THE KODE IN DETAIL

The versatile Kodes ensure a confident and smooth ride in choppy conditions. In wave mode, the Kode encourages you into more radical turns than ever before – and get away with it in style. When the waves are flat, keep the action happening with the included freeride fin to maximize speed and drive. And fun. We designed the Kodes to offer you the best onshore wave performance and excel in freeride, freewave and Bump & Jump. Time to play.

85, 95 & 105: ROUNDED TAILS AND NOSES

The curved tail outline enhances radical turns and smooth wave riding. Going upwind, downwind, reaching or riding waves, the consistent drive keeps you moving in tricky conditions. A sleek, rounded nose maintains a smooth ride in any conditions.

LOTS OF VOLUME - COMPACT SHAPE

Our larger volume Kode boards have loads of volume packed into a compact outline. The thin rails help these larger boards ride waves easily. With short nose and tail lengths, the bigger Kodes feel like a much smaller board under your feet, responding much more directly in manoeuvres.

SPEED, GRIP & CONTROL

The bottom shape blends a fast rocker along the centreline for maximum speed with more curved rockers on the sides. As you engage the rail, that added curvature on the sides of the Kode bites and you feel the board lock in to a smooth carving arc.

SINGLE FIN: FAST & FUN

Set up your Kode with the optional Drake FreeWave single fin and take it out in any conditions. With this set up the Kode doesn’t need waves to unleash its full potential. The classic single fin configuration provides plenty of speed, early planing and a very directional drive, much like a freeride board.

*Drake FreeWave single fin is not included

MORE WAVE PERFORMANCE

To get even more wave performance out of your Kode, simply load up the thruster fin set also supplied with the board. You’ll quickly sense how the shorter center fin and side fins add a new dimension of manoeuvrability, grip and stability to your Kode.

FINBOXES

Featuring two lightweight Starboxes and one US box (Powerbox on 125 & 135) the versatility doesn’t take a toll on the overall board weight. The Starbox system allows you to fit Slot Box fins, quickly locating your last setting to get you on the water faster. Starbox is also compatible with US box fins.

A LOCKED AND COMFORTABLE STANCE

Premium Drake footstraps are made from Yulex eco-foam with the smoothest fabric for a comfortable feel. Under your feet the 10mm thick footpads with a diamond grooving pattern provide positive grip and comfort over extended sessions while being resistant to wear-and-tear.

SMART COLOR SET-UP

WOOD SANDWICH

WOOD SANDWICH

THE FLAGSHIP CONSTRUCTION

Developed by Jean Louis Colmas in 1984, Wood Technology became Starboard’s trademark construction in 1995. Wood Technology remains a favourite for riders preferring more comfort, more control and the unique crisp feel of an original Starboard. It’s time to bring back this technology while reducing our CO2 footprint. Full wood sandwich lamination of 0.6mm Australian Pinewood over modern, recyclable 3mm PET core foam ensures durability and comfort in a good strength to weight ratio. Today’s wood is less visible in modern graphics; UV protected by fresh blue paint and stickers that compliment the natural grain with a really nice effect. A classy re-edition of a classic Starboard Original.

DREAM TEAM RIDER

“The Kodes are great Cross-Over boards for choppy conditions and on-the-edge wave conditions. They plane early and provide a lot of top-end speed while going smoothly over the chop and waves. Perfect to get into wave sailing.”

“The Kodes are great boards for those dodgy onshore days, because they help you to get planing in light wind and cross through white water. Especially for me as as heavy rider the extra volume helps a lot to accelerate to top speed quickly.”

“I was amazed by the 2023 Kode’s planing performance in choppy conditions. If I had to choose between a freeride or speed-oriented board and the Kode to go for a blasting session in windy, choppy conditions, I would go for the Kode any day. It feels super light, comfortable and agile under the feed, and super easy to dig the rails in during carving turns. While I love these characteristics just for blasting around, they are in fact, also what makes this board great for wave-sailing and jumping! With the Kode, I feel comfortable, fast and in control, no matter how messy the sea state.”

10 X Climate Positive

For every board sold, Starboard plants 3 mangrove trees with Worldview International Foundation. Each Mighty Mangrove sinks down 673kg of VCS certified CO2 during its first 25 years.

Together, our 3 mangroves offset the boards Carbon Emissions 10 X over and fund local livelihoods projects in Myanmar.

The Ultra has an average carbon footprint of 78 kg per board.
