Product Details
The Starboard 11'2 Blend is easily one of our favourite inflatable paddleboards, not only from Starboard but of any brand. Everyone board in someway is a compromise but the Blend offers the least compromise of almost any inflatable board we have paddled due to its ability to combine great flat water performance with lots of ability in the surf, making it extremely versatile in the hands of a novice through to an expert. With a long waterline length of 11'2 for an all-rounder, the Starboard Blend glides very well of flat water, offering excellent tracking and great touring capability for paddlers upto 115kg. While it's refinded narrow tail makes it lively and responsive in the surf, getting the most out of the hard wearing thruster fin set up mounted very far down the tail of this inflatable paddleboard.
Starboard have refined their inflatable Zen board construction for 2018; with more drop stitch fibres and twin compression stringers combining to produce a much stiffer board. While overall paddleboard weight has been lowered due to a reduction in the coating and glue used, creating the lightest Starboard inflatable ever. Flexible reinforcement plates have also been nested together in key standing areas completing this excellent construction method.
