Starboard Sprint 12'6 x 28.0 (V 28)

The 2014 Sprint is designed for the most demanding racer who needs a hull capable of accelerating in a heartbeat, achieving lightening sprinting performance and maintaining highly-efficient cruising speeds that sap minimum energy. Targeted at flat water, we nevertheless built good buoyancy into this board enabling riders with good balance to perform in chop or on a downwind run. Every aspect of this board has been highly engineered using hydrodynamic, hydrostatic, structural flex and ergonomic principles.

• SHARPENED TUCKED RAIL UNDER STANCE AREAThe feature creates a better stability and control in the standing area and helps planing performance during the upstroke.
• ROUND TAIL RAILS These minimize the resistance while trailed in the upstroke giving great semi-planing performance.
• DOUBLE CONCAVE IN MID-SECTION Helps stability and transition from V in the nose to mono-concave at tail.
• SINGLE CONCAVE IN TAIL AREA Helps in pushing the board forward on each downstroke, while propelling it forward and up on each upstroke.
• SLENDER HULL A slender hull is the key to performance, allowing you to paddle beyond hull speed.
• LOW NOSE ROCKER A low nose rocker maximizes the waterline and provides minimal transversal area, which is subject to direct vector drag.
• RAKED FOILED NOSE The foil shape creates a vertical lift when submerged, preventing nose diving and allowing the board to cut efficiently through the chop, reducing pitching motion.
• SHARP EDGES ON FRONT DECK This characteristic helps delaminate water flow on the deck, minimizing wrapping in high momentum nose area.
