STARBOARD SPRINT 14'0"x28"
"Shape and construction are engineered as one to
maximize performance from every paddle stroke."
DESIGN OVERVIEW
The 2014 Sprint is designed for the most demanding racer who needs a hull
capable of accelerating in a heartbeat, achieving lightening sprinting
performance and maintaining highly-efficient cruising speeds that sap minimum
energy. Targeted at flat water, we nevertheless built good buoyancy into this
board enabling riders with good balance to perform in chop or on a downwind
run. Every aspect of this board has been highly engineered using hydrodynamic,
hydrostatic, structural flex and ergonomic principles.
DESIGN FEATURES
SHARPENED TUCKED RAIL UNDER STANCE AREA The feature creates a better stability
and control in the standing area and helps planing performance during the
upstroke.
ROUND TAIL RAILS
These minimize the resistance while trailed in the upstroke giving great
semi-planing performance.
DOUBLE CONCAVE IN MID-SECTION
Helps stability and transition from V in the nose to mono-concave at tail.
SINGLE CONCAVE IN TAIL AREA
Helps in pushing the board forward on each downstroke, while propelling it
forward and up on each upstroke.
SLENDER HULL
A slender hull is the key to performance, allowing you to paddle beyond hull
speed.
LOW NOSE ROCKER
A low nose rocker maximizes the waterline and provides minimal transversal
area, which is subject to direct vector drag.
RAKED FOILED NOSE
The foil shape creates a vertical lift when submerged, preventing nose diving
and allowing the board to cut efficiently through the chop, reducing pitching
motion.
SHARP EDGES ON FRONT DECK
This characteristic helps delaminate water flow on the deck, minimizing
wrapping in high momentum nose area.
