Starboard All Star 14'0 Race Paddleboard

The Starboard All Star 14'0 is a composite race paddle board and Starboard's most successful race shape. Starboard calls it the world's most winning board in all conditions: paddlers on the All Star took 14 gold titles across the 2023, 2024 and 2025 ICF World Championships, in sprint, technical and long distance races. It's designed to do everything well, from flat-water sprints and technical beach races to open-water and downwind, and it's raced by everyone from newer racers to world champions. SUPconnect magazine named it Best Race SUP in its 2026 Gear of the Year awards. For 2027 the shape has been updated, and it comes in five widths from 20.5" to 26" and four constructions, including the new, lighter D2 builds.

Features and benefits

• Hybrid dugout deck (new): the standing area is dug out to drop your centre of gravity for extra stability, while the deck at the tail is flat, giving you more control when you step back to surf, turn or ride downwind.
• Thinner profile (new): less volume means less weight, and a lower side for the wind to push on when chop and crosswinds come from the side.
• Flat open tail (new): makes a wider, more stable platform for buoy turns, downwinding and surfing, and lets water drain off faster so the board stays light and responsive.
• Rounder rails in the nose: make the board more forgiving and easier to handle in side chop and windy conditions.
• Scupper centre drainage: built-in scuppers with a much larger opening clear water from the deck faster.
• Vee bottom: Starboard has found the vee to be its fastest and most efficient shape, with good control on flat water and in surf. The vee in the tail also helps the board release cleanly, so it accelerates more smoothly.
• Multiple handle positions: the All Star is Starboard's technical and beach race specialist, and the screw-in modular handles let you set the carry position exactly where you want it.
• 10" fin box: slide the fin forward for quicker turning, or back for more stability and tracking. You can also move it to suit how you like to surf downwind.
• EVA race deflector: built for bigger ocean chop, it turns away water that would otherwise run into the standing area.
• Board sock: a stretchy polyester sock with a drawstring that protects the board from dust, scratches and UV, and saves on packaging waste.

Construction and technology

The All Star comes in four constructions. All are 14'0 long and 11" thick, and all use a single Flash fin.

• Carbon Reflex Sandwich D2 (CRS D2): Starboard's lightest full-carbon race construction so far, and its premium race build. Ultra-light 100g biaxial carbon gives a very high strength-to-weight ratio, extra carbon on the rails and bottom tunes the flex so the board springs forward with each stroke, and a UD 80 carbon rail band adds stiffness so more of your power reaches the water. The nose and tail are reinforced against knocks when drafting and racing, sharp edges get lightweight carbon protection, and a full PVC standing area resists heel dents. D2 is a new dual-density core that reorganises the inside of the board to save weight while keeping a strong, impact-resistant outer shell, with extra strength placed where race loads are highest.
• Carbon Reflex Sandwich (CRS): the standard CRS build, refined over years of testing and race podiums. Premium 100g biaxial carbon wraps the whole deck, rails and bottom for stiffness and strength at low weight, ultra-light UD carbon over the rails adds torsional stiffness under race loads, and a full PVC bottom and standing area adds durability. Weights: 11.06kg (20.5"), 11.75kg (21.5"), 12.15kg (23") and 12.75kg (24.5").
• XTEC Carbon D2: new for 2027, combining Starboard's XTEC Carbon build with the lighter D2 core. It's priced between Wood Carbon and CRS, and comes in the 24.5" and 26" widths. Starboard hasn't yet published the full XTEC Carbon D2 lay-up or weights for the All Star.
• Wood Carbon: premium 150g biaxial carbon wraps the full deck and overlaps to form a flat stringer that adds stiffness and breaking strength. Extra fibreglass and 0.6mm Australian pine in the standing area add impact resistance where your feet go, reinforcing strips protect the sharp edges and high-wear zones, and a UD carbon stringer on the bottom adds more stiffness. Weights: 14.01kg (24.5") and 14.21kg (26").
• Warranty: Starboard hard boards carry a 1-year warranty for the original buyer, with proof of purchase from an authorised dealer.

Weights are Starboard's figures (+/- 5%). Starboard hasn't yet published weights for the D2 builds; it says the D2 core brings a significant weight saving.

Which size?

Narrower boards are faster but need more balance. If you're between sizes, or you race mostly in open water and chop, go for the wider one.

Our take

If you race in all sorts of conditions and want one board for sprints, technical races and open water, the All Star is the obvious place to start. Pick the width for your weight and the water you paddle most, then the construction for your budget: CRS D2 is the lightest and most responsive, while Wood Carbon gives you the same shape for less.
