Starboard had a great season last year, winning the PWA Constructor’s title, the Wave title, the Supercross title, the Slalom title and also taking the 11 first places in the Formula Worlds. Will we or any other manufacturer ever be able to beat that record?
Already in March 2005 we set our new focused targets:Futura: The impossible engineering of one single range of futuristic freeride boards that would be as fast as S-Types, as quick to accelerate as iSonics and as fun to jibe as the Carves. Kombat: To transform the wave oriented Kombat to also become the quickest and lightest of crossover boards.iSonic: To increase speed and control of the World’s by far most successful slalom range.Evo XTV: Increase the versatility of the World’s most popular wave line.Formula: Extending the performance lead of both the Formula and the Apollo.Rio: Introduce the fastest link between entry level and in-the-straps planing performance.Start: Supply the best ever board to learn and teach on.Go: Expand the appeal of our most successful range both in the top-end performance and accessibility.
Today you can enjoy the results:With the test and design help of Tiesda You, Per Andersson, Jim Drake, Remi Vila, Scott McKercher, Michael Nakvachara, Kevin Pritchard, Taty Frans and Chris Pressler we met our targets. We did however lose our most dedicated team member Per, and can only aspire to continue his passion for windsurfing.
We also went into a new direction of expanding windsurfing through SUP, Stand Up Paddling.SUP invites to great fun paddling exercise on flat water days, wavesailing in 2-9 knots and surfing on glassy wave days.
We would like to thank everyone that works with us and those who share our visions.
“Svein Rasmussen is one of the most influential figures in modern windsurfing. Following a successful career as a professional windsurfer, he changed tack to start Starboard in 1994 and created a company that has evolved into a clear leader in today’s competitive board market. His innovative and trend-setting ideas are responsible for the introduction of the short and wide board design but, far from resting on his laurels, he has plenty more ideas to expand and progress our sport.” Windsurf UK, April 2007

In my other career, “The Box” was called the “flight envelope”, the irregular shaped map of altitude vs. speed within which an aircraft could fly – outside of which it could not. For example, at sea-level a modern fighter plane has to be going about 50 mps (100 knots) to fly at all and can’t go faster there than about 400 mps without breaking up. At higher altitudes, it can accelerate to around 600 mps and climb to about 20 km before it runs short of lift and thrust. Different aircraft designs, of course, have different “flight envelopes.” Helicop-ters and blimps fly just fine at zero speed but are no match for a fighter at high speed. “Pushing the envelope”, i.e., “The Box”, is what the aerospace industry has been steadily doing the past 100 or more years beginning with the Wright brothers and, before them, the Montgolfier brothers. A noted anomaly, however, is the X-15. It flew three times faster and three times higher than any manned aircraft – before or since. The only exception, the SR-71, it still beat by twice and twice, respectively. That’s what I mean by “Outside The Box.”
What does this have to do with windsurfing and Starboard? Quite a bit. Thinking and working “Outside The Box” is what Starboard does for windsurfing better than anyone else.
As one example, Starboard is moving the wind speed needed to windsurf “Outside The Box” and down to Zero. And when this happens, the number of eligible sites multiply -- the sand in your eyes disappears -- the size of bikinis shrink and their numbers rise. A sure-fire formula.
How does Zero happen? The first step has already been taken with Serenity. In winds as light as 1.0 mps and the flat water that goes with them, Serenity slips along at a remarkable speed without you noticing. Pump if you like for more speed or more exercise -- your choice. The next step springs from the origins of windsurfing and surfing: 1) standing and 2) using what nature provides to move. The stand-up paddle -- SUP -- is as logical as it can be. Why didn’t we think of it before? And then there’s the sail. Physics does not say that sails can’t both power and glide. That’s what birds do already – and in Zero wind, by the way.
What about stepping “Outside The Box” in the other direction -- The high speed direction? Here again, the conventional approach – in this case, high wind, small (special) sail, small board and special fin -- has run into the side of “The Box”, at about 50 knots. Even if not, it will shortly when the fin can no longer be kept from cavitating. But don’t bet on “The Box” holding. The fin’s function can be transferred to a surface piercing cavitating inclined plane and the sail’s drive can be increased by lowering its center-of-effort to the harness hook – borrowing from its cousins, the kite-board and the kite. “Outside The Box” for sure but it will first appear on the pages of a Starboard catalogue.

