Don't know if this has been posted before, but looks interesting for us cold water paddlers
I think it's great that starboard have done this.. Not my cup-a-tea but I'm sure some will like it..
I reckon you'd get pretty sweaty in a dry suit.. but it's a good idea for cold areas..
Colour looks a bit gay.. They should do a black one.

A black one would be even sweatier.
DJ with the amount of times you lose your board in down winders it might keep you warm in the water, particularly when sitting on a channel marker waiting for rescue!

I lied......I don't paddle 'long distance

Looks quite nice. But I would not go for a yellow one like DJ is yearning for. Maybe black or grey with a highly visible front and back.
It would be great for the winter White Water stuff we have been doing. I wonder how much!?
That V panel type look at the sides of the waist is likely to make anyone with even the slightest upholstery look like a porker. Noddy suits tend to be unflattering anyway. Great idea, but a shame that Starboard have done the colours and design. If SIC has done it it would be black with discreet white logs and would look way cool...
You need to also buy undergarments, which will then have to be washed, so it might not be a cheap or particularly easy solution.
And if you want one of these, then the water is likely to be so cold that you need boots and gloves. So how do they fit with this suit?
NICE idea
I dont tend to judge peoples sexual preferences based on the colour of their clothes so I want go in that discussion
Showing somebody paddeling th suit when its warm enough for bare feet seems strange tom
I see the suit as a rival to the supskin-suits that have become quite popular in europe for winter paddeling.
Most of my winter paddeling is done downwind , and I would not trust the suit there, for paddeling flatwater in canals thick boots are the most essential equipment part IMO .
Do you think the Supskin Ultimate Pure Suit or Starboard All Star SUP Suit is better?

I have not seen either product in the flesh but despite being a Starboard pimp, I would have to say it is a big call to assume the first attempt at a drysuit from Starboard is going to be better than the top of the range product from a company that has been doing it for quite a while.
I'll stick to some dinghy sailing gear myself. Far greater range, better priced and some manufacturers have highly refined products...

Have you seen a price of the Starboard suit or are you assuming the worst? 
I saw somewhere US$800 for the Starboard suit - that's $1,150 in Australian pesos. The Supskin Ultimate Pure Suit sells for 949 Swiss Francs, which converts to A$1,380. By the time you throw in freight if you're ordering them offshore (plus GST because they'll hit the paywall)......Either way, I don't think they'll be selling many down under.
I found a post at facebook as below; Does these means Supskin produce the Suit for Starboard?

Good find. Yeah that's pretty much what it's confirming. Makes sense as Starboard rep Dan Gavere has had a sponsorship deal with Supskin for a while so he would be the conduit between the companies.
Wear a Supskin suit and it's a great product because weather and water are becoming colder nowadays in Europe (below 15 degrees Celsius and lower) A wetsuit is not an option for me: sweatty and you get cold on long paddle sessions due to the sweat is cooling you down too far. A wetsuit is not the best isolator on the long term. A Supskin suit is a breathable suit, much better as a neoprene wetsuit or standard drysuit. It is keeping the warmth inside but it's not too warm. And it's keeping the real cold outside. And the big advantage: you start dry and stay dry. The Starboard suit has been made with cooperation of the owner of Supskin. It's more like a racingsuit, snugg fit.
