Maximum Stability. Uncompromised Racing Pedigree.
The 2026 Starboard All Star Airline 14’0″ x 28″ is the ultimate high-performance inflatable for riders who refuse to choose between stability and speed. While the 26″ model targets elite narrow-entry racers, the 28″ width is engineered for the “Real World”—providing a rock-solid platform for heavier paddlers, choppy open-ocean conditions, and long-distance endurance racing.
Equipped with the 2026 Quick Tension System, this board transforms from a portable bag into a rigid, high-tension racing machine in minutes.
New for 2026: Key Feature Upgrades
The 2026 model introduces several critical engineering refinements to make the board stiffer, faster, and easier to set up:
- Optimized Stability Profile: The 2026 28″ model features a refined rail shape that maximizes the standing area, giving you more “forgiveness” when the water gets messy or during aggressive buoy turns.
- Quick Tension System (Tool-Less): No more fumbling with adjustments. The new 2026 tensioner allows you to dial in the aramid cable by hand, ensuring the hull stays deflection-free under heavy loads.
- Hydrodynamic Nose Cone: A reshaped nose fairing slices through chop more efficiently, preventing the “bumping” sensation common in wide-nosed inflatables.
- Enhanced Recycled Materials: Features the latest Re-Cover bag design and eco-friendly woven dropstitch, reducing the board’s carbon footprint without sacrificing 1 PSI of stiffness.
Why the 28″ Width is the Smart Choice
While narrow boards are fast on paper, stability equals speed for most paddlers. The 14’0″ x 28″ platform allows you to:
-
Maintain High Cadence: Spend less energy balancing and more energy on your power stroke.
-
Handle Cross-Chop: The extra 2 inches of beam provide a massive boost in lateral stability for coastal touring and ocean races.
-
Support More Weight: Ideal for riders up to 120 kg or those carrying gear for ultra-marathon SUP events.
Advanced Technology & Construction
Patented Airline Technology
A free-flowing aramid cable runs from the nose to the fin box. When the board is inflated, the cable tightens, significantly reducing hull deflection. Testing shows up to 1.8 cm less deflection, providing a “reflex” sensation similar to a carbon fiber board.
Deluxe Construction (Woven & Welded)
-
Woven Dropstitch: The core is made of high-density woven fibers, making the board lighter and stiffer than traditional knitted dropstitch.
-
Welded Rail Technology: Unlike glued seams that weaken over time, Starboard’s heat-welded seams create a mechanical bond that is airtight and permanent.
-
Carbon Hull Stringer: A center carbon stringer covers the aramid cable, protecting it while adding a layer of longitudinal stiffness and a smooth finish to the hull.
Tiki Double Action Pump
AST, EASY, AND COMFORTABLE
The Tiki Pump is an easy-to-use, comfortable, and efficient pump that is perfect for inflating. The fixed hose and manometer position make it easy to use, while the 10% more efficient piston and outside tube make it perfect for those who want to save time. The wider removable foot base makes it more stable when pumping, while the upcycled fishing nets make it more eco-friendly.
Re-Cover Airline Board Bag
The carry bag is the perfect sidekick for the Starboard Airline. Made from 30 recycled plastic bottles and EVA side walls, this bag is not only eco-friendly but also durable and easy to pack. The shorter, wider design makes it easy to carry and store.
Performance Features
-
Patented Airline Cable: The aramid cable prevents the board from “banana-ing” in the middle, creating a 1:1 feel with a composite race board.
-
EVA Side Trays: Provides a tactile “dugout” feel, helping you find your center without looking down.
-
FCS & Accessory Mounts: Ready for your GPS, GoPro, or phone for tracking your 2026 PRs.
-
Race-Ready Fin: Includes the 23″ Net Positive fin for straight-line tracking and minimal drag.
