Starboard Surf Wedge Deluxe - 2024

The Starboard Surf Wedge Deluxe pairs Starboard's famed classic surf outline with a narrowed nose and pronounced rocker with their latest Deluxe inflatable construction to create an incredibly rigid inflatable surf SUP that delivers unrivaled performance.

This is the sort of board that is worth choosing carefully, because the right shape can make paddling feel easy and rewarding, while the wrong one can feel hard work from day one.

Where it sits in the range

This sits in the more surf-oriented part of the Starboard range. Compared with a touring or all-round board, it gives you more manoeuvrability and a looser feel on a wave face, but you give away some straight-line glide and flat-water ease.

Surf Wedge Deluxe - 2024 makes the most sense for paddlers whose priorities match its shape and intended use. If you want help getting the right size or deciding between this and another Starboard model, our honest advice is to compare the options before buying rather than guessing.

That depends on the exact shape. Some Starboard boards are confidence-building first purchases, while others are more specialised and reward a bit more experience. If you are unsure, ask us and we will tell you plainly whether this is the right fit or whether another model would make the learning curve easier.

Yes. If you are choosing between sizes, shapes or constructions, our Woodmill SUP Test Centre is one of the best ways to get the decision right first time. It is particularly helpful with Starboard boards because the differences between models are very noticeable on the water.
