The iGO Zen, an 11'2" by 31+" inflatable paddle board, stands out as one of Starboard's all-time best sellers. This board is designed with a single chamber and an outline that achieves the perfect balance between speed and stability, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced paddlers. The 31" width not only enhances the board's glide but also contributes to its exceptional stability. This is further supported by the wide outline at both the nose and the tail.
The construction of the iGO Zen follows the linear knitted drop-stitch technique, with all yarns aligned in a straight line from nose to tail. This method, coupled with Starboard's welding technology, ensures a mechanical bond between the rail bands and the drop-stitch material. Additionally, the outer rail band is crafted from 2000D galvanized rail material, which contains twice the number of fabrics compared to industry standards, providing unparalleled strength.
The iGO is versatile, available in both the stand-up paddleboard (SUP) Zen version and a SUP windsurfing Deluxe variant. The latter is equipped with a longer EVA pad and windsurfing accessories for added functionality.
The iGO Zen has features such as a carry handle on the tail for lifting the fin out of water, a central carry handle, and two D-rings for attaching a shoulder strap that doubles as a paddle holder, enhance the board's usability. Furthermore, the board comes with a backpack equipped with roller wheels and shoulder straps, offering multiple transport options, and a V8 double action pump for easy inflation.
