New Starboard Katana & Tsurugi – Register your interest

1 Nov 2026 News

Most race boards reward power. The Katana and Tsurugi reward rhythm.

Designed by Takuji Araki with his son, multiple ISA and ICF World Champion Shuri Araki, these race boards are built for a short, fast stroke. Instead of pulling long and hard, you take more strokes per minute, and the board turns each one into forward speed.

A slicing nose cuts clean through chop. A narrow box tail with sharp 90-degree edges bites the water on every stroke, then releases for less drag.

Built for a short, high-cadence stroke, they track straight, stay stable and keep the nose high upwind, downwind and in side wind.
