2025 STARBOARD WHOPPER STARLITE 9'0 X 33" - NOV 2024 ARRIVAL

The Whopper is perfect for first-time paddlers getting into the waves and versatile for heavier riders to rip. Reimagined with thinner rails at the nose and tail, it features a Spice-inspired wing tail for responsive turns and a new rocker line for fast down-the-line performance. The nose kick aids in easy recovery when learning to surf.

Inspired by Starboard's much loved "Hero" model, the 9’0” x 33” is a super fun, stable and short SUP surf board that supports heavier riders. This Short and wide model gives you fantastic maneuverability in a broad range of waves.

VOLUME = 161L

Estimated Board Weight of Starlite Construction: 23.3 lbs

Here are some of the key components that make this all-time popular shape even better for 2025:

BEVELLED RAILS

Inspired by the Spice, the soft beveled rails help to roll smoothly into turns despite the width of the board. The bevel also creates a thinner pinched apex that requires less foot pressure to turn.

WING TAIL

Blends comfort and performance. Learners have comfort from the wider outline in front of the wing; while advanced, heavier riders can unlock greater maneuverability behind the wing.

THIN TAIL

The thinner tail requires less foot pressure to turn the board, giving you more control and response to make turns.

NARROWER NOSE OUTLINE

Allows you to paddle faster and straighter, minimizing paddle contact on the nose. Both the narrower and thinner nose rails reduce catching during turns.

5 FIN SETUP

All three sizes features a 5-fin setup, providing the flexibility to customize your riding style with options for both 4+1 and 2+1 fin options.

Except ASAP and Rhino constructions are 2+1 set up.
