added drive and control so you can turn the board with ease in the surf.LITE TECHLIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE› Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail/ nose reinforcements.› Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area.› All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.Model14’0″ x 30″14’0″ x 28″14’0″ x 26″12’6″ x 30″12’6″ x 28″12’6″ x 26″Rider Weight50-120 kg50-110 kg45-100 kg55-110 kg50-100 kg40-90 kgLength14’0″ / 427.3 cm14’0″ / 427.5 cm14’0″ / 427.2 cm12’6″ / 381.2 cm12’6″ / 381 cm12’6″ / 380.9 cmWidth30″ / 76.3 cm28″ / 72.2 cm26″ / 66.8 cm30″ / 76.5 cm28″ / 71.1 cm26″ / 66.2 cmThickness6.5″ / 16.5 cm6.3″ / 16 cm6.3″ / 16.1 cm6.3″ / 16.1 cm6.3″ / 16 cm6.3″ / 16 cmTail Width14.6” / 37.1 cm13.8” / 35 cm12.6” / 32.1 cm17.0” / 43.0 cm16.5” / 41.9 cm12.6” / 39.6 cmVolume310 L285 L265 L272 L249 L236 LFin Set UpThrusterThrusterThrusterThrusterThrusterThrusterFinsLite Tech: 8″ Net Positive / 2 x 5.5″ Net PositiveBlue Carbon: 230 Arma Core / 2 x 5.5″ Arama Core Lite Tech: 8″ Net Positive / 2 x 5.5″ Net PositiveLite Tech:8″ Net Positive / 2 x 5.5″ Net PositiveLite Tech: 8″ Net Positive / 2 x 5.5″ Net Positive Rhino: 8″ Net Positive / 2 x 5.5″ Net PositiveBlue Carbon: 230 Arma Core / 2 x 5.5″ Arama Core Lite Tech: 8″ Net Positive / 2 x 5.5″ Net PositiveLiteTech: 8″ Net Positive / 2 x 5.5″ Net PositiveWeightLite Tech: 15.9 kg (Est.)Blue Carbon: 14.1 kg (Est.)
