At \u003cstrong\u003e14'0″ long, 30″ wide and 298 L\u003c\/strong\u003e, it provides a relatively narrow touring profile while maintaining a stable platform for longer sessions and carrying equipment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board's \u003cstrong\u003elow nose rocker and straight middle rocker\u003c\/strong\u003e extend the waterline and help maintain efficient glide. The \u003cstrong\u003ethin, squared nose\u003c\/strong\u003e is derived from Starboard's race-board designs, with a narrower entry intended to reduce splash and improve efficiency. Flat side planes and boxy rails contribute to stability, while the deep center channel and swept-back fin improve straight-line tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA recessed standing area lowers the paddler's center of gravity, while the \u003cstrong\u003erecessed drainage channel\u003c\/strong\u003e directs water toward the tail. The board also has dedicated storage in front of the standing area, keeping carried gear accessible while positioning its weight low on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLite Tech Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLite Tech construction\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed to balance weight, stiffness and durability. Unidirectional stringer bands add longitudinal rigidity, while reinforced rails and nose provide additional structural protection. \u003cstrong\u003eAustralian pine is used beneath the standing area\u003c\/strong\u003e to increase rigidity and impact resistance in a high-load section of the board. The inserts are reinforced with high-density foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Touring also features \u003cstrong\u003efront and rear bungee tie-downs\u003c\/strong\u003e for securing dry bags and other equipment, although the Lite Tech version differs from Starlite in its bungee configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the 14'0″ x 30″ Lite Tech is the larger, longer-distance Touring configuration, combining a \u003cstrong\u003e298 L platform, 30″ width, long waterline and relatively lightweight construction\u003c\/strong\u003e for efficient paddling with enough stability and storage capacity for touring and longer-distance use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"so-tab-2\" type=\"radio\" name=\"tabs\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"so-tab-2\"\u003eINCLUDED\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"so-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarboard Touring 14' x 30\" Lite tech\u003cbr\u003eTouring Fin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"so-tab\"\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"so-tab-3\" type=\"radio\" name=\"tabs\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"so-tab-3\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"so-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLENGTH\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e : 14'\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWIDTH\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e : 30\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHICKNESS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e : 7.4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eVOLUME\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e : 298 L\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e : 32.8 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRIDER WEIGHT : \u003c\/strong\u003eUp to 242\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003elbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"so-tab\"\u003e\n\u003cinput id=\"so-tab-4\" type=\"radio\" name=\"tabs\"\u003e \u003clabel for=\"so-tab-4\"\u003eMEDIA\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"so-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CYDh-kZSJjo?si=GMMDu40nktqcLjxU\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"STARBOARD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358045335831,"sku":"","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0038\/9267\/4629\/files\/Starboard-SUP-2025-2D-Touring-Lite-Tech.webp?v=1786819823","url":"https:\/\/supcalifornia.com\/products\/starboard-touring-lite-tech14x30","provider":"SUP California","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
