Black Box WoodThe Black Box is not a wave board for all conditions. It is not about top speed. It is not about jumping. The Black Box is the board that excels in small, mushy waves and light winds. Many boards are marketed for real-world conditions and real-world sailors. Dany Bruch’s creation takes it a step further by offering a very short and wide shape with no excess volume that will create and hold speed on a wave like never before.

The Atom IQ Freemove CarbonThe Atom IQs are Starboard’s next generation of super thin freemove boards. As freemove boards, they are designed to be exciting and fast in the straight line yet highly maneuverable and aggressive with a widest wind-range and control. The slim & wide shape of the Atom IQs allow them to plane early like a board with 15 liters of extra volume, yet remains as maneuverable as a board with 15 liters less. With the right tuning, you get a wind range that covers three classic freeride boards. Very thin rails and profile combined with the compact and wide outline give the Atom IQs their sporty and comfortable character with aggressive and easy jibes and a lively planing.

Carve WoodWind-range and jibing performance are critical when freeriding. The all-new 2014 Carves, with their slimmer shapes and reworked rocker are the class-leaders in wind range and accessibility. They jibe beautifully in all manner of styles: from wide-arc power turns to pivotal back foot carves, always with a nice and smooth exit. This year, Rémi Vila, designer of the Carves, went 8% slimmer again. The thickness has been reduced in specific areas of the board to boost control and provide more sensations and more responsiveness without affecting comfort. The rocker has also been reworked, eliminating the tail kick and introducing a longer flat and longer side-cuts. The result is a board which is smoother and more effortless to get on the plane while improving control in the chop as well as top-end speed. To improve jibing, the rails are now softer between the straps where foot pressure is applied to jibe. This softer rail shape is achieved by adding about 1 cm of width in this area without changing the sharp-edge outline of the board. The straight-line characteristics are not affected significantly but the softness of the rail now allows for easier jibing initiation.

Gemini TandemThe Gemini Mk II is Starboard's second generation tandem board Being the first wide-style tandem windsurfer, the original Gemini transformed the idea of sharing windsurfing. With its wide-body stability, you could share windsurfing with beginners instantly and take them planing within seconds. Schools wondered at the ability to teach beginners while sailing together with them on the same board. For windsurfing clubs, windsurfing centers and high performance riders, there was no better exhilaration than to share a high speed reach with a friend on the world's easiest tandem platform. The new Gemini Mk II offers a quantum leap over the original Gemini and has become by far the fastest, most comfortable and natural feeling tandem we have ever designed. Benefit 1: the new Gemini Mk II gets planing much easier, much earlier and with less effort thanks to its longer shape. This longer shape allows the rocker to be stretched out for an ultra long flat profile. The Gemini Mk II planes up easier and rides faster than ever. Benefit 2: there is more space between the sails. You can tack and jibe more easily without the two sails interfering with each other.

Formula Racing Carbon Formula racing starts in just 5 knots of wind, with no upper wind limit. Unlike a slalom course, a racing course requires maximum upwind performance and maximum downwind performance. Finally, Formula racing allows only one board to be used. These parameters are to become the key drivers of Formula board design. Throughout the decade, Starboard’s Formula continued to dominate, with 11 top positions in the 2006 World Championships. In 2007, Formula rules changed, requiring board designs to be frozen for two years. This year, one new design replaces the two Formulas of 2012/2013 for the new season 2014/2015. This new design has an 84 cm tail width combined with a new rockerline that accelerates faster and new tail design and cut-aways on the bottom to promote quicker accelerations and higher speeds on the upwind tack.

Futura Freerace WoodThe Futuras are Starboard's freerace boards. Freerace boards are designed to go extremely fast, like slalom boards, but with more user-friendliness and more comfort. They are the sports cars of windsurfing When it was first introduced in 2008, Starboard's Futuras revolutionary design redefined the freerace category: its 15% thinner profile and its wider outline, inspired by the evolution of modern slalom boards, offered the casual freerider a board that was very stable at low speed yet extremely fast and powerful throughout an incredibly wide wind range. On top of these benefits, the thinner shape made for better jibing and more control. It was a win-win design leap forward. The Futura has become the market leader and the new performance benchmark. In 2011, the Futuras won every comparative test they entered. In 2013 the Futura continued to perform superbly in all tests and outperformed the competition. For 2014, Starboard continues to offer the Futura in six sizes and two technology options, all of them with advanced cut-away shapes, deep deck concaves and all the most advanced racing design technology in a freeride package.

