Description
Description
The Starboard Whopper 2027 is the SUP surfboard that makes wave riding fun from day one. As a completely redesigned wide-ride board, it combines enormous stability with surprising maneuverability – thanks to slimmer rails, a Spice-inspired wing tail and a refined rocker line, you catch waves earlier and surf longer down the line. The increased nose kick helps you with wave selection and recovery, so you paddle less and surf more. Whether you are paddling into a wave on a SUP for the first time or as a heavier rider you are finally looking for a board that carries you while still performing – the Whopper is built exactly for that.
Why this product is right for you
- Enormous stability through widths of 33 to 36 inches – ideal for beginners and heavier riders
- Spice-inspired wing tail: comfort in front of the wing for learners, real maneuverability behind it for advanced riders
- Slimmer, bevelled rails let the board roll smoothly into turns despite its width
- Thin tail and narrower nose outline for less foot pressure when turning and faster, straighter paddling
- Increased nose kick: easier recovery and less nose-diving when coming off the wave
- 5-fin setup with 4+1 and 2+1 options – you tune the board to your style
- High-quality construction: Xtec Carbon D2 for lightness and responsiveness, SoHi with EVA rail for maximum impact resistance
- Board sock included – protects your board during transport and storage
Who it is suitable for
- Beginners who are learning SUP surfing and need a maximally stable board
- Advanced SUP surfers looking for a maneuverable all-round wave board for small to medium waves
- Heavier riders up to approx. 140 kg who need a board with sufficient volume and buoyancy
- Paddlers who are out on both knee-high and double-head-high waves
- Water sports enthusiasts looking for a SUP for mixed conditions on the North and Baltic Seas or on vacation
- Riders who value high-quality workmanship and carbon construction

FAQ
Who is the Starboard Whopper 2027 suitable for?

What constructions are available and what is the difference?
The Whopper 2027 comes in Xtec Carbon D2 (light, responsive, easier to turn) and SoHi – Soft Outside, Hard Inside (high-density EVA on the rail, highly impact-resistant and robust for beginners and rental use).
How is the fin setup configured?

Is the board also suitable for heavier riders?
Yes, the larger sizes accommodate riders weighing up to and over 140 kg. Thanks to the high volume and wide outline, the Whopper offers sufficient buoyancy and stability even at higher weights.
