Starboard Pocket Rocket 8´5" 2012 - Surf Summary

Starboard Pocket Rocket - 8'5"x30" - Surf

“An all new high performance stable little rocket ship that’s just a whole lot of fun.”

The original Pocket Rocket changed the perception of SUP short-boarding 4 years ago. The all new 012 Pocket Rocket’s outline has the width more forward handling higher speed on bigger waves and at the same time providing excellent stability for its length. The mono concave bottom hull provides instant acceleration and turns which are best described as electric. Four years of short board experience is all packed into a board that excels in clean surf as well as onshore and mushy conditions.

The Pocket Rocket 8'5" is available in two constructions, AST Silver and Wood. For more information see the "construction" tab.
