14'0" x 29" Sprint Airline Deluxe SC Inflatable SUP

The 2023/24 Starboard 14′ x 29″ Sprint Airline inflatable paddle board is a top-tier racing SUP designed to deliver exceptional speed and maneuverability, rivaling its composite counterparts. Built for flatwater racing, this board features a slim nose design that effortlessly cuts through water, and a balanced center of gravity positioned behind the midpoint, ensuring impressive acceleration.

Stability and Versatility

The 14′ x 29″ Sprint Airline is the most stable option in the Sprint range, thanks to its 29" width. The board also boasts an EVA standing tray, which adds extra stability and control, especially in choppy conditions. While primarily designed as a race board for riders up to 230 lbs, it doubles as a fast touring board, with a wide tail section offering plenty of space for gear if you plan to embark on an expedition.

Innovative Construction and Technology

This board is crafted using Deluxe Woven Fusion dropstitch technology, making it lightweight yet strong. The Airline System enhances stiffness, giving the board a solid and stable feel, even in rough waters. A key feature is the standing tray, which adds comfort and control, while the edge release technology reduces drag, creating a smooth flow and promoting better glide.

Airline Technology for Ultimate Performance

Starboard’s Airline Technology utilizes a free-floating aramid cable, which locks the board into shape when inflated. This cable runs from the nose to the fin box, tightening as the board inflates, significantly increasing stiffness. In testing, this technology reduced hull deflection by 1.8 cm, giving the board a firmer, more reliable feel. World Champion Connor Baxter is a strong advocate of this system, praising its impact on board performance.