“40 years after the original Skate, his creative spirit is still in top gear. Jim, dear father, we wish you a happy 40th birthday. Thanks for everything you have brought to windsurfing.” Wind France, May 2007
OUTSIDE THE BOX - in both directions
Trends are interesting. They reveal the path traveled from the past to the present and indicate what the future holds. When I first started designing boards at the age of fifteen, windsurfing was in the midst of its 90’s era when the trend was rapidly gravitating towards the chase for ever higher performance with more demanding designs that work in very specific conditions. Popularity of windsurfing was also dropping proportionally.
Boy have things changed this last decade. With the advent of widestyle boards like the GO and the Start, a paradigm shift occurred in the windsurfing world. Trends started to change direction; windsurfing started to become more and more accessible. The wide-style Formula brought the planing threshold down and thus made performance more accessible more often, even in lightwind areas. Extrapolate these trends to more recent years and look where this has led: slalom performance became more accessible more often thanks to boards like the Hypersonic and iSonic that offer maximum speed across a wider wind-range. Evos revolutionized wave board development by offering maximum versatility across a wider range of conditions. The largest Kombats, the first widestyle all-round cross-over board, doubled our cross-over segment.
The trend is now towards boards that offer the highest levels of perfor-mance in a more accessible way, boards that work in lighter winds and boards that work across a wider wind range.
And Windsurfing is becoming a more popular sport once more; the market is growing again, and as we extrapolate this trend into the future, it’s hard not to get excited.
And so we proudly present to you our 2008 range. It’s simply the most comprehensive range, the most thoroughly developped collection, and down right coolest products we’ve ever made.
Bringing windsurfing performance and fun down to just 2 or 3 knots of wind are our new Phantom Race, Serenity and Stand-up paddle crossover boards. Extending the performance and wind range in windsurfing’s most popular segment are the superbe freeride Futuras and the legendary GOs. The Kombats have been totally remastered to plane up earlier, maintain maximum waveriding performance yet with more versatility in freestyle and freeride. The Evo 70 and 75 have been reworked to offer more versatility in more conditions while keeping their fluid and radical nature. The Apollo and Formula continue to extend their lead after winning the World and European Champion titles, with earlier planing and a wider wind ranges than ever achieved before. The iSonic, the current undisputed pacemaker in modern slalom design, steps up another gear with greater speed across a wider wind range. The new Rio designs open up unchartered dimensions in lightwind entry-level and all-wind freeriding, featuring its revolutionary Contour Deck concept. The Start comes with this same new deck concept and a new design that brings more glide with more stability. Its new colour-coded deck shows not only ideal foot-placements but also ideal sail positions for beginners. Learning (or teaching) to windsurf has become never been simpler.
These boards and the Dream Team: this makes us Starboard and this trend, it’s our vision. The future is bright. And it’s very exciting.
“A graduate in Mechanical Engineering, Tiesda You joined Starboard as Svein’s apprentice in 2000 keen to use his knowledge in the sport he’d grown up around and had a real passion for. Learning from his mentor and thriving in an unrestricted creative atmosphere, he has been responsible for many of Starboard’s revolutionary designs over the last five years” Windsurf Maga-zine, Jan/Feb 2006
“Tiesda You is already something different. Shaper for the Starboard brand, he has created an impressive number of mythological boards. Of French national-ity, Cambodian origin and born in Sudan, Tiesda grew up in Qatar shaping boards before moving to London to pursue studies in engineering, fluid dynamics and composite materials at UCL. A shaping prodigy and a master of curves.” Portrait by Planchemag, April 2004.

