Introducing the Gen-R: Your Ultimate Companion for Surf Racing and All-Round Paddling Adventures
Experience the pinnacle of performance with the Gen-R, meticulously crafted to redefine your water adventures. Whether you're conquering waves or gliding through serene waters, this board is your trusted partner.
Engineered with precision, the Gen-R boasts a slightly recessed deck designed for unparalleled stability. Say goodbye to wobbles and hello to seamless maneuvers, whether you're beach starting or reboarding with ease. Our innovative design ensures that every moment on the water is effortlessly enjoyable.
But that's not all. We've listened to your feedback and optimized the lower rail height and reduced nose thickness, fulfilling the requests of our valued riders, especially those seeking technical superiority in races and buoy turning. With enhanced handling in choppy conditions, the Gen-R empowers you to navigate with confidence, no matter the challenge.
The Gen-R strikes the perfect balance between our flat water Sprint model and the open ocean prowess of our All Star model. It's the ideal companion for those seeking versatility without compromise. And for our younger riders, the Gen-R is a dream come true, offering unmatched speed and intuitive operation.
With the Gen-R by your side, every paddle becomes an adventure, every race a triumph. Elevate your water experience today and discover the difference with the Gen-R. Unleash your potential and conquer the water like never before.
FASTER ACCELERATION
The low nose rocker and narrow nose outline help increase the acceleration and overall efficiency on flat. This acceleration is essential for tech racing, beach starts and explosive sprints after buoy turns.
SOLID TURNING AND STABILITY FROM THE TAIL
The wider tail outline combined with the flat deck makes it very comfortable to move and be stable during the turn.
SLICING NOSE
The narrow outline in the tip of the nose is intended to slice efficiently in flat water as well as on ocean bumps. The lower nose rocker shares genetics with the Sprint, extending the waterline for faster acceleration and prolonged glide. Although the low nose rocker aids in early bump detection, the rider must move back to trim while riding bumps.
OPTIMISED NOSE VOLUME
The nose volume is designed to take on medium ocean chop and perform in technical racing, surf, and flat water. It is generally thinner than the All Star by approximately 4cm in thickness.
SEMI-RECESSED DECK
The deck has been designed to have a slightly lowered standing tray for stability. At the same time, the side walls are low, making beach starts and getting back on the board much easier.
ROUND RAILS
The soft, round rails run the entire length of the board. This allows the board to be balanced in chop and predictable in surf and downwind. The round rails are wide for stability and balance.
FLAT BOTTOM
The best bottom shape for a range of conditions, the flat bottom is fast in anything from surf to sprints. The flat bottom is very predictable to control in flat and ocean chop.
WIDE TAIL
Features a wide tail with a sharp release. Turning is super easy on this model, and the wide tail also gives you great control in the surf.
SINGLE DRAIN HOLE
The single center drain hole allows water from the semi-recessed deck to fully drain. Although hardly any water sits on the deck while paddling, the single center drain hole funnels excess water out of the cockpit. The recessed carbon scupper minimises any drag for a clean release.
MULTIPLE HANDLE POSITIONS
The Gen-R is the technical/beach race specialist. Handles are modular with our screw in system to fine tune handle positioning.
10” FIN BOX
The Gen-R is our first race model to feature the 10” fin box to fine tune rider fin preference. We have fitted the Gen-R with a larger box for adjustability. Short course racing would benefit from a fin further forward for fast turning, while longer races suit a fin further back in the box. Box placement varies for downwinding as some riders may prefer less or more tracking when surfing bumps.
THINNER PROFILE, LIGHTWEIGHT BUILD
One of the key design criteria for the Gen-R was the light weight, thinner profile technical race board. This much anticipated model is built to be a thinner model for faster acceleration, easy beach starting and great performance in surf and around buoy turns. The thinner profile also helps keep control in side wind and side chop.
PREPREG CARBON FIN
The 3k pre-impregnated carbon biax is an ultra-lightweight weave and creates super stiff performance throughout the fin. The trailing edge features a super sharp 0.4mm for clean hydrodynamics. The new range of fins adds speed and performance like never before.
BOARD SOCK
Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes. Ensure optimal board maintenance with the iconic blue Board Sock, featuring a secure drawstring closure.
BOARD BAG OPTION
Option to purchase board with Starboard Recover Board Bag
BLUE CARBON CONSTRUCTION
• Offers a full carbon construction that combines strength and weight at a truly competitive value.
• Biaxial Carbon wraps the full deck and rail giving you excellent competitive weight and strength properties.
• Carbon stringer on the deck provides additional impact and stiffness.
• Extra glass reinforcements wrap the sharp edges and inside rails of the cockpit for extra rigidity and strength.
LIGHTWEIGHT BIAXIAL CARBON
Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire board, joining with an overlap on the deck and bottom to create at stringer, increasing the total breakage strength. The 45-degree woven fiber brings an ultra-crisp and responsive flex and creates the skeleton structure to strengthen the entire board.
UD CARBON
UD Carbon stringers help increase further the total breakage strength on the surf models. *The Generation being a thicker model uses Glass T-Stringers deck and bottom to increase the overall strength.
GLASS SHELL
2 layers of glass wrap the EPS under the Carbon to create a strong shell.
RIGID STANDING AREA
SUSTAINABLY SOURCED PINE
A standing area of 0.6mm Australian Pine is added for extra deck impact resistance and rigidity.
MULTIPLE REINFORCEMENT
In the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.
INFUSED PAINT PIGMENT
Paint pigment is infused into the resin during lamination, resulting in a lighter weight board, eliminates paint chipping and reduces the release of harmful paint toxins.
EPS CORE – 15 KG/M³ DENSITY
Shear resistant, fused and moulded individually to fit each and every Starboard board providing high strength at the lightest weight. Our moulded core technology produces zero EPS wastage.
