“
Windsurfing, the first “action” watersport, was in many ways the main inspiration for SUP and kiteboarding.
The pioneer crew who developed the first gear for the new sports were pretty much all windsurf addicts looking for new ways to enjoy the wind and water. Now the wheel keeps on turning and from kiteboarding we learned that easy transport is important and from SUP the incredible feel of gliding on the water at slower speed resurfaced. From the inflatable SUP development were able to create fully planing inflatable windsurfing boards changing the future of our sport. Our collapsable rigs take 1 minute to put together and the incredible inflatable Airplane boards logs well over 30 knots. Have you tried one of those thin and wide Atom boards, revolutionising freeride with easy jibing, speed, control and early planing? We initiated that development 6 years ago and now its all happening. Trends can be slow to create and not all great concepts are accepted timely.
Starboard has been at the forefront of pretty much everything windsurfing the last 20 years and we have won 8 times more PWA constructors titles than any other boards brand. Tiesda You and Remi Vila continue to push the boundaries with new concepts. It’s all about people and the Starboard team invests into more development than any other brand I can imagine. Thanks to our development crew, Scott McKercher, Dany Bruch, Philip Koster, Antoine Lefebvre, Fabian McGovern, Cyril Moussilmani and Albert Piojan for trying a bit harder all the time. We realise that we have a responsibility within our sport and support hundreds of athletes and lots of events to ensure that windsurfing lives on in the spirit of Jim Drake and Hoyle Schweitzer, whom the sport and Starboard owes a lot of its success.

Looking forward.

STARBOARD CATALOG 2016
~
Each year, a new Starboard collection typically brings with it one or two new innovations. Take the GO board in 1998 that introduced the wide-style boards to the World, the Start in 1999 that made learning to windsurf in 60 minutes possible, or the Evo that invented the superhero wave board in 2000 for example.
There was the HyperSonic that reignited Slalom in 2002, or the UltraSonic that made freeriding in light winds possible and the Formula that defined a new era of modern Course Slalom. 2010 saw Starboard introducing the slim board concept with the Atom. 2012 was the year of the Phantom’s Bat Wings and 2013 saw the invention of Inflatable WindSUPs, Some of our off-the-wall concepts became classics, like the Serenity that helped break perceptions of what lightwind windsurfing can be. Or the Compact, our first concept aimed at making windsurfing more compact. People still share some of their best windsurfing moments on the tandem Gemini, an original Jim Drake innovation.
For the single year of 2016, we’re proud to introduce two entirely new innovative board ranges in the Reactor and the AirPlane, a new construction technology breakthrough that is the lightest in the World with UltraCore, and the revolutionary Rail Edge technology for Inflatable WindSUP boards. Together with our team of World Champion riders, our World’s leading R&D team and with our global network of distributors and retailers, as you browse the pages of our catalogue and of our new website, I hope you’ll enjoy discovering all that’s new for 2016, and what makes them the most advanced, highest performance windsurf boards. Welcome to 2016, our most innovative year.
As recently as 2015, we introduced the Long Tail concept that takes the pain out of planing.
Tiesda You Designer / Brand Manager
OUR MOST INNOVATIVE YEAR
“ From growing up windsurfing and shaping boards in Qatar at the age of ten, Tiesda went to graduate in Mechanical Engineering with honours from University College London. Since joining Starboard fifteen years ago, Tiesda’s unique understanding of fluid dynamics and the mechanics of windsurf boards led to designs such as the HyperSonic, the iSonic, the Long Tail concept, the thin Atoms, the Serenity, Windsurfing Cats, today’s new AirPlanes and more.

