Description

The Starboard iGO Wing Ready Deluxe Lite 11’2″ × 31+″ is a high-end inflatable SUP (stand-up paddle) that also transforms into a wing board. It is part of Starboard’s premium “Deluxe Lite” line, offering lighter weight and advanced construction while maintaining durability. This version is sized for riders who want a fast all-around board with stable tracking, decent speed, and multi‐use versatility (SUP mode, winging, etc.).

Construction & Materials

• Deluxe Lite build: This is Starboard’s lightweight inflatable construction. It uses woven dropstitch material to make the board lighter and stiffer than more basic inflatables.

• Welded Rail Technology: Instead of glued rails, this construction uses welded rails (heat or mechanical bonding) to ensure seams are airtight, durable, and less prone to failure over time.

• Roll / Pack Size Efficiency: Because of the Deluxe Lite materials, this board packs down smaller (Roll bag size ~33% smaller than regular boards) for easier transport and storage.

Design & Shape

• Straight outline, narrow midsection: The centre of the board is slightly narrowed, which helps with glide and tracking. It lets the paddle stay closer to the board, reducing user fatigue and increasing efficiency.

• Wide tail with square shape (“31+” designation): The “+” means a square tail, offering more rear stability and easier turns. The wide tail also allows stepping back for maneuvers (for winging or turning).

• Removable centre fin box: Allows the board to switch between pure SUP mode and wing mode, with the fin box base flush when not in use so there is minimal drag.

Features & Accessories

• Included gear: This board comes with a lightweight leash (~70g), a Tiki pump (dual/nozzle, capable of high pressure), and a travel‐friendly backpack/board bag.

• Soft carry handles: EVA/neoprene soft handles at centre and tail for easier carrying.

• Bungee tie–down system: For securing gear on the nose (and sometimes centre), including adjustable bungee with metal clips.

• D‐rings for shoulder strap / kayak seat: Additional D‐rings allow mounting a kayak seat or using a shoulder carry strap. Note: the strap may be sold separately for Deluxe Lite in some markets.

Who Is This Board Best Suited For?

• Intermediate paddlers who want one board to do everything: cruising, light touring, and getting into wing sports.

• Light to medium weight riders (≈ 45-100 kg) who value portability but don’t want to sacrifice too much performance.

• Travelers or people with limited storage space, who want an inflatable board with high-end features.

• Beach users, mixed conditions: lakes, bays, coastal flat water. Also for those who want the option to experiment with wing surfing without committing to a dedicated board.

Summary

The Starboard iGO Wing Ready Deluxe Lite 11’2″ × 31+″ is a well-designed hybrid inflatable SUP/wing board that offers a strong balance of portability, performance, and versatility. Its lightweight yet stiff construction, efficient shape, and thoughtful features make it a compelling choice for riders who want to cover more ground (or water) with one board. If you’re in its weight/size sweet spot, it should serve you well across multiple water sports.
