2025 Starboard Generation Blue Carbon

Generations Ahead of the Rest 3-in-1: A true one-board quiver Race, tour, and surf with a single board Range is great for progression

What can you expect from the shape?

The Generation can be described best as a touring, surfing and racing hybrid. It is designed to be a simple choice for every condition. The tail is refined to be sharp and equipped with thruster fin boxes, allowing it to perform well in surf and ocean swells. The Generation also has accessories like bungee tie-downs to secure touring equipment and a carry handle for easy carrying.

Key Features

• FCS Insert: On the nose allows you to mount accessories such as a phone GPS, navigation light or camera. (Only available with Blue Carbon)
• Round Vee: Helps lift the board so you can accelerate faster and maintain a higher top speed. It also floats over chop smoothly, making it versatile to handle all conditions. 3. BUNGEE TIE DOWN Directly in front of the standing area make it convenient and accessible for you to store any gear when touring and cruising.
• Recessed Pad: Lowers your center of gravity for greater comfort and stability. The flat deck makes it easy for you to move freely around when trimming the board and surfing on the tail.
• Deep Double Concave: Supports the round Vee with stability directly under foot.
• 2-in-1 Shoulder Carry Strap and Paddle Holder
• Outline: Fairly parallel outline gives you a very a predictable and controlled glide. The nose gives you fast acceleration when sprinting as it floats on top of the water. The tail narrows into a square shape, allowing you to have very responsive turning in the surf and fast buoy turns.
• Rail Tuck Edge: The rails are round to avoid you catching the nose, sharpening at the middle to create a stable platform, through to sharp edge at the tail to carve in surf.
• Gradual Nose Kick: Helps stop the board from diving in surf and downwind, as well as lifting over chop upwind. The curved rocker is fast on flats, smooth in the surf and very capable in chop.
• Rail Thickness: Maintained throughout the entire profile of the board, giving you a balanced glide from nose to tail. The Generation is thinner than a Touring and Race board, making it lighter to maneuver and easier to carry.
• 230 Center Fin:  Provides good straight-line tracking and is easy to buoy turn when racing. A thruster set-up with the 5.5” side fins proved the best combination for added drive and control so you can turn the board with ease in the surf.