CARBON WAVE EDITION
REFLEX WOOD (WAVE EDITION and FREERIDE)
CARBON REFLEX
The World’s lightest windsurf board construction.
Starboard wave boards are built in Carbon Wave Edition with flat-laid filaments instead of woven filaments: stiffer, more effective and lighter than regular carbon weaves.
Developed by Jean Louis Colmas in 1984, Wood Technology became Starboard’s trademark construction in 1995. Wood Tech remains a favourite for riders preferring more comfort, more control and the unique feel of an original Starboard.
Carbon Reflex designates a racing construction that uses 45˚ or 30˚ Biaxial T700 flat-laid Carbon on the deck combined with a dual density PVC sandwich core and ultralight unidirectional Carbon on the bottom.
The Wood Reflex Wave Edition uses the same double sandwich, dual density layup as the Carbon models with the deck carbon layer swapping for a 45˚ Biaxial Reflex Wood: more feel and more flex.
Some boards use 30° weaves, some use 45° degree weaves and others use a combination which also includes unidirectional (0° weave) carbon, to achieve tailor-made reflex response according to the boards’ length, thickness and wind-range.
The Wood Reflex used in freeride boards has a true 0.6mm Australian Pine Wood sandwich bottom with a full 3mm PVC Biaxial Glass sandwich deck for a light, crisp and stiff feeling none-sandwich bamboo-based boards can’t match.
Carbon Reflex are our lightest and most responsive feeling boards. Unlike ultra-stiff Carbon boards of previous generations, the Carbon Reflex flexes and responds to give a fast, efficient and comfortable ride.
10% lighter, 30% stronger, UltraCore is a new mechnically superior sandwich core that allows the AtomIQ, Futura and Carve Carbon edition to become lighter yet keep the same strength and toughness as before.
The deck, acting mostly under tension, uses T700 Biaxial Carbon at 45˚ for a responsive flex/reflex and for cushioned landings.
An ultra-light uni-directional Carbon layer adds extra crispness and rigidity in the planing section of the board. The Carbon Innegra rail band adds a rigid frame that brings further stiffness while increasing impact resistance along the sides of the board.

TUFSKIN
ARMOUR TECH
INFLATABLE (AIRPLANE, ZEN & DELUXE)
A unidirectional glass stringer in the nose stiffens the board for an extra crisp feel. A 0.6mm Australian pine wood flat-stringer on the bottom brings shape stability, a stiffer feel again and high resistance to buckling under compressive loads.
Maximum durability and value. Tufskin technology uses layers of 3-dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system that creates volume within the skin as it cures under pressure. This creates a thick, stiff, and durable sandwiched laminate. Wood reinforcements improve the board’s rigidity and the deck’s impact resistance.
Starboard’s super durable and super tough technology designed for windsurfing clubs and schools. Its construction is similar to Tufskin, but with double the layers of 3D glass and an ASA skin shell.
Deluxe and AirPlane Inflatables use a 6” thick drop-stitch core for maximum stiffness and performance. The Zen models use 4.75” thick drop-stitch for a lighter weight.
A parabolic compression band and a full-length central stringer finishes the construction, defining the rocker of the board and preventing twist.
All Inflatable techs include a double layer rail construction: an inner air-tight rail band covered by a thicker, more durable outer rail band.
The 3DX result: durable tough boards that feel crisp, sharp and fast on the water.
A full EVA padding covers 3/4 of the deck for added comfort.
The new Rail Edge tech combined with our proprietary FAST box and Clipperbox fittings, the new Starboard Inflatables are changing the game: for their size and volume, no hard board can match their weight, strength and durability.
Biaxial Glass HD Glass
Glass
Biaxial Glass
According to testing by German SURF magazine in May 2009, Armour Tech is lighter and stronger than blow-moulded polyethylene boards like HiFly boards, and also has higher impact resistance.
The Deluxe outer rail band includes a stiffer, lighter Carbon hybrid band in the mid-section for added stiffness.
Technically the world’s strongest, lightest and most compact technology, all in one.

