Starboard SUP Generation 14’0″ Lite Tech – Speed, Stability & Adventure
Unleash Performance Across All Waters
The 2024 Starboard SUP Generation 14’0″ Lite Tech Wave is designed for paddlers seeking a balance of speed, stability, and adaptability. Whether you’re charging through ocean swells, sprinting in a race, or enjoying a long-distance touring adventure, this board is built to handle it all. The elongated 14’0″ shape enhances glide efficiency, while the narrow nose and double concave bottom optimize speed and control. A thruster fin system ensures effortless maneuverability, whether catching waves or navigating tight turns. The gradual nose kick and rail tuck edge further refine its performance, providing a smooth, responsive ride across all conditions.
Precision Speed with Unmatched Glide
The longer waterline of the Generation 14’0″ delivers superior acceleration and efficiency, making it an ideal choice for paddlers focused on speed and distance. Its fairly parallel outline ensures a predictable, controlled glide, while the round vee bottom shape helps lift the board, minimizing drag and maximizing top speed. The recessed deck pad lowers your center of gravity for greater stability, giving you the confidence to adjust your stance whether sprinting, carving turns, or gliding effortlessly over chop.
Comfort, Convenience & Durability
Designed with both performance and practicality in mind, the Starboard SUP Generation 14’0″ is packed with features that enhance every paddling experience. The available add-on multi-function shoulder carry strap allows for easy transport, while bungee tie-downs provide secure storage for gear on extended tours. The reinforced rail thickness maintains structural integrity without adding excess weight, making the board durable yet agile. Equipped with an 8″ Net Positive center fin, it offers exceptional tracking and smooth buoy turns, ensuring precision control no matter the conditions.

10 X Climate Positive
For every board Starboard plants 3 mangrove trees with Worldview International Foundation.
Each tree absorbs 673kg of CO2 during its first 25 years.
50% of absorption goes towards offsetting this board & 50% is secured as carbon credits to fund livelihood projects in Myanmar.
The average emission from a Starboard board is 100 kg CO2.
By planting 3 trees per board we offset this 10 x over.
Plastic Offset Program
1.4 kg of trash is collected per board by starboard pop crews at beaches in Thailand & Myanmar.
Globally, an individual is responsible for 1.4 kg of plastic reaching the ocean every year.
Starboard balances this amount for our customers.
