Best Inflatable board of the year awarded by SUPConnect Magazine

 

Experience the Starboard difference even before entering the water, these lightweight paddle boards feature the trademark Starboard shoulder carry strap which allows you to effortlessly carry it to the water, with both hands free! Before you get on board, you can secure yourself with the included flat lightweight leash, paddle safely and comfortably knowing your board is a life raft. The Bungee straps at the nose are good for storing all sort of dry bags or gear on your next big SUP adventure.

The iGO boards are known for being steady, having good speed and being super easy to turn while stepping back onto the wide tail area. The board’s straight outline helps to paddle straight and you can paddle more strokes on one side before you need to swap over, which also helps comfort and even increases the overall speed. This is the perfect paddle board range option for first-time paddlers, families with pets and anyone who wants less fuss and more enjoyable water time anywhere.

 

Starboard plants 3 mangroves for every board produced

The production of one board results in approximately 100 kg of CO2. A mighty mangrove is planted to soak up the CO2 that Starboard releases into the atmosphere during production. It actually absorbs 1000kg of CO2. That's 10x what Starboard causes.

Mangroves are planted in the Heyerdahl Climate Park. More than 1,000,000 have already been planted.

Each of us generates 5 tons of CO2 per year, which causes climate problems. 1 mangrove can absorb 1 ton of CO2 annually...

Plastic waste reduction program

Rewinding to late 2017, when teams at the Starboard Test Centre in Thailand were heading out into the ocean but before entering the water they would collect handfuls of plastic waste. The teams would get so frustrated that during each of their sessions they would come across this waste that was contaminating the seawater and shorelines and impacting biodiversity.

After a while, the waste collections grew before water sessions and the visibly of the waste was getting worse and worse. The founder of Starboard wanted to do more to help. Then he developed the idea, of an internal tax placed upon plastic usage within Starboard, that in return can be used to fund plastic waste cleanups. Starboard then assigned a dollar value to each material based on its lifespan, recycled/bio content, and its ability to harm the environment, then multiplied this by how much is used in products. Fast forward to today, and we now assign 18 THB per KG we need to collect, this is then charged to the profits of the company and pays collectors to remove plastic from the beaches in Thailand.

The Plastic Offset Program was created by Starboard and aims to reduce the amount of waste which stays within the natural environment through clean up. Our collection teams intersect beaches after storms during the monsoon, to collect as much waste as possible to limit the impact on nature. Additionally, the program aims to reduce the amount of waste being incinerated to generate energy and consistently works on ways to increase the amount of waste recycled into new products each year.

Starboard is guilty of contributing to the success of the plastic industry. However, we aim to become part of the solution by reducing our reliance on virgin plastic materials and collecting plastic waste for each board.
When you purchase a board, you are helping us pick up more trash through our Plastic Offset Program. For each board produced we have picked up 1.1 kg of beach/ocean plastic trash. In the last couple of years, this was the estimated amount of plastic trash entering the ocean, per person, per year. This year, we are upping the collection number to the new estimated number, 1.4 kg, following the world trend of exponentially increasing ocean plastics.

The ICUN estimates at least 8 million tonnes of plastic reach the oceans each year. As water lovers, this is something we experience during every session we have on the water and we see this problem increasing at an alarming rate. The problem is here and we have to act now.

The POP program encourages us to rethink and reinvent how we use plastic and further reduce plastic consumption. Eliminating plastics from production, or switching to less harmful varieties and recycled sources (and thus with lower offset prices) incentivised re-engineering and reduction of plastic consumption habits.

The favorite board for all explorers

Difference between Enduro and Lima?

Starboard Lima oars

Starboard does not add paddles to its boards (except for the Zen collection). People are too different for us to all have the same paddle. The choice is huge, from the basic Tufskin paddle to the competitive carbon one.

If you buy the paddle together with the Starboard sup board, we give you a discount of EUR 80 - enter the discount code SBVESLO80 at the checkout

Starboard Enduro paddles

Enduro paddles are more classic teardrop shapes. They are intended for use on waves and calm waters.

The wider bottom section is extremely effective in catching balance as soon as the paddle is in the water. Also used by Zane Schweizer - another world champion on Starboard gear.