STARBOARD CATALOG 2016
Tuttle Box: the strongest and most reliable fin box system. Two bolts are used for a more secure fitting. Boards fitted with a Deep Tuttle fin box can use both normal and deep tuttle fins, allowing the board to use a wider range of fin sizes.
New FAST Clipperbox system: A full-size, fully retractable daggerboard system for inflatable boards. The FAST Clipperbox fits into a matching hole in the board, where wall pressure presses and holds the box firmly in place. With its full-length size and full length rubber lips that seal the opening when the daggerboard is retracted, the Fast Clipperbox lets the AirPlane and Inflatable WindSUPs plane up with performance levels equal to conventional hard boards.
Offset Footstrap washer: Extra thick for a firmer grip without bending under pressure. Offset hole: turn the washer 180o and your straps will be tighter by 2.5mm. 2.5mm
K9 Anti-twist plugs: sandwiched between the board and the strap, the K9 plug has four canine teeth that sink into the strap to provide a mechanical anti-twist effect. No twisting means better control, better feel and higher safety. On the most heavy-duty boards, the K9 system is replaced with double-screw strap inserts for the back strap: no twist and super strong.
7x32mm Footstrap Screws: Starboard’s extra wide footstrap screws increase the overall strength of this connection point. The screws will neither snap nor rip out.
The new tool-free, fully retractable Clipperbox system: the new daggerboard moulds the handle and blade into one piece for a stronger design. The daggerboard can be removed from the board without tools, by positioning the daggerboard at 45 and pulling up. The new rubber lips can be removed and replaced easily also without tools. Featured on the AirPlane, the Inflatable WindSUP Deluxe, the Rio, the Start, the GO Windsurfer and AtomIQ Windsurfer.
and
FAST Mast Track system: A fully-integrated mast track system for the AirPlanes. The FAST Mast Track fits into a matching hole in the board, where wall pressure presses and holds the box firmly in place.
FUNCTION
Slot Box 5th Generation: designed to be extra light, weighing 70% lighter than a US box. The Slot Box 13 has 3cm of adjustment room and current US based fins can be cut to fit. The Slot Box 10 trades the adjustment for a completely flush fit. Custom-manufactured bolts fit the same screwdriver as your footstraps, making them effective against sand, keeping the system simple and hassle-free.
Drake UltraLight footstraps: 99g dry weight, hydrophobic EVA construction for zero water absorbption, saving up to 232g dry and 676g when wet. Featured on the iSonic, Futura, Formula, Slalom One and Formula One.
If the rig applies extreme force on the board say in a catapult, the FAST Mast Track will pull out from the board before damage is done to the board: a safety precaution to avoid the board deflating at sea.
Drake Slick Straps MkVI: Narrower freeride/slalom straps. Built similar to the Wave strap with a softer flex and a narrower body. Size Indicator Tabs makes strap sizing a breeze. New Candy Colour top finish, available in Carve Blue, AtomIQ Green and Racing White.
FAST Tuttle Box system: This box uses the same principle as the FAST Mast Track and FAST Clipperbox to fit a tuttle fin into your AirPlane board. The fin box fit is strong and stiff because it uses the full depth of the 6� drop stitch, connecting the rider directly to the fin like conventional hard boards.
Sliding size adjustment slots
New: strip resistant, rip resistant, twist resistant T-shape brass inserts makes Slot Boxes stronger against reef impacts than a US Box.

Step forward in waveboard evolution. Short length, nose width, relatively flat rocker and a quad fin setup amount to a unique sensation on the water: unparalleled reactivity. Create drive through turns and redirect immediately when hitting the lip. Fit into tighter pockets and boost airs easily. 1
Outline: compact and stubby, with a lot of nose width. Waist-high or logo waves, a shorter board fits into tighter pockets, making for more radical surfing. Width makes it easier to hit (and not miss) the lip, and improves stability and confidence in the rider.
2
Rails: relatively fine rails, with softer low-apex rails towards the nose for grip and sharper rails in the back for planing release and bite.
3
Rocker: fast and flat rocker for speed, both in the straight line and on the wave.
4
Bottom shape: heavy vee off the tail allows for quick rail-to-rail transitions. Foot pressure is instantly rewarded. Combination of single and double concaves from fins to nose for speed, control and reactivity.
5
Fins: quad fin setup provides grip and drive with amazing projection through the lip when hit, holding a rail or blowing the tail. Back fins have a wider base for more grip; front fins provide stability and control while driving the board through the turns.
6
Swallow tail: helps to give bite in a wider tail board while helping rail-to-rail transitions.

