Learning on an inflatable adds safety and fun. And beginners just can’t break the nose no matter how many times you fall over, because it’s inflatable. Starboard’s WHOPPER School Edition even maximizes value for schools by removing the bag and pump from the price. It’s our favourite board to teach windsurfing on and enjoy Stand Up Paddling.
WHOPPER
INFLATABLE WINDSURF SCHOOL EDITION
THE WHOPPER SCHOOL EDITION IN DETAIL
Highly recommended for school and centres. The new shape replaces the previous shape that was based on the AIRPLANE 290. This shape has more glide and is SUP friendly, great for schools when it’s not windy and to enjoy a SUP session.
WOVEN DROPSTITCH TECHNOLOGY
The new woven drop stitch technology is used on the top and the bottom of the board. The process starts with a glue-free PVC lamination. The new weave provides a structure for the polyester yarns – which gives the board its shape. Premium weave has less give than the traditional knitting method. Most knitted fibers have soft and stretchy properties, whereas this new weaving is superior in stiffness, reflex, and rigidity.
WELDED RAIL TECHNOLOGY
Starboard’s Welded Rail Technology uses a new & advanced heat-welding process whereby the top and bottom layers of the board are mechanically bonded. That means zero glue at the top and bottom join along the rails (where leakage often occurs) and these joins are now bonded for life – making our boards the most durable on the market!
REMOVABLE MAST BASE
With the removable mast track base the WHOPPER can transform to a full flat deck board allowing the use of paddling and having maximum fun without any risk of injury.
FINE TUNED ROCKER
Each rocker design is optimised to provide the right combination of lift, glide and manoeuvrability.
REMOVABLE DAGGERBOARD
The WHOPPER School Edition is equipped with the removable Daggerboard for the safest lessons you can imagine on an inflatable board. The upwind windsurf experience will be similar to any composite board and this give the user the best experience without any scary side draggs.
FULL EVA DECK
The board is covered 100% on Eva which makes it super safe, grippy and comfortable. Also with the white and red cercle around the removable mast track base teaching can be even more precise so the instructor can guide the student were to position just by indicating the colours, simple yet very effective.
THE MOST ADVANCED BUILD METHOD
Built with Woven Dropstitch Technology at its core makes the Deluxe Construction a solid winner at a lightweight.
The Galvanized 2000D rails combined with the breakthrough Welded Rail Technology sets the Deluxe Construction inflatable paddleboards further apart from the rest.
