Starboard TWIN FIN 2026
Description
Description
The Starboard Twin Fin 2026 is a surf SUP that combines the speed and looseness of a twin-fin setup with the glide and nose-riding ability of a longboard. Designed for advanced riders seeking more speed, freer turns, and less drag in small to medium waves. The twin-fin configuration reduces drag and provides high top speed and controlled tail release, while the central channel bottom generates lift and natural tracking. With its pronounced hip and moon tail, the board pivots quickly and can be moved responsively from rail to rail – ideal for anyone who loves relaxed lines, fast turns, and tail-slide maneuvers.
Why this product is right for you
- Twin-fin setup with two large side fins for high speed and controlled tail release
- Longboard glide, stable trimming, and nose riding even in softer waves
- Central channel bottom generates lift and speed with natural tracking
- Pronounced hip and moon tail for quick pivots and tight turns
- Optional center nubster for more grip and stability in larger waves
- Suitable for small to overhead waves, from mushy to powerful
- Carbon construction for low weight and high responsiveness
Who it is suitable for
- Advanced surfers looking for a loose, fast board for small to medium waves

- Wave riders who value nose riding and glide without sacrificing maneuverability
- Ambitious improvers who want to improve their wave riding with a performance surf SUP

FAQ
FAQ
FAQ
What wave conditions is the Starboard Twin Fin 2026 suitable for?
The Twin Fin is ideal for smaller, weaker waves, but also works well in overhead conditions, where it pumps off the bottom and handles sections quickly.
What skill level is the board designed for?
It is aimed at advanced surfers who want to surf more radically with less technique. It stays alive throughout the entire wave and allows for quick recoveries.
What fin setup does the Twin Fin 2026 have?
The board comes with a twin fin setup, consisting of two large side fins. Optionally, a center nubster fin can be added for more grip and stability.
How does the Twin Fin differ from other Starboard models like the Spice or Pro?
Compared to the Spice and Pro, the Twin is looser and generates speed faster. The Pro remains the high-performance choice for larger, critical conditions, while the Spice offers versatility with quad or thruster setups.
What material is the board made of?
The Starboard Twin Fin 2026 is available in a carbon construction, which ensures low weight and high responsiveness.
What sizes are available?
Available in sizes 8'3" x 30" (125 L), 8'0" x 29" (112 L), and 6'9" x 24" (70 L). Other sizes are possible.
What is the channel bottom in the tail?
The central channel bottom creates lift and additional speed and expands the optimal range for surfers who surf with the front or back foot, making recovery and maneuvering easier.
Is the board also suitable for lighter or heavier riders?
Yes, the different sizes are tailored to different rider weights. The 6'9" with 70 L is suitable for lighter or advanced riders, while the 8'3" with 125 L is designed for up to 110 kg.