Instant grip, connection and drive. The Quad brings speed, flow and power to your sailing with the most connected sensation to the wave. Four fins, tail-vee bottom shape and surf-style rails make for the most responsive, powerful and smoothest turns driving off the rails.
PWA Champion Daida Moreno
Power Wave Riding 1
Freeride 1
Outline: traditional outline and more outline curve between the feet with extra rail-rocker curvature makes for easier, tighter and more vertical turns.
2
Rocker: a balanced rocker with a low entry, a “power flat” positioned forward of the mast track and a decent tail kick that combine to mix fast planing performance with responsive turning ability.
3
Rails: a combination of volume for buoyancy and sharpness for sensitivity, control and grip through high-speed turns, while dealing effectively with chop or turbulence.
“An instantly natural board that you can just forget about under your feet. There’s something special going on in the acceleration and nature of the turning. You feel very connected to the rail and can feel awesome, direct bite. It delivers confidence and amazing drive into, through and out of turns. A real tester’s favourite.” Windsurf Magazine – Wave board Test 2014

4
Bottom Shape: mono-concave in the front mid-section creates acceleration, speed and lift. The transition to the double concave Vee happens forward of the fins for quick and easy rail-to-rail transitions and cutbacks. Flat Vee in the tail for immediate trajectory changes.
5
Fins: classic Quad fin set up with a standard fin cluster positioned right under the back foot for grip. Non-adjustable Slot Box 10 for plug & play performance.
6
Squashed square-tail: adds buoyancy which translates to more versatility in light winds or slower waves while providing good projection off the lip. “Really fast and easy to control. Little inputs from the rider produce immediate results. It feels really light and easy when wave riding over the front foot, and the rails and fins give you a very connected feel to the wave, with a lot of grip. No board keeps speed and links tight turns the way the Starboard Quad does.” Windsurfing Jahrbuch – Wave board Test 2015

PWA Champion Philip Koster
The fast wave board. Philip Koster’s choice. The fast rocker and mono-concave squash tail create speed and acceleration for taking jumps and waveriding to the airs. It just wants to boost, jumping or waveriding. It offers excellent projection above the lip with a lot of power adapted to the new generation of aerial and rotational wave riding. All-new shapes for 2016. 1
Outlines: the new Kodes keep their comfortably generous widths under the mast track and back foot for early planing and sliding reverse moves.
2
Rails: softer, round and finer forward rails are more forgiving in maneuvers while providing more acceleration and precision in the turns. Sharp and crisp in the tail for reliable bite.
3
Rocker: fast rocker with moderate tail kick across the range. The rail rocker and centerline rocker flatten and accelerate at different points throughout the board’s length to combine turning ability when wave-riding with speed and acceleration when jumping and straight-line riding.
4
New Bottom Shape: Mono-concave in the tail creates speed and acceleration. The forward Vee has been brought back into the mono-concave for a smoother initiation of the bottom turn and rail-to-rail transitions.
5
Fins: Vertical CNC G10 Twinzer fins by MB generate compact power with classic traction while still allowing for early release of the tail in new-school rotation moves. Can be converted to single fin for a more classic feel.
6
Drive and speed are initiated off of the front foot, as is the rotational spinning style of Köster.
7
Wave Edition construction, for a virtually indestructible board.
“In the surf, it is easy and radical at the same time. It forgives mistakes such as foot placement or pressure, it generates a lot of speed in the surf while being at ease in mushy waves. Its radical side is seen by its ability to turn tight and with power but also by its capacity to throw all the modern moves such as takas, 360, off-the-lips and anything else you can think of. Fast, efficient and extremely playful in the surf, especially in mushier waves, this board is a real weapon. The boards to watch this year.” WIND Magazine – Wave board Test 2014

