Starboard Surf 2016 | ANACONDA

Overview:
Starboard’s take on the Tomo revolution and is rapidly becoming the favorite alternative board in the world. It has a clean straighter outline allowing the board to perform in all types of conditions. The Anaconda is designed off the premise that boards don’t need a nose outline and, in fact, if we chop the nose off, the board will perform equally as well as one with a nose. The concept is simple, the board is loose and extremely fun to ride.

Board Specs:
This board has flatter rocker throughout the whole outline. The bottom consists of a deep channel-like double concave combined with slight lift in the tail, allowing the board to release when needed. Ridden a few inches smaller than your traditional short board for a performance feel.

Ideal wave size:
Designed to be ridden in medium to head-high surf for entry level, intermediate and advanced riders.

Tech & Features

THE CORE

Flex Carbon is built from a stringer-less traditional Polyurethane foam (PU) core. Starboard has played around with a variety of different densities of foam depending on the desired weight, flex and compressional stability. By having a traditional PU foam core, we have been able to match the flex components of a traditional build by removing the stringer and perfecting the use of different fiber patterns.

CONSTRUCTION

In order to find the key to achieving a flex pattern that is equal and in some instances better than that seen in a normal PU Board, our development team underwent a rigorous testing process to find the perfect combination of fiber orientations, carbon strengths and outer/inner densities. With the introduction of this unique technology comes the launch of three progressive shapes: Black Magic, Flying V and Anaconda.
