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.