The fast and versatile freewave board for a broad range of conditions. The fast rocker, thin rails and thruster fin setup come together to improve the new Kode FreeWaves’ wave performance while keeping their top speed and directional traction. They offer amazing versatility, performing equally well on flat water, chop or waves. 1
2
3
Outline: Moderately wide outline provides stability in sub-planing conditions. New narrower nose on the bigger models helps to initiate the turns and reduce nose drag. Plenty of volume in the tail provides buoyancy and speed out of the jibe. Rails: Relatively thin and sharp rails enhance grip and control in the turns while providing drive. Slightly thick in the tail adds forgiveness while a sharp edge gives planing release. Extra soft in the nose for smoother, fuller grip during fully committed rail carves. Rocker: Everything is built around a fast rocker with a low nose angle to reduce drag, maximize control and top speed. A flat section between the mast track and front footstrap promotes early planing and just the right amount of tail-kick makes for responsive waveriding.
4
Bottom Shape: “Accelerating Vee” combined with a new double concave bottom provides responsiveness with added grip and quick reactivity, added control and comfort, without compromises on top speed and in all sea conditions. Accelerating Flat Vee in the tail helps quick rail-to-rail transitions off the back foot.
5
Fins: Thruster setup for all Kode FreeWaves further boosts waveriding ability with improved responsiveness, grip and control without sacrificing speed. Each Kode size is tested and tuned for the perfect fin combination: for speed, traction, control, upwind power and grip.
6
Fast rocker with more consistent tail kick across the range. Windsurf magazine described it as an inspiring, fantastically tunable platform all about speed.
“Early planing with powerful acceleration. Fast, very fast, not sticking at all to the water and jumping easily. The easiness of planing and the high top speed allow riders to look for ramps to jump. Whether you're doing chop hops on flat water or a loops in waves, the Kode FreeWave does it all.” Windsurfing Jahrbook

Outline: 2.5cm wider on the 93 and 3cm wider on the 103 while keeping a flat deck, the new Flares are more stable and more balanced both before planing and when finishing off moves. The width carries under your front foot and combined with the narrow thick tail, you get easy carve, easy pop and easy air.
Profile: flat, thin deck in the middle and nose section combined with the thick tail keeps the board’s center of gravity close to the rider. For more control and a more responsive board.
With their wider widths, the Flares could become 2.5cm shorter again for a more compact, reactive, lighter feel and even faster rotations. Whether you’re doing your first spock or flaka or your already on to the next level with clean, high konos, culos, paskos or kabikuchis, the new Flares are stable, quick and light.
Construction: Super light, deck and bottom 45o Carbon Reflex construction for minimal weight, responsive impact-absorbing flex.
Rails: The 7mm new, extra thick tail with extra volume make for a more comfortable stance, easier reverse slide and a more forgiving freestyle board overall. Also new for 2016, the rails have been softened and rounded up a fraction from the front footstraps to the nose, to improve comfort and slide smoothness without affecting speed or early-planing. The rails remain hard and sharp in the tail for speed, quick planing and acceleration.
Rocker & Bottom Shape: carried over from iSonic shapes for maximum speed, efficiency and acceleration. Fins: New for 2016, the Drake Ready to Freestyle by Taty Frans fits into a PowerBox fin for maximum strength.
Tested in Alacati, Bonaire, Maui and New Caledonia with Taty Frans, Amado Vrieswijk, Ethan Westera, and PWA Champions Kiri Thode and Sarah-Quita Offringa.

Fast racing machines designed for the highest top speeds and the highest average speeds, for the quickest accelerations and powerful overtaking abilities throughout a wide wind range. As tradition demands, Starboard’s 2016 iSonics have been upgraded across the range with all-new shapes, with Starboard’s largest test and development program verifying performance in the different conditions of Vietnam, Maui, Thailand, New Caledonia and Marseille. The new shape evolutions aim to transfer mechanically more power from the sailor to the board in the light-medium wind models, gain efficiency with new rail shapes and new wetted-surface area designs on key models. 2

8
New cutaway shapes combined with ‘side’ cut outs and heel extension: reduces wetted area for the same lift, which makes it more efficient. The fin gains more traction and the rider will feel like the board locks more on to its fin. Most importantly, the width of the tail at the ‘one-foot off’ remains the same: the board will maintain its ability to provide power, anti-roll stability through chop and acceleration out of a jibe

