Starboard Blend Wide Ride SUP 2023

BLEND - WIDE RIDE WITH REAL GLIDE

The Wide Ride range was the world’s first wide and short SUP wave board. It helps everyone go paddle surfing and made Starboard the instant leader in SUP surfing. The trademark thin rails bite into the wave just like a smaller board and let you manoeuvre off the top and in bottom turns in ways not expected. The wider nose and tail outline make it ultra-stable and forgiving.

The thin rails mean you need less effort to turn on rail, as there is less volume holding the board back from sinking in the turn. The side fins are closer to the rail; providing a quicker response. The smaller wide rides provide faster and tighter turning.

What size is the BLEND?

9’8” x 30” BLEND ELEMENT – The 9’8” is an ideal option if you are a lighter rider wanting an all round board for cruising and surfing. The 30” width makes it responsive to manoeuvre; fast in the waves and easier to track on flat-water as you can keep the paddle straighter with every stroke.

Available in only Lite Tech, it is a great value offering sup surf under 10’0” with comfortable cruising. The bottom shape is mono-concave to double concave to vee.

What is the difference in the construction?

Starboard not only make a range of board shapes, but the board design can also come in different constructions, depending on the performance, durability and weight you seek from the board.