Joe Dumrungvivat has helped make Starboard the best selling windsurfing brand the last year through his position as sales manager. Now he is moving up as general manager. With his 11 years of Starboard experience he will oversee the main picture of our organization, and make sure that we can deliver a better overall service.
Remi Vila keeps on traveling between Martinique, Thailand and other exotic areas to test Starboards racing program. Remi used to be one of the best sailors on the int Race board scene and now he is also the coach of the very successful Martinique windsurfing team. He also helps mov the FE class forward.
Kjell Vagle has indeed recovered. With new inspiration from the F1 circuit and his eternal positive outlook, we hope to see Kjell execute new plans and strategies on how to get more ladies into our sport. Kjell is known for his outstanding charisma, understanding of trends and unique way to connect with everyone. One of Kjell’s main projects is to develop “easy buy and easy rig” packages. Let’s see what he can come up with this year.
Keith Baxter is our best helping hand on the water. During shoots he ensures that we have the right gear at the right place to capture the best possible action. His unique technical knowledge goes back to the times when practically every top 10 pro in the world would Purchase Keith’s Hawaiian Proline booms, simply because they were the best. Now both he and his beautiful wife Karen he are busy following their kids Ashley and Connor windsurfing around the world.
Scott Mc Kercher keeps stepping it up. His style on and off the water is getting more distinguished every year, and the artistic side of Scotty is unfolding itself further with the introduction of his book and movie, Ocean Flow. Scotty is on top of our wave oriented development program. As an early converter to the new World of SUP, he is together with Jeff Henderson and Steve Roan also helping us set the pace in this program. Scotty is one of a few good men, and someone we trust will lead Starboard to be a better brand year after year.
Ian Fox keeps things in line. Our web site is a place where lots of things can get “hot”, and Ian is trying to keep the most active visitors from being too successful in creating havoc. He also takes care of our photoshoot from A to Z and is the driving power behind our speed board program. President of Starboard World Limited and a father to Tyler and Carter, he really needs the help and understanding from his wife Janine to get time to do it all.
Eric Girard is more at home in Canada nowadays. He will in the future focus more on filming and photography, to keep on broaden his and our artistic horizon. He spends quite a bit of time with his growing Windsurfing and Kiteboard club, but we hope to see him soon returning to the basics.
Peter Hart, a former British Slalom champion and member of the 40 knot club. Known as the “technique guru”, his articles and award winning DVDs have brought help to literally thousands of improving windsurfers worldwide. Peter runs a clinic tour all over the world from Ireland to the Caribbean and has been sailing for Tushingham sails for 22 years.
Continuing the search for new and better windsurfing locations. What they see and feel is being documented in their travel documenta-ries which are published in the best windsurfing mags world wide. Kerstin’s photography skills are better than ever and Chris is now even a regular competitor on the PWA circuit.Check their cool site: www.continentseven.com/sevenseas
The long standing touring of Ellen and Roger has helped thousands of people getting into windsurfing. Their “taste of windsurfing” starts with simulators and ends up on the water, all within an hour. They are both past “USWA windsurfer of the year” and are willing to help out with questions on our forums :

Leveraging his ad agency experience from working on global accounts, Sander is a new addition behind the scenes. He has a unique background coming from two strong sailing nations, each with their own share of windsurfing greats – New Zealand and Holland. His passion ensures the Starboard marketing and communi-cation remains fresh, unique and relevant, while pushing new inroads to share our sport with a larger audience. An avid windsurfer, he’s loving his new SUP. A quick spin round the wakeboard park and a paddle during lunch is now a standard part of his daily routine.

Ian FoxMichael Nakvachara is getting back into shape. His life time membership at Tony’s Gym and renewed interest in technology and development has lured him back to help preside over the main test centers activities in Naklua, Bay of Siam. It takes a sensitive foot mixed with technical understanding to be able to provide accurate feedback and suggest the next step. At times Michael is testing up to 20 shapes to find one that is just that little bit better than the rest, which is indeed Michael’s strength.

All fittings on all our boards work with the same screwdriver size. Simple.
Slick Strap II Comfortable, quick and easy to adjust, lightweight and firm. The Slick Strap II features a unique top flap-design that naturally holds itself down and improved shaping. Extra thick, ultra low density 10mm internal padding keeps the weight down at 120g.
Fish scale pad groovings Grips in the right direction, releases in the other: the unidirectional Fish Scale pad groovings provide positive grip when you are pushing against the board and allows your feet to release out of the straps naturally when jibing.
K9 insert system The K9 anti-twist system helps prevent the straps from twisting via a male plug sandwiched between the strap and the board. 4 canine teeth sink into the strap on one side, a male insert fits into a recess inside the board on the other side, creating a mechanical anti-twist effect.
Oval tuttle box recess Larger oval-shaped fin bolt recesses allow fin bolts to be accessed with your fingers, even on the deepest boxes.
Ultralight strap Near-zero water absorption, ultra light (60g). Available in three sizes: standard, 30cm long and 40cm long.
Race Strap II Low-density 10mm internal padding for added comfort and reduced water absorption. Extra-lightweight (90g).
Mast Track Security Pin The integrated mast track security pin allows the owner to lock the board or to attach a security line between the rig and board, in case the universal joint fails.

