Since the first release in 2015, the Starboard’s Hyper Nut’s stability and maneuverability set a new benchmark in the shortboard SUP surfing.
The unique parabolic rail provides a pivot point on the board so you can easily initiate turns, while the wide and short outline gives a fast, skatey & reactive ride like no other.
The Hyper Nut is an innovative surf SUP that is at its best in smaller mushier conditions, yet handles larger clean waves comfortably, giving you a wide range of use to optimize your water time.
NARROWER ROUNDED NOSE
Limits you catching the nose through turns and is easier to paddle out through white water.
WIDE AND SHORT NOSE OUTLINE
• Increases stability and speed on the wave as you can engage the entire rail length.
• Easier to pivot turn & fit into smaller sections of the waves.
• Extra stability and pop when paddling out over whitewater
THE INVERTED NUT RAILS
Provide insane acceleration and a pivot point for tight turning.
STRAIGHT OUTLINE
EXTENDS THE WATERLINE
• Providing speed that is comparable to a longer board.
• A curved outline has less rail engaged at one time.
DEEPER SWALLOW TAIL
Gives you more bite through the turns.
SLIGHT HIP TAIL
Act as a pivot point to drive through turns.
FLAT ROCKER
Produces speed, helps get into waves easily and adds stability.
THIN RAILS TOWARDS THE TAIL
• Easier to engage the rail on the wave with less foot pressure.
• As the Hyper Nut has such a wide tail it is essential for rail thickness to be responsive in turns.
CHANNEL BOTTOM SHAPE
• Pro rocker down the center of the board for tight pocket turning.
• Creates a flat spot in front of the fins for extra acceleration.
FIN ANGLES
The front fins have more angle helping you to engage earlier and have more grip on the wave, while the rear fins are straighter giving you more drive and speed
FIN SET UP
• 3.7 rear side fins make it much easier to slide the tail for more radical turns with less effort.
• Quad fin set up uses 4 side fins and gives fast acceleration and instant down the line speed as it does not have a drag from a centre fin.
