The Starboard Rush new Stand Up Paddle (SUP) board for the intermediate to advanced paddler.
"If you can ride a 9'0" then you can ride the Rush", says Steve Sjuggerud.
With the Rush you have a stable yet maneuverable shape,
a combination not seen since the Whopper was introduced. The shape equipped with a 19cm center middle fin and M4.7” side fins provides a drive and control that will open your mind and give you a new perception of SUP surfing. If you own a SUP shape longer than 9’0”, it’s time to go get a Rush in your quiver.
“Mono concave in the nose and middle transitional to a flat V”
- Compliments anyone who rides a 9'0" after a rad wave board
- This wide styled wave board makes short boarding easy
- Thruster set-up

Durable, Tough, Light and the Most Value
Maximum durability and value. Tufskin AST technology uses layers of 3 dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system that creates volume within the skin as it cures under pressure. This creates a thick, stiff, and durable sandwiched laminate. A 3/4 - deck wood layer improves rigidity and deck impact resistance.
Advantages: tough and light construction, more value, most durable offering.
Fin Technology
There are two types of materials used in the fins throughout the Starboard range. The Hexcel composite fins are designed to maintain the flex characteristics of a fibreglass fin, whilst reducing the weight, but also maintaining strength. It has been found that an optimum response/flex for SUP's of shorter length and larger waves are these stiffer Hexcel fins for instant response. The injection moulded (PA+GF 30%) fins provide the added flex found suitable for larger boards and smaller surf for a smoother sensation through the arc of a cutback.
Factors of a fins design which are critical include, base width (drive for acceleration) depth (Grip/Hold) sweep (pivot) and foil (speed/drive). These culminate to provide the ultimate blend of a fin's characteristics suited to each particular board. Obviously different boards require different fin configurations which are ultimately suited best to each, whether it be quad or tri (sometimes both), as well as with various sizes (Lengths and widths). It has been with great care that the best combination has been tested for each of the boards through out the range. (Obviously people's body weight will come into effect to some extent).
