KEY PRO FEATURES:
› PERFORMANCE THIN RAILS
Thin rails reduce swing weight at the nose, enhancing pivot speed through turns. Fuller rails in the midsection maintain speed, while thinner rails at the tail provide increased bite and control.› NARROW NOSE OUTLINE
The narrow nose fits tight into the pocket of hollow waves, reducing the nose catching during fast, explosive turns. The rail line helps draw a precise line and enables you to tuck into the critical section of the wave on late, steep drops.› DECK SHAPE
The deck remains fairly flat to provide comfort and stability in choppy conditions, conserving energy for longer sessions. It transitions to a slight dome as the rails thin out.› BOTTOM SHAPE
Single concave provides lift and speed, feeding through to a double midsection and slight vee at the tail to manoeuvre and rock from rail to rail.› SQUASH TAIL
Gives the most versatile performance in all wave types, particularly holding in bigger surf.› RAIL SHAPE
A sharp rail edge from the tail to just in front of the fins helps create a firm edge for control and responsive grip through turns. Forward of the fins, the rails soften and roll to aid in transitioning between maneuvers and maintaining speed.› ROCKER CURVE
The moderate nose rocker prevents catching on steep drops and turns. A flattened midsection boosts speed, while a clean tail kick curve allows for snappy turns and easy rotation, blending speed with maneuverability.› FIN OPTIONS
The 5-fin setup offers 4+1 and 2+1 options, allowing choice based on riding style and wave conditions. Updated fin angles enhance front splay for manoeuvrability and reduce rear angle for drive. All models are supplied with a Thruster fin setup but when set in Quad mode deliver an even faster and more responsive ride.
Starboard Pro 2026 Acute Carbon
9’0” x 30” | 144L
Remains a favourite for heavier riders up to 120 kg. The new outline is faster generating speed and easier to rotate through turns as it has reduced swing weight. A great option if you want max stability with pro surfing performance.
8’7” x 29.5” | 130L
The 8’7″ retains the same dimensions, yet feels more stable and less corky from the flatter deck. The fine rails and sharp squash tail hold well in the bigger surf, allowing you to feel more in control to push harder on your bottom turns! A slightly flatter tail rocker and pulled-in nose translates into a faster down-the-line speed.
8’2” x 29” | 118L
The 8’2″ replaces the previous 8’0″, extending the length to catch waves that bit earlier and to hold its line in steeper drops. The 8’2″ at 118 L will be highly popular for riders up to 95kg. The new fin position gives you the needed bite and manoeuvrability, coupled with drive-through turns!
7’10” x 28” | 104L
The 7’10” is slightly thinner yet longer than the previous 7’7″, making the float feel less corky despite the reduced volume. The added length and narrower nose aids late entry in hollower waves, giving you more speed to confidently make critical sections. Squash tail feels smooth and secure when you drive off the bottom and hit the lip!
7’5” x 26.75” | 92L
Feeling like a surfboard, the 7’5″ was a hit among testers for its ability to float riders up to 80kg, yet turn heads in performance! The narrow nose wants to whip through turns and allows you to sit deep in the pocket of waves. The higher nose rocker feels more forgiving, while the thin rails nose and tail feel ultra-responsive to foot pressure.
7’4” x 25” | 85 L NEW
Developed in close collaboration with Camille Dubrana, the 85L Pro is designed for riders up to 80–85 kg who demand peak performance in SUP surfing. Pro rider tested and refined across Bali and Thailand, this board features ultra-thin rails that deliver superior hold in powerful surf while maintaining impressive speed and fluidity to link turns seamlessly in smaller conditions. Whether carving up head-high waves or making the most of everyday swell, the 85L Pro delivers elite-level responsiveness and flow.
7’2” x 23.5” | 74L
Unleash your potential in bigger, hollower waves with the groundbreaking 7’2” Pro model. This board, requested by Zane Schweitzer and Benoit Carpentier, takes performance to new heights. Featuring dimensions of 2″ longer and half an inch narrower than the World Championship-winning 7’0”x24” Pro model, it excels in steep drops and barrel riding. The narrower outline ensures faster speeds, while the pulled-in rounded pin tail with super thin rails provides effortless bottom turns and solid control in challenging surf.
7’0” x 24” | 75L
The 7’0″ shape feels amazing, really reactive and more high performance” ~ Benoit Carpentier. Between rail shape, outline and fin position, the 7’0″ delivers more control in bigger surf and carries it flow to link manoeuvres. Leonard Nika loved the feeling of the new model, giving the confidence to improve and progress his surfing to the next level!
