STARBOARD 2023 Hypernut - Starlite

Proven innovative shapes with inverted rails

The Hyper Nut Surf model offers stability from a larger board and the performance of a smaller board.

This surf paddle board is a newfound love in every SUP surfer’s quiver, it offers excitement to the most mediocre conditions. The short outline, thin rail and tail shape transform the performance.

PATENTED SHAPE TECHNOLOGY

The all-new Hyper Nut design is the 3rd evolution of this favorite compact shape that is proven to offer a skatey and reactive ride like no other.

The deeper tail shape combined with new fin angles give you more grip and bite through turns, while the narrower rounded nose is less likely to catch through turns.

NARROWER ROUNDED NOSE

Limits you catching the nose through turns and is easier to paddle out through white water.

WIDE AND SHORT NOSE OUTLINE

• Increases stability and speed on the wave as you can engage the entire rail length.
• Easier to pivot turn & fit into smaller sections of the waves.
• Extra stability and pop when paddling out over whitewater.

THE INVERTED NUT RAILS

Provide insane acceleration and a pivot point for tight turning.

STRAIGHT OUTLINE - EXTENDS THE WATERLINE

• Providing speed that is comparable to a longer board.
• A curved outline has less rail engaged at one time.

DEEPER SWALLOW TAIL

Gives you more bite through the turns.

SLIGHT HIP TAIL

Act as a pivot point to drive through turns.

THIN RAILS TOWARDS THE TAIL

• Easier to engage the rail on the wave with less foot pressure.
• As the Hyper Nut has such a wide tail it is essential for rail thickness to be responsive in turns.

FLAT STANDING AREA

Adds stability and makes for easy rail-to-rail transitions.

FLAT ROCKER

Produces speed, helps get into waves easily and adds stability.

CHANNEL BOTTOM SHAPE

• Pro rocker down the center of the board for tight pocket turning.
• Creates a flat spot in front of the fins for extra acceleration.

FIN ANGLES

The front fins have more angle helping you to engage earlier and have more grip on the wave, while the rear fins are straighter giving you more drive and speed

FIN SET UP

• 3.7 rear side fins make it much easier to slide the tail for more radical turns with less effort.
• Quad fin set up uses 4 side fins and gives fast acceleration and instant down the line speed as it does not have a drag from a centre fin.

STARLITE CONSTRUCTION - THE STRONGEST RAIL EVER TESTED

• Ultra-durable, scratch and impact resistant woven 200g twill azure rail protection.
• The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom to protect against total breakage. The T-stringers are positioned close to the rail working like an i-beam to endure heavy drops and strong wipeouts.
• Starlite now features a full deck of 0.6mm Australian pine wood which is sandwiched between 2 glass outer skins, increasing the overall total breakage strength and reducing the weight due to lower resin absorption.

SIZES // PRICED FROM:

• 7'4 x 30'' 116L // $2,899

The 7’4” is ideal if you weigh up to 95kg and are looking for a little more stability than the 7’2” but shorter length than the 8’0”. The 7’4” was a favorite in the testing.

• 8'0 x 31.5'' 135L // $2,899

Although the longest, the 8’0” is very responsive, fast down the line and easy to rotate through turns. The narrower nose draws a smooth line through turns, while the deeper swallow tail responds with less pressure to initiate turns.

Note: Includes fins.