Go ProgressiveThe 2014 GOs share the same modern slim shapes as the 2013 Carve range. Wider and slimmer than ever, they enjoy a wider wind range than before. With the extra width comes more stability and earlier planing, and the ability to use bigger sails and deeper fins. With reduced thickness comes a sharper, more race-like sensation and improved control in higher winds. The GO boards are designed around three key principles: make planing easy, make the ride fast and exciting, and make the handling fun and responsive. Sharing the same shape as the latest slimmer Carves, these new shapes have proven to score almost perfectly in freeride tests: The combination of width and thinness also increases wind range: on one hand, the extra width allows the rider to fit a deeper fin and a larger sail, giving it more light wind power. On the other hand, the low volume from the thin profile allows the board to be more controllable in high winds, using a smaller sail and a smaller fin. The tail area of the deck remains heavily domed so that the board remains comfortable underfoot, in any strap position and even outside of the straps. The GOs are very accessible and comfortable to ride.

Isonic Slalom CarbonIn a nutshell, for 2014, the 80 liters, 87, 90, 97 and 107 liters iSonics are fully upgraded with shorter, wider and slimmer shapes and new cut-aways/side-cut designs that make for a wider wind range than before, more control, better acceleration and higher top speed. The 110, 117 and 130 liters are more evolutionary with new cut-aways/side-cut designs that boost top end speed and acceleration. They are a little bit thinner and the 110 liters was lengthened to match the balance of the range. For 2014, the iSonics come in two constructions: Wood, for more control and comfort and Carbon, for sharper accelerations, a stiffer feel and earlier planing ability. Internally known as Carbon Reflex, this new technology uses 45 degree Biaxial T700 carbon on the deck of the smaller boards and 30 degree Biaxial T700 carbon on the bigger boards combined with Uni-directional 80 carbon on the bottom. This allows the board to flex and rebound quickly and responsively: ultra light, energy efficient yet comfortable and responsive!

Rio Entry Level TufskinThe Rios are Starboard’s entry-level all-round boards They cover learning, progressing and planing for the first time. They are considered all-rounders because they are equally good at providing stability for beginners to learn and providing power for progressing windsurfers to get planing smoothly. Once planing, the Rios feel responsive and fun. The Rios advanced shape and fittings make them by far the most thoroughly designed entry-level board on the market today. For 2014, the Rios are sporting a sleek new graphic look with EVA covering three quarters of the deck. This will reduce wear and tear in the boom-contact areas of the nose and tail of the board.

Kode Wave CarbonThe Kode Waves are for riders who like to blend aerials and takas with powerful wave- carving. Their straight-line speed and acceleration also make them the most ideal for big airs and double combination loops. Drive and speed are initiated off of the front foot, as is the rotational spinning style of Koster. MB Twinzer fins aid in the early release of the tail for backside 360’s and Takas whilst the board is still able to maintain the drive required for going down the line. These are the most ideal boards for big airs and double combination loops. The boards just want to boost whether it’s jumping or waveriding, with excellent projection above the lip along with being able to spin around it. For 2014, the Kode Waves are shorter, making them lighter on the scale and under the feet, as swing weight is reduced. A Moreno Twins Pro Model 67 has also been added for the fair sex and smaller riders and a new 92 liters enters the family for heavier riders or light wind days.

Quad Wave CarbonThe Quads are Starboard’s most versatile wave boards. The unique shape and the four fins generate maximum drive and acceleration, bringing an awesome production of speed, flow and power to your sailing in all wave & wind combinations. Stable and extremely responsive, the Quads are most rewarding when driven off the rails for powerful yet smooth turns. The four-fin grip gives a very connected sensation to the wave yet they still have the ability to lose the tail when extended through the lip for a rotational move. For 2014, a new Moreno Twins Pro Model has been developed for lighter riders and windy conditions. The 87 and 92 models have also seen their rocker lowered for better straight-line performance. All in all, the Quads still provide the same amazing levels of drive and control in a wide range of conditions along with a lively, controlled straight line planing sensation.

Start Entry LevelTaking advantage of Starboard’s innovation quality and extensive development, the Starts are feature-packed, with a special attention to detail. By offering the widest shape in the entry-level segment, they make learning to windsurf and planing in the footstraps easier than ever. It’s simply the easiest board to learn on! The original ultra-wide Start board from 1999 revolutionized the learning processes of windsurfing. It changed it from a difficult sport to learn into a sport that you could learn in just 60 minutes. The current models are longer, reaching lengths of 300 cm to hugely improve the boards’ glide in light winds. With the longer length, the profile of the board can be flattened, which also allows the board to gradually transition into planing mode – smoothly and easily, without the need to overcome a power surge. The Start’s tail design is also wider than any other entry-level board. This allows the Start to get planing earlier, at lower speeds. Again, this helps beginners plane smoothly and easily.

