Starboard Touring ZEN SC – One of the World's Best-Selling Touring SUP Boards

Starboard Touring ZEN SC 12'6" × 30" has been developed for paddlers looking for speed, efficiency and exceptional glide during long-distance adventures. Its streamlined touring outline allows the board to move effortlessly through the water while maintaining excellent stability and control, making it suitable for both recreational touring and fitness paddling.

At 381 cm (12'6") long and 76.2 cm (30") wide, this board offers the perfect balance between speed, stability and manoeuvrability. The elongated shape improves straight-line tracking, allowing each paddle stroke to move the board further while reducing fatigue during longer sessions.

Advanced ZEN SC Construction

The ZEN SC (Single Chamber) construction has been engineered to provide maximum performance with minimal weight. Starboard's exclusive Linear Knitted Dropstitch technology reduces material stretch, resulting in a noticeably stiffer board that delivers more efficient power transfer and smoother glide.

The Heat Welded Rails technology thermally bonds the rails instead of using glue. This creates stronger, lighter and longer-lasting seams while improving overall durability and resistance to temperature changes.

Additional Galvanized 2000D Rail reinforcements further increase rigidity and impact resistance, giving the board a remarkably solid feel on the water.

Designed for Touring Adventures

The Touring ZEN SC is built for paddlers who enjoy covering longer distances. The streamlined nose reduces water resistance while maintaining stability, making every paddle stroke more efficient.

A large front cargo bungee system allows you to carry dry bags, camping equipment, safety gear or personal belongings securely during day trips or longer expeditions.

Comfort and Control

The soft EVA deck pad provides excellent grip and comfort throughout long paddling sessions. The lightweight construction makes carrying and transporting the board effortless, while the central carrying handle ensures convenient handling on land.

The single Zen Fin improves tracking and directional stability, allowing the board to maintain a straight course with minimal correction strokes.
