We present the Starboard Hyper.
The brand-new HYPER 83 & 88 take your wave riding to a whole new level. With a redesigned outline and optimized stance, you’ll enjoy greater responsiveness and precision. Expect a more aggressive, razor-sharp ride with faster acceleration and higher top speeds.
The HYPER 78, 93, and 103 remain our trusted quad-fin wave boards, delivering the high performance you can always count on.
REVISED FIN & INSERT POSITIONOn the HYPER 83 & 88, all fin boxes are 4 cm set back, all inserts 3 cm toward the rear. At the same time, the new boards are 3.5 cm shorter and 2 cm wider at 30 cm removed from the tail for a more aggressive, precise ride.
SHARPER RAILS
The rails are 45 cm with a significantly sharper shape all the way to the tail. This results in earlier planing, better acceleration, and higher top speed.
PROVEN EXTREME QUAD-FIN PERFORMANCE
The HYPER 78, 93, and 103 continue to deliver radical performance. With these updates, the 83 and 88 reach a new level of precision in wave riding.
