Description
STARLITE
THE STRONGEST RAIL EVER TESTED
Ultra-durable, scratch and impact resistant woven 200g twill azure rail protection.
The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom to protect against total breakage. The T-stringers are positioned close to the rail working like an i-beam to endure heavy drops and strong wipeouts.
Starlite now features a full deck of 0.6mm Australian pine wood which is sandwiched between 2 glass outer skins, increasing the overall total breakage strength and reducing the weight due to lower resin absorption.
LITE TECH
LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE
Extra rigidity with introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail / nose reinforcements.
Australian pine on standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area.
All inserts have added high density foam reinforcements.
THE WIDE RIDE WITH REAL GLIDE Wide Ride has a surf ‘n cruise paddle board size for all rider weights and abilities; the bigger models produce the easiest glide and stability, while the smaller sizes deliver more control and manoeuvrability. Wide Ride: the wave-ripper for real-world riders!
THIN RAILS ON WIDE BOARDS You will sense the trademark thin rails biting into the wave just like a smaller board and let you manoeuvre off the top and in bottom turns in ways not expected. The thin rails mean you need less effort to turn on rail, as there is less volume holding the board back from sinking into the turn.
SHORT NOSE OUTLINE Makes it easier to pivot turn and fit in the critical section of the wave without catching the nose.
NOSE KICK Prevents the nose from diving when getting into waves and paddling in choppy water.
FLAT ROCKER In the center provides efficient glide and speed on flats.
FLAT STANDING AREA Allows to have a wider stance for extra stability in chop.
MODERATE TAIL KICK Allows for tighter turning when standing back on the tail
WIDE ROUNDED TAIL Improves stability when stepping on the board to turn. It also gives release out of turns.
MONO TO DOUBLE CONCAVE BOTTOM Provides speed to catch the wave and then has sensitive rail-to-rail turning from the midpoint.
CHANNEL TAIL Makes it easier to carry speed and hold through maneuverers.
SIDE FIN BOXES Are positioned closer to the rail for quicker response in turns. Minimal change yet a big improvement.
FIN SET UP Thruster fin set up provides comfortable straight-line tracking on flat and gives drive and control in surf.
Starlite comes with Armacore center fin, Net Positive side fins.
Lite Tech Wave comes with Net Positive fins.
NEW BOARD SOCK Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes. Ensure optimal board maintenance with the iconic blue Board Sock, featuring a secure drawstring closure.
