2024 Starboard GO
The perfect introductory/ beginner paddle board for first time paddlers who want to paddle fast and stay dry. A progressive, versatile shape sporting a big bottom concave and boxy rails for unmatched stability, speed and glide potential.
The GO board range accommodates all rider weights and abilities with sizes that range from the longer & faster 12’0” to the more maneuverable 10’2” length size option. The bigger sizes offer the most stability from the wider outline, while the shorter narrower boards are suited for lighter riders offering greater tracking and maneuverability. It’s one of the best stand up paddleboarding experiences you can have on flat water or in light wind & choppy conditions.
WHY WAS THE GO VOTED 10/10 BY SUP BOARDER MAG
ALL ABOUT EASY PADDLING
The GO is all about making it easy for you to get into paddle boarding. You can paddle fast, while feeling comfortable and staying dry, securing your ultimate first time SUP experience.
STABILITY AND SPEED BALANCE
The looks of a classic surf shape with performance and stability DNA from our award-winning race boards.
WIDE TAIL AND NOSE
Provides an entirely smooth and balanced trim for efficient paddling over distance. You can step back for a snap turn or count on the nose area for added stability in chop.
DEEP CENTER CHANNEL
Creates a flatter middle rocker for the most efficient and long-lasting glide. Similar to our award-winning All Star race boards.

Larger sizes are perfect for yoga and fitness.
2-IN-1 SHOULDER CARRY STRAP & PADDLE HOLDER

THE BOXY RAILS
Increase the stability of the board and limits water flowing onto the deck, keeping feet and gear dry, essential in cooler climates.
FLAT STANDING AREA
