At 12'6 long and 30\" wide, with 355 litres of volume and a board weight of around 9.9kg, it's easier to carry, store and turn, while still holding a straight line and carrying kit on the nose. Starboard rates it for riders from 55kg up to 110kg. Starboard's touring boards are among the most highly rated by magazine testers and are a customer favourite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStraight outline with a narrower midsection\u003c\/strong\u003e: your paddle can enter the water closer to the board, so each stroke drives you forward rather than turning you.

You get the touring shape, the roll-up bag and the Deluxe build, with a board that's quicker to turn and lighter to handle. If you mainly paddle for distance and have the space, the 14'0 sizes will glide further.
