STB WINDSURFING 10'0"X34" WHOPPER ASAP

The STB WINDSURFING 10'0"X34" WHOPPER ASAP is a rigid SUP board by Starboard. Rigid boards have clear advantages over inflatables: superior stiffness (more speed, better tracking), better feel in waves or technical conditions, proven durability. The trade-off: they require storage and transport space.

When to choose rigid vs inflatable:

• Rigid: you live in a house with garage/garden, drive with a roof rack, prioritize performance.
• Inflatable: you live in an apartment, travel by plane, need portability.

Typical constructions:

• EPS + glass (entry-level): light and affordable.
• Sandwich with wood (mid-range): stiffer, better value for money.
• Carbon Sandwich (premium): stiffest and lightest, race and advanced.

How we recommend it at El Niño Mallorca. If you have a garage and transport with a roof rack, a rigid board is always superior. For wave riding or racing, there's no comparison. If your logistics are tricky, a Deluxe inflatable might be a better compromise. If you're unsure about size based on your weight, level and main use, write to us.
