Sorry if this has already been posted but I didn't see one.
Thought this might be of interest for discussion as haven't seen anything for 2015 starbie.
found on some world tour photos from italy surf expo if I can remember.
What do ya reckon... 2015 prototype? just a custom with starbie stickers?...
notice no sunken deck, familiar front nose shape and underneath....
peace

It's the new model I would say " the race"
Sprint nose, all star ass perfect mix. Or it's a new turtlebay allstar which has the flat deck I could be wrong here though

Looks like it has a fair bit of rocker in the tail, from that first photo

That's the one DJ. I think this will be a popular board for Starby.. It should be a really quick design.

Looks good..

The a Race looks like a good do-it-all flat water/downwinding type board.

Should be good competition for the new 26 and 28" wide Jav's..

A friend told me that Starboard is a brand endorsed by a singer and song-writer called Stevie Wonder. I don't follow celebrity culture so I don't know how significant this is. But I understand he's quite well known in pop music circles. This sounds, on the face of it, like a wonderful breakthrough into popular culture by a SUP brand. But I got a feeling from my friend that I didn't fully understand the significance of his comment. Can you help me?

Cool everyone, was wandering what the board was. Do ya think they will replace the All star or yet add another board to the range.

What did the poster say above: "one quiver... for flat water and ocean..." Hmmmmmmm I wander where we heard that before

The All Star is still in the range, this is a new addition.

The rider is Román Frejo and that board isn't a 2015's prototype.

That board's been around for some time since 2013 and it's quite different from the new "Race" you're talking about.

So sit down and wait for some time to meet the 2015's SUP line...

Cheers

You may be onto something. Stevie may be putting messages out there like Nostradamus.

another Star
Master Blaster (?)

I assume this is the new 2015 All Star. No sunken deck, wide tail.

Connor and Zane have been riding these boards for a couple of years now, but still not in the Starboard range for 2015.

'cause the average joe can't go 26" and feeling confortable without a recessed deck...