The new pigment blue finish mixed into the Carbon laminate improves the board's resistance to UV light.
At low speeds, the Bat-Wings sink below the water to allow the water to flow around the narrow, streamlined section of the tail. The board glides with a smooth water exit off the tail.
46
In slightly more wind, the board starts to lift on to its rail, so one wing lifts out of the water while the leeward wing continues to travel below the water surface, acting like an extra fin.
As the board increases speed with in more wind, the wide planing surface starts to generate lift, allowing the board to transition smoothly into planing mode. Because the wings are wide, the planing surface is wide. So the transition into planing is happens earlier than other narrow-tail raceboards.
In full planing mode, the board planes high above the water, rides fast and free, allows for deeper fins to be used and for deeper upwind/downwind angles to be reached.
Slanted adjustable mast track: the front section is raised, helping the board to roll up onto its rail quickly in lightwinds. The back section is sunk below deck level, to improve control in full planing mode
The L model adds 3cm extra thickness for added volume, ideal for heavier riders. The thickness in the tail, under the back foot in reaching position, remains the same as the standard 377 to maintain control in full planing position. Phantom 377: recommended for sailors under 80kg Phantom 377 L: recommended for sailors over 80kg

“A nice balanced gliding feel upwind in light winds. As soon as a little breeze comes the rail wants to angle itself up deliver exciting railing sensations. With a bit more wind the daggerboard retracts and the hull planes up early with great power around the tail part, delivering an enjoyable and fun upwind ride. On the reach the revolutionary winger concept creates a lift and amazing sailing sensation which makes the Phantom 295 the most versatile board in the history of Starboard. The Phantom 295 is a pet project that we are very proud of and wish to share with freeriders and regatta sailors the world over.” Svein Rasmussen

The lightest, toughest and most compact windsurf boards. 1
Shape: 6” drop stitch for maximum stiffness. Inflate to at least 18 PSI for best performance. The wide, parallel outline with rounded tail and nose provides stability for non-planing conditions and freeride fun when fully planing.
4
AirPlane 300: 300cm long, the most stable and most suitable for beginners. Fitted with our new full-length, rubber-sealed daggerboard case for Inflatables.
2
Rail Edge technology: the proprietary 3D elastomer compound creates a release edge that is hard and effective at getting the water to release and get the board planing. While hard, it is still capable of following the contours of the board in two dimensions, and fold and roll up in the third dimension.
5
AirPlane 285: 285cm long, a blend between beginner stability and progressive freeriding. Available in the same daggerboard version as the 300, or in the lighter centre-fin version that is more geared to freeride and progression windsurfing.
3
With this hard release Rail Edge technology, you can accelerate and enjoy the most exciting planing sensation possible on no other inflatable board.
6
AirPlane 255: 255cm long, it is the full-freeride model that, with its centre fin slot, is great for kids to learn and progress on too.
Always inflate to at least 18 PSI for best performance. Lighter, no cam freeride sails or wave sails are recommended. 27 knots: the current world speed record for an Inflatable Windsurf board set by the AirPlane 255 March 25 2015, Sprecks beach Maui.

CARBON ULTRACORE WOOD REFLEX 3DX 1
Slim, fast and with the wind range of two classic freeriders, an AtomIQ takes the complication out of windsurfing. For 2016: new 104, 114 and 124 shapes, and introducing the new, World’s lightest UltraCore Carbon board technology. 1
New shapes: the 104, 114 and 124 are all new wider shapes with a narrower surface behind the back foot and more deck dome in the tail for added comfort.
2
Outline: compact and short for minimal swing weight, quick reactions and more control in high winds.
3
Rocker: all AtomIQs use Starboard’s universal rocker, first used in the iSonics. This magic rocker is the core ingredient for the AtomIQ’s blend of speed and control with an efficient, flying sensation.
4
5
54
Profile: 10cm thin in the mid-section minimizes excess volume, lowers the board’s centre of gravity and sheds excess float for more control and a wider wind range. For 2016, the new shapes have 1cm of added extra dome just under the feet, in the tail, for added comfort and grip. Advanced windsurfers: choose the AtomIQ that is the same width as your current board, for enhanced effciency. Progressing windsurfers: choose the same volume as your current board, for more stability.

