Starboard Inflatable SUP Touring Deluxe DC

FAQ

What is the Starboard Inflatable SUP Touring Deluxe DC particularly well suited for?

The Starboard Touring Deluxe DC is an inflatable SUP board for extended tours on lakes, rivers, and along the coast. The sleek touring hull shape ensures good glide, tracking, and efficiency over long distances.

What does the DC designation mean for this board?

At Starboard, DC stands for Double Chamber – meaning there is a second safety chamber between the deck and the bottom. It makes the board stiffer, safer to handle, and ensures that if the outer shell is damaged, you can still safely paddle back to shore.

What rider weight is the Touring Deluxe DC designed for?

The Touring Deluxe DC is available in several sizes, covering a wide range of rider weights. You can find the exact rider weight specifications for each variant in the size chart in the product description.

How do you inflate the Starboard Touring Deluxe DC?

The board is inflated using a standard SUP pump through the Starboard valve. The recommended operating pressure is 18 PSI – in the double chamber, just a few PSI are sufficient to seat the inner chamber.

Is the Starboard Touring Deluxe DC suitable for beginners?

Yes, the wider and shorter touring variants with more buoyancy and volume are also easy for beginners to ride. For your first tour, we recommend choosing a size appropriate for your body weight.

What accessories are included in the delivery?

The delivery includes the board, the matching fin, a high-quality SUP backpack, and a double-action pump. You can find the exact components for each model in the product description.

How do I properly care for and store the inflatable touring board?

Rinse the board with fresh water after every tour, let it dry completely before packing it away, and store it in a dry, shaded, and frost-free place. This will keep the material, valve, and fins functional for a long time.

What makes Starboard's Welded Rail Technology special?

At Starboard, the rails are welded instead of glued. This increases the durability of the seams, saves adhesive, and ensures a particularly robust and long-lasting connection of the outer shell.
