Their main focus was to build their boards stiffer, lighter, more stable, safer and way more durable. One feature, one of many unique to Starboard, is their Welding Technology. The welding technology carries over into 2021 as a proven technology with industry leading quality and durability. What's new for 2021? The wider nose and squarer tail make the Touring boards more stable, specially for harsh conditions like side chop and moderate winds Zen model now comes with the Re-Cover Bag, rear cargo net, diamond cut rear tail pad Updated board graphics Updated bag graphics Zen - Linear Drop Stitch Starboard's leanest, lightest and most budget friendly construction. Stripped down to the core essentials. Built with single layer linear drop stitch, double rail band and heat welded rails. The new tool-less fin system is quick and easy to set up. More responsive, stiffer & lighter Linear alignment of space yarns, oriented only in warp direction (the direction of the board's length), maximizing the stiffness and response. Linear dropstich also secures the board's shape better over time compared to standard knitted dropstitch. Linear dropstich with single layer coating is the lightest offering in our collection. What does it mean for you? An ultra light board with the best stiffness that single layer technology can offer, you can feel the acceleration. Welding Technology Heated and bonded for life. Glue is never forever. Mechanical bond = Strength and Durability. Starboard's new welding technique turns two into one - using heat to bond two separate pieces of PVC into a single solid unit. Heat-welded PVC creates a mechanical bond that's stronger, lasts longer - and is better for the environment. Since the beginning inflatable boards have been glued together at the seam, so the boards only last as long as the glue. Over the last few years Starboard have worked with welding machine manufacturers to develop better machinery for seam welding. Then they helped train their selected OEM assembler to utilize this unique technology in Starboard's exclusive production lines, resulting in a long lasting mechanical bond.