7
UltraCore: The World’s lightest windsurf board construction using a new Starboard proprietary sandwich core material with up to 50% higher mechanical properties. A unidirectional Carbon layer adds extra crispness and rigidity in the planing section of the board. Wood Reflex: a full PVC Sandwich Core deck construction with Biax Glass for reflex and an Australian pine wood bottom for the unique Starboard Wood feel. Both techs include a full perimeter Carbon Innegra rail band that creates a rigid frame and increases rail impact resistance. Wind Range: combining their slim profile with the compact outline, an AtomIQ covers a massive wind range. With a deeper fin and a larger size sail, the AtomIQ’s width will generate power and efficiency in lightwinds. With a smaller fin and a smaller sail, the AtomIQ’s control carries into higher winds. Your sail will overpower you well before the board reaches its limit.
8
New fins: new Freeride Power CNC G10 fins with a thinner tip profile, an upright rake and a thicker base. For maximum stability and traction.
9
AtomIQ 160 special: this model is based on the 140 and stretched 20cm longer for more lightwind glide. The 3DX model has a tuttle centre-fin system, making it an ideal all-round board covering learning, progressing and planing freeride fun, with adults as well as kids.

“
"The GO is the most complete board in the category that will satisfy the struggling beginner just as much as the planing beginner and the expert. It's a board you'll hang on to for several years, with the outstanding feature of a soft EVA deck that will accommodate those who fall a lot. Another important point is that the board will allow you to rig smaller sails than the other boards in the test group, down to a size of 5.5. The turning radius in a carve can be tight, and the board is more playful than the test group's average." PlancheMag Special Test, France

THE EASY CHOICE
The Rios are Starboard’s entry-level and easy progression boards. They’re the most advanced shapes in their segment, including two brand new Long Tail editions, the Rio Long Tail M and the Rio Long Tail L. The added Long Tail offers even more glide and allows the rider to get planing incredibly smoothly, so seamlessly, like magic. It’s an amazing experience to get planing without first having to learn how. By preventing the board from lifting up as the rider accelerates, there is neither energy hump to overcome nor is there any special planing technique to learn. The board accelerates and accelerates and the rider finds himself or herself naturally planing. It’s a great sensation.

Rio 1
Contour Deck Shape: as the rider progresses and moves back on the board, windsurfing faster and faster and with more and more power in the sail, the feet line up naturally with the inboard strap positions. The deck of the board is specifically contoured for inboard straps, making the Rios the most comfortable and natural board to learn planing on.

Wide Tail: the Contour Deck system allows the straps to be inboard on a wide-tail design. This wide tail helps improve glide and directional traction thanks to more parallel lines. The wider tail also helps create more planing power. Bat Wings: the extra wide section of the tail is relatively thin, forming what we call Bat Wings. At low speeds, the wings are below the surface and the water flows along a streamlined path. At higher speeds, the tail rises and as the wings break the water surface, a wide and efficient planing surface is created.

Outline: the S, M and L sizes are 276cm, 290cm and 302cm long, giving a smooth fast glide with plenty of directional traction for beginners to develop the right sensations. Their widths, at 78cm, 81cm and 86cm, offer a blend between stability and glide. The Long Tail versions add extra length behind the fin.

Graphics: the EVA is extra-thick to make it more durable. There is no EVA in the nose and tail area where the boom drags across. The painted blue design is placed above the rail apex where it is less exposed to dings and scratches. All Rios are available in Tufskin or the heavier, tougher Armour Tech construction. Recommended for school and clubs, the Armour Tech’s double thickness, double layered construction is extra durable. The deck, bottom and rails of the board are reinforced with a thin ASA plastic skin for extra impact and scratch resistance. A non-EVA covered version is also available on order. Rio M Long Tail and Rio L Long Tail also available in School Edition: the same as ArmourTech but all white for easier repairs.

