2026 Starboard GEN R WITH BAG

NEW GEN-R

A NEW GENERATION OF RACING

The new Gen R represents the latest evolution in raceboard design. Developed in response to the insights gathered after the 2023 ICF World Championships and input from paddlers at all skill levels, the new Gen R is designed to offer superior performance in various conditions, while being user friendly to all racers.

VERSATILE DESIGN

Flat water, technical raceing, beach starts, and light-medium open ocean paddling area ideal for the new Gen R. The lighter, thinner design gives you more control and the ability to paddle in a wide range of race scenarios, from flat-water sprints to choppy downwind runs.

FAST AND RESPONSIVE

The All Star-inspired round tail gives the Gen R better glide, faster speeds and a more forgiving feel when paddling in the ocean. The tail has been designed to be responsive in turns and offers excellent water release.

›  NEW RAILS
The round rails on toward the nose rails give control and tracking in the side wind, offering the perfect balance of control and balance.

›  NEW ROCKERLINE
A blend of the previous Gen-R toward the nose, combined with the All Star toward the back of the board. Great control in rough conditions while offering amazing acceleration in flatwater.

›  LOW STANDING AREA
The new Gen-R features a 1.5cm lower standing area than its predecessor. This slight drop results in a lower center of gravity for the rider, improving overall stability and control.

›  NOSE VEE
Designed to help shed water off the deck and improve the board’s handling in chop and waves and enhancing the “pop” in choppy conditions.

›  RECESSED EVA HANDLE
1cm EVA Recessed handle gives a soft and forgiving grip during beach starts or when carrying the board. This handle is especially useful during running beach starts.

›  EXTENDED STANDING AREA
The standing area on the new Gen-R has been extended further forwards for easy stance trimming in sprints and downwind.

›  THIN AND LIGHT DESIGN
The new Gen-R is thinner than its predecessor with less volume, making it lighter, faster and more nimble, particularly in side winds or during beach starts.

›  BOARD SOCK
Reduces paper waste and protects your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made of stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes and has a secure drawstring closure.
