Starboard Kode – Wood Sandwich - Playful Wave Riding – Endless Drive
mode, the Kode encourages you to achieve more radical turns than ever before – and get away with it in style. When the waves are flat, keep the action happening with the included freeride fin to maximize speed and drive. And fun. Starboard designed the Kodes to offer you the best onshore wave performance and excel in freeride, freewave and Bump & Jump. Time to play.
The 115, 125, 135 sizes offer you to wave ride even if the wind is light and the currents are strong. These sizes offer you confident board that is easy to balance through the shore breaks. Their feature larger center line volumes with thin, responsive rails, which allow you to enjoy tricky conditions. Ride more waves with ease. Or switch out the wave riding thrusters for the single fin and enjoy a high speed freeride blast. This size range includes 4 fins. Thruster with center fin for wave use and a single larger Freeride/Wave fin for bump-n-jump and freeriding excitement.
The 85, 95, 105 sizes accelerate quick with enough area behind the fin. This lift is balanced with more nose area, creating a super smooth ride in choppy waters. Maneuverability is enhanced by the added curve around the front footstraps. The new Kode hip outline makes bottom turns and jibes notably more engaging and flowing. Starboard wants to make wave riding accessible to everyone in any conditions. They provide the Kode to even cover wave riding even if the wind is light and the currents are strong and a board that is easy to balance through the shore-break.
Overall: The larger volume Kode boards have loads of volume packed into a compact outline. The thin rails help these larger boards ride waves easily. With short nose and tail lengths, the bigger Kodes feel like a much smaller board under your feet, responding much more directly in maneuvers. The bottom shape blends a fast rocker along the center line for maximum speed with more curved rockers on the sides. As you engage the rail, that added curvature on the sides of the Kode bites and you feel the board engaging into its carving arc.

Construction:
WOOD SANDWICH = THE FLAGSHIP CONSTRUCTION. Developed by Jean Louis Colmas in 1984, Wood Technology became Starboard’s trademark construction in 1995. Wood Technology remains a favorite for riders preferring more comfort, more control and the unique crisp feel of an original Starboard. It’s time to bring back this technology while reducing our CO2 footprint. Full wood sandwich lamination of 0.6mm Australian Pinewood over modern, recyclable 3mm PET core foam ensures durability and comfort in a good strength to weight ratio. Today’s wood is less visible in modern graphics; UV protected by fresh blue paint and stickers that compliment the natural grain with a really nice effect. A classy re-edition of a classic Starboard Original.