Boards for SUP and windsurfing in one. Paddle when the wind is light and windsurf when the wind picks up. As windsurf boards, they bring back the essence of relaxed, summer windsurfing: sharing with your friends and family, gliding along the coast powered by a gentle summer breeze and catching some waves. As stand-up paddle boards, stand up, enjoy the view and paddle out to sea, explore the coastline and surf the waves. WindSUP 9’x30": The most compact model, ideal for younger or lighter sailors. WindSUP 10’x34": The favorite all-rounder and known as the Whopper. A fabulous paddle board which performs very well in the waves and at the same time doubles as a cool entry level Windsurfer. WindSUP 11'2"x30": A new favourite from the popular SUP model known as The Blend, offering an excellent glide.
WindSUP 12’ x 36” Summerboard: The most stable board of the range, also known as the Summerboard. Hop on board with your whole family, teach windsurfing or cruise solo with no fear of falling in. Our most recommended board for schools. WindSUP 12’2” x 30” Freeride: The authentic Windsurfer experience is back. With a unique planing glide, it absorbs the chop thanks to the deep-vee doubleconcave nose and performs as a fast all-round racer as a stand-alone SUP board. Also available as a Waterman Package, complete with paddle and sail.
Construction Technologies available: 10’ x 34” Whopper in StarShot technology
11’2” x 30” Blend in StarShot technology
WindSUP 12’ x 33”: The best compromise between glide and stability, known as the Atlas. A solid platform for even the heaviest of riders.
Essentially, Starboard’s WindSUPs utilize the same shape and fittings as their SUP counterparts and add a mast track to attach a sail and a centre fin to keep the board upwind. Visit www.star-board-sup.com for more information on the complete Starboard SUP collection. WARNING: WindSUPing on paddle boards that do not have centre fins or daggerboards is dangerous and not recommended as the rider will drift downwind.

A.S.A.P. : Starboard’s ultra-strong construction with a full EVA deck and a tough thermo-EVA rail finish for user friendliness and added durability. The A.S.A.P. models are fitted with a fixed centre fin keeping the weight low and make the boards more efficient for paddleboarding and light wind windsurfing. In stronger winds, the user must return to the beach to remove the centre-fin manually. StarShot: new for 2016, the StarShot options blend a premium finish with a great weight and value. This new go-to option is fitted with a centre fin box like the A.S.A.P. models. Fit a centre fin for light wind windsurfing, and remove it manually for high wind windsurfing and paddle boarding.

WINDSUP INFLATABLE WITH RAIL EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Starboard introduces the World’s first inflatable WindSUP boards with drop-stitch technology. The drop stitch connects the top and bottom panels, making the boards really stiff. They’re still soft on impact, making them safe, comfortable and tough. You can drop them around, they’ll bounce instead of cracking: the lightest, strongest and most compact WindSUP boards in the world. 1
New for 2016, Starboard’s Rail Edge Technology: a proprietary 3D elastomer compound that creates a release edge that is hard and effective at releasing water, capable of bending to follow the contours of the board and fold to roll up. With this hard release Rail Edge technology, you can accelerate and enjoy the most exciting planing sensation possible on no other inflatable board. Sizes available: 9'0" x 30" Converse – for kids 10'0" x 35" Whopper – the stable and compact all-rounder 11'2" x 32" Blend – the all-rounder with extra glide 11'2" x 40" Tender – the super stable choice 11'6" x 30" Touring – the all-round fast model 12'0" x 33" Atlas – the longer, stable all-rounder 12'6 x 31" Touring – the model with the fastest glide

WINDSUP SAIL
PACKAGES
The WindSUP Sail Packages are designed to power SUP boards fitted with mast tracks and lightwind windsurfing boards. Starboard offers two options: Compact and the Classic.
To minimize the size, the sail package uses a 4-piece RDM mast and a 3-piece boom.
Extension: Extension has also been reinforced in key stress areas for more durability and reliability.
Available in 5.5 and 6.5m2
The WindSUP Compact Sail Package is the ultra compact model. It is light, easy to assemble and the easies to transport or store.
Downhaul Hook Pulley: New downhaul 3-roller hook pulley makes downhauling hassle-free. Downhaul line comes connected to the hook pulley for even faster and simple rigging. Just hook it to grommet and downhaul.
Boom: New boom with two-pin clips is now stronger and more reliable. Boom head has been redesigned for a more secure fit around the RDM mast. Adjustment holes on the back-end now face down for water drainage when the sail comes out of the water after uphauling.
Available in 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5m2 The WindSUP Classic Sail Package is the original light wind windsurfing rig. It is powerful and easy to assemble. With its reduced diamter mast, it is lighter and feels smoother on the water.
Mast base: New mast base with mechanical joint is the perfect solution for those uphauling frequently. The mechanical joint also helps to put less pressure on the mast track inserts of inflatable windSUP boards.
