The Airline Construction is Starboard’s patented technology developed for World Championship-winning inflatable race paddleboards. It features a free-flowing aramid cable that locks the board in shape when inflated, creating a solid, trustworthy hull sensation.
So how does their Airline Technology work?
The patented Airline Technology utilises a pre-set free-floating cable. It is then attached to the nose, goes under the bottom and ends at the fin box. The preset cable is slightly shorter than the board, so when the board inflates, the cable comes under tension and stiffens the board significantly. They measured 1.8 cm less hull deflection in testing and 2022 ICF SUP World Champion Michael Booth swears by it.
