Starboard SUP Generation 12’6” – The Ultimate All-Around Paddleboard
Ultimate Versatility on the Water
The 2024 Starboard SUP Generation 12’6” Lite Tech Wave is the ultimate do-it-all paddleboard, designed for those who refuse to be limited by a single style of paddling. Whether you’re carving waves, racing through flat water, or embarking on a long-distance touring adventure, this board delivers high performance across all conditions. The narrow nose and double concave bottom provide impressive speed and control, while the thruster fin system ensures precision maneuverability when riding ocean swells. The gradual nose kick and rail tuck edge make this board responsive and smooth, adapting effortlessly to everything from glassy lakes to wind-blown chop.
Stability Meets Speed
Engineered for both seasoned paddlers and ambitious beginners, the Generation Lite Tech combines stability with acceleration for an easy and confidence-inspiring ride. Its fairly parallel outline gives you a predictable and controlled glide, while the round vee bottom shape helps the board lift effortlessly, allowing for quick acceleration and a high top speed. The recessed pad lowers your center of gravity for enhanced stability, making foot adjustments seamless whether you’re sprinting, cruising, or carving turns in the surf.
Designed for Comfort & Convenience
With features built for both practicality and performance, the Starboard SUP Generation makes every paddle session easier and more enjoyable. The available add-on multi-function shoulder carry strap ensures hassle-free transport, while the bungee tie-down system keeps your gear secure when heading out on extended tours. The rail thickness is maintained throughout, keeping the board lightweight yet durable for long-lasting performance. Plus, the included 8″ Net Positive center fin enhances straight-line tracking and allows for effortless buoy turns when racing. Whether you’re chasing waves or exploring tranquil waters, this board is crafted to elevate your experience.

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.