Ultra Sonic Freerace CarbonUltra planing With a width that stretches beyond the PWA’s official limit, the UltraSonic is more efficient at creating planing lift, releasing itself from the water in the lightest of breezes to become the world’s earliest-planing and easiest slalom board.Unlike Formula boards that are designed to go upwind and downwind, the UltraSonic is comfortable reaching in and out at maximum speeds. Start planing on an UltraSonic and work your way effortlessly through lulls – it transforms the idea of light-wind windsurfing. The UltraSonic design starts from the iSonic base and adds some extra width and loses more thickness. The nose of the UltraSonic is then lengthened to make the board smoother to get planing. Tacking, jibing and getting going becomes easier, more stable and more accessible. The rail shapes under the footstraps are more comfortable and less boxy than the iSonics. This makes the board more comfortable, the straps are easier to get into and there is less burning-power in your back-thigh when fully powered.Harder rail edges in the tail increases top speed, enables quicker acceleration in gusts, improves earlier planing and improves the board’s ability to maintain top speed in lulls. Very deep deck concaves maximizes control by having the pivot point between sail and board kept low. The center of gravity of the board is also lowered further to minimize undesired swing weight. The very deep deck concave also break the aerodynamic suction effect that often lifts the nose out of control in high winds.Last but not least, the gap between the sail and deck is eliminated and the mast track can be moved back to improve top end speed without compromising control.

Quad WoodThe Quads are Starboard's wave boards. They generate maximum speed and drive, bringing an awesome flow and power to your sailing With the new 2013 shapes, Quads perform in all wave & wind conditions. Stable and direct in feel, the Quads are most rewarding when driven off the rails for power turns. They like to turn on a full rail. With their four-fin grip, they give a very connected sensation yet they still give the ability to lose the tail when extended through the lip for a rotational (whipped) move. All-new 2013 shapes provide new levels of drive and control in a wider range of conditions along with a lively, controlled, straight line planing sensation. New performance levels: completely new shapes for 2013 across the entire range provide new levels of drive, control and release in all conditions along with a lively, controlled straight-line planing sensation. New! mono-concave shapes improve the board’s ability to generate speed and drive, even in onshore, lightwind and small wave conditions

 WindSUP
ASAPThe boards for SUPing and windsurfing in one WindSUPing is the fastest growing category of windsurfing, marking the return of mainstream windsurfing. Paddle power or sail power? You can choose either. Essentially, Starboard’s WindSUPs utilize the same shape and fittings as their SUP models, but add a mast track and a retractable daggerboard. The range also includes one exceptional light-wind wave surfer specialist: the WindSUP Wave. As windsurf boards, they bring back the essence of relaxed, summer windsurfing: sharing windsurfing with your friends and family, gliding along the coast powered by a gentle breeze and catching some waves. As stand-up-paddle boards, they open up the door to the wonderful world of an entirely new sport: paddle boarding. Stand up, enjoy the view and paddle out to sea, explore the coast line and surf the waves. The WindSUP range offers a variety of models, going from a fast glider, an ultra-stable model to a dedicated surfing model, as mentioned above. We will describe each model in more detail further down below.

 NuEvo Wood The NuEvo is a high-performance surfboard style wave board. It excels in sideshore to side-onshore conditions, from knee to logo high waves. Its specialties are tight rail turns with excellent rail-to-rail transitions and extra-tight top turns. The NuEvos still have good capabilities in larger side-offshore wave conditions. Jumping and aerials are helped by the hyper-compact outline, which reduces swing weight and the wider tail helps boosting off ramps. The NuEvos are comfortable boards for general sailing with forward Vee and soft rails that dampen the effects of chop. The NuEvos are pure twin fin boards.

 Phantom
295The Phantom 295 is a complete windsurfing package that includes a revolutionary racing board design and a complete rig The Phantom class is a new all-in-one international windsurfing class supported by Starboard, with events held around clubs, centres, schools and championship events, coordinated by Starboard International and a global network of national Starboard distributors and partners. The class positions itself as a feeder to many other established classes: the Formula Windsurfing class, the Raceboard class and the Bic Techno One Design: the Phantom 295 class is fun, social and competitive on one hand, and a stepping stone towards other classes on the other hand. Bat-Wing design feature 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 like a narrow missile with a smooth water exit off the tail. 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. As the board increases speed in more wind, the wide planing surface starts to generate lift, allowing the board to transition into planing mode. Because the wings are wide, the planing surface is wide. So the transition into planing 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.
