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.

Key Features:

1. Straighter Outline for increased planning and lift through flat sections
2. Flatter Rocker throughout the whole outline for increased speed
3. Swallow Tail for extra release and drive off the tail
4. Deep channel like double concave combined withslight lift in the tail
5. Flex Carbon construction using premium biaxial carbon fibers
6. From as light as 2.75kgs

Fins:

• Features a Quad-fin set-up
• FCS II fin boxes with conversion kit
• Comes without fins

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.

Starboard Surf 2016

La nuova linea di surf per il 2016 vede una nuova costruzione incrementare il parco tavole da offrire al pubblico. Il team di ricerca e sviluppo è formato da riders esigenti e sempre pronti a inserire nuove idee e nuove tecnologie.

Starboard Surf 2016 Collection: 
Ogni anno ci spingiamo ai confini delle costruzioni, progettiamo proto da surf da testare per una implacabile ricerca delle tecnologie più innovative.

Innovazione:
Cinque anni fa abbiamo introdotto la prima tavola da surf full carbon in ACTIVE CARBON. Con l'introduzione di questa costruzione folle, abbiamo sviluppato progetti pionieristici reattivi, ridicolmente leggero e estremamente resistenti. Una gamma che si rivolge  a qualsiasitipo di rider di qualsiasi posto nel mondo.

Qualità:
Con 20 anni di esperienza nella progettazione e sviluppo di bordo, Starboard stabilisce lo standard qualitativo e di precisione molto elevato. Il nostro team di R&S è sempre al lavoro tra shaperia e test di tavole. Siamo in grado di controllare il processo di R&S e di follow-up della produzione giornalmente.

La Nostra Missione:
Portare innovazione in tutto il mondo.

ACTIVE CARBON
Il sistema ACTIVE dispone di una laminazione in carbonio chiamata STARFLEX Corecell stringer, inserita nel il centro della tavola, tra due strati di high memory polypropylene layers. Questo sistema agisce come una molla dinamica consentendo al laminato di flettersi liberamente, evitando nel contempo la iper-flessione sotto carico.

Gli strati di carbonio biassiali e unidirezionali ultra leggeri con angoli ottimizzati avvolgono l'intera tavola, aumentando sia il flex sia il reflex. Queste caratteriste ottimizzate al massimo per garantire la massima risposta in surfata, aumentando leggerezza, manovrabilità e velicità.

FLEX CARBON
Il sistema Flex è una combinazione rivoluzionaria tra le tecniche di costruzione moderne e quelle tradizionali.
La costruzione Flex Carbon combina un stringer-less polyurethane foam core laminato a mano utilizzando fogli in carbonio con fibre biassiali e unidirezionali, fibra di vetro e la migliore resina epossidica in commercio.

Siamo incessantemente alla ricerca di nuove tecnologie per le tavole da surf, solo per offrire un prodotto unico sul mercato, con caratteristiche sempre più performanti. Con l'inserimento di questa nuova laminazione viena lanciata una nuova linea di surf che amplierà la nuova gamma. Un ulteriore rinforzo su tutto il bordo della tavola è stato inserito per una resistenza quasi eterna.
