FIN SET-UP
Five fin boxes: set up as quad, thruster, twin or single fin according to conditions of the day and riding style. All models are supplied with new Stone signature Black G-10 thruster fins by Drake.
SWALLOW TAIL SHAPE
Swallow tail on all sizes shortens the board and adds more grip
ROCKERLINE
UltraKodes feature fast rockerlines in the planing surface area for speed and early-planing, combined with concaved bottom shapes to create grip and precise rail to rail transitions.
BOTTOM SHAPES
All UltraKodes, from the 78 to the 100: double concave throughout the bo
STARBOX
The UltraKodes comes with four lightweight Starboxes and one US box. The Starbox system allows you to fit Slot Box fins in five seconds each while remembering your last setting to get you on the water faster. It is also compatible with US box fins.
STARBOX = SLOT AND US BOX
The StarBox fits notched Slot Box fins for fast fit-‘n-go system. It also fits US box fins for the classic system that pivots to reduce fin damage if you hit the reef. Lightweight (13 grams) plugs seal unused boxes to reduce drag. Insert and secure them like you would with a Slot Box fin. To remove the plugs, loosen the side screw and push down gently on the front of the plug.
YULEX FOOTSTRAPS AND THICK PADS
The Drake footstraps are made with FSC-certified, sustainably sourced and plant-based Yulex foam. With 85% natural rubber content, CO² emitted during the manufacturing process is reduced by 80%. The remaining 15% of synthetic neoprene is kept to improve UV resistance. Carefully sourced with the smoothest fabric for a comfortable feel. The UltraKodes feature 10mm thick footpads with a diamond grooving pattern that provides grip and comfort over extended sessions while being resistant to wear-and-tear.
WOOD SANDWICH
OUR MOST DURABLE CONSTRUCTION
Designed with the lowest carbon footprint in mind, Starboard’s new Wood Sandwich technology is a full deck and bottom sandwich construction finished with a 0.6mm Australian pine wood bottom. A high-performance PVC sandwich core is used on the entire bottom and the deck’s tail areas for maximum stiffness, maximum durability and minimum weight. The deck is further reinforced with layers of uni-directional carbon and flax fibres for added strength and stiffness. Our most durable tech.
The 2021 Ultrakode is in my opinion the best yet. I have never been so comfortable riding a production board in all conditions. I’ve used the 2021 Ultrakode in everything from bolt onshore to big cross-off, it covers everything. What stands out to me this year is the speed – this board is fast! Whether it is the top end speed for jumping or transitioning through turns, it has gone up another gear from the 2020 model.
This board was developed as a combination of the 2020 model and my favourite down the line board which I used in the Red Bull Storm Chase. The swallow tail really helps bite in to the face of the wave while the outline makes it easier to hold my line. I wanted something that was forgiving and fast in onshore conditions, yet when conditions got really good I wanted a board that allowed me to sail aggressively, top-to-bottom with complete confidence. This shape has the best of both worlds.”
