“2018 Starboard 12’6″ Touring Zen, maximize the simplicity”
The 2018 Starboard Inflatable 12’6″ Touring Zen boards have cruised lakes, rivers, bays and oceans all around the world for the past few years. We have seen them on podiums at many local races. A highly efficient shape for cruising and exploring with good glide to cover distance for riders up to 240 lbs. Maximizing glide and stability, the inflatable 12’6″ Touring Zen is designed to carry supplies and accessories for all adventures.
-
12’6”x31” with the added length and width offers a faster
glide at a comfortable stability. Ideal for heavier riders up and
for those wanting a stable race option.
-
11’6”x30” with its shorter length is more adapt to lighter
riders who want a board that is easier to maneuver on the water.
Our lightest board construction, ZEN, is now stiffer and comes
with reinforcement plates in the standing area.
By carefully nesting the reinforcements, Starboard offer the lightest board
they have ever produced. A great sensation while paddling.
A very light board: Re-engineered Zen technology: more fibres, less
coating and optimized glue usage. On the water you will sense the
acceleration and fun feel of a light hull.
A great sensation while paddling: The triple-sandwich rail laminate
acts as dual stringer stiffeners and also make the rails incredibly strong.
We replace double PVC layers with twin 2000 denier deck and bottom
stringers, providing the board that rigid, crisp and stiff feel.
Clean Technology: The lamination process uses minimal
glue and solvent and packing of the board is free of plastic.
Faster board inflation, with less effort: The benchmark
V8 flow valve gets you to 15–18 PSI faster and with less effort.
The innovative Rail Edge helps the water release off the board’s tail for
optimal glide and speed. The Rail Edge is still easily folded and rolled
when deflating.
The exclusive and innovative lightweight Starboard SUP leash will be your
best paddling partner in flat water and touring conditions.
Leash is NOT
suited to waves or white water. Compact in design and at only 70g, it is
strong, comfortable and effortless to wear.