TECHNOLOGY:DURABILITY, RELIABILITY, ACCURACY
Starboard’s Technora Technology offers a very lightweight, stiff, and crisp riding board at a more affordable price than Wood Tech. Technora is a special type of high tenacity Aramid fiber with remarkably high tensile strength properties, where the molecular structure is comprised of linked benzene rings and amide bonds. Aramid fibers are well known for their strength, toughness, and impact-resistant qualities. Used in the most solicited areas of the board, Technora reinforcements strengthen the skin, nose, and heel areas against breakage, impact dings, and cracks.
Technora: co-poly-(paraphenylene/3,4'-oxydiphenylene terephthalamide)
All Technora boards are built with a cross-linked PVC sandwich skin and a 14g/l EPS internal core for exceptional stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio. Side sections of the rails and exposed nose areas are also reinforced with Kevlar and/or a Kevlar Technora weave. Additional 0.6mm Australian Pine Wood reinforcements are also used under the heels.
DURABILITY: Since 1998, Starboard has brought new technology standards to windsurfing and continuously improved the construction, accuracy, and craftsmanship details year after year. A decade later, Starboard’s construction standards continue to set new reliability records.
Wave boards take the most abuse of any boards, so building them strong and light challenges any manufacturer. As a result, Starboard has developed the Dur-X standard for wave boards over the last 7 years. This super reliable construction used for all Starboard wave boards boasts an unbelievably low 1.03% warranty rate.
What makes it so reliable?
Since 1999 the construction has been continuously refined with a number of unique developments that have set this new standard. By reinforcing heel stress points and re-engineering load distribution, we have reduced board stress and minimized premature failure. First, we covered the foot strap inserts with oversized heel reinforcements angled at 45 degrees to spread the load distribution more efficiently. We then extended the rail reinforce-ments that cover the back half of the board to reduce the point-load created by the rider’s heels. And after redesigning our double-sandwich transition points from a U-shaped curve to a W-shaped curve, we introduced unique mold marking methods to guarantee super-accurate positioning of all reinforcement panels. Finally, we added heel bumpers for added comfort and even greater reduction of point load. Truly, a whole wave board greater than the sum of its parts, the Dur-X label is the mark of wave board reliability.
Looking at other reliability records of other boards in the range, the rates fall to virtually zero:
Freeride: 0.16%Slalom: 0.36%Crossover: 0.4%Entry level: 0.05%Progressive: 0.6%
ACCURACY: for 2008, Starboard has taken accuracy to greater levels. For the Wood and Technora models, manufacturing tolerances are exacted to ensure that what you ride is what we designed – down to the nearest micro-measurement. Precise rockerlines, rails shapes, and vee have been our obsession for the past year.
Tufskin is used for boards where a blend of maximum value and maximum toughness is needed. Since its introduction in 2004, it has grown to become a popular technology option for Starboard models worldwide. Tufskin technology uses layers of 3-dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system. This expanding resin creates volume within the skin as it cures under hydraulically-applied mould pressure, forming a thick, stiff, and durable sandwiched laminate. The fine plastic skin that wraps the entire board adds scratch and impact resistance. Seamless rail finish and sharp release edges add to the value, quality, and performance of Tufskin Technology.
The advantage of Wood over Carbon fibers and conventional fibers:at 0.6mm, the wood sheet is thicker than a carbon laminate or other fiber laminates, giving it far greater compression resistance and resistance to buckling: the board will be rigid and strong. Carbon or glass fibers are especially poor in compression, and most of the board’s bottom area is subjected to compressive loads. In terms of structural integrity, a Wood Technology board holds it shape better while sailing. “The material is very rigid, but very pleasant to sail since we have the impression that vibrations are absorbed without any deformations in the board” Wind magazine, France.
This thicker sheet combined with the natural toughness of wood means that the impact resistance is greater. Carbon laminates are notorious for being extremely brittle and fragile against impacts. Being naturally uni-directional and naturally saturated in resin, Wood is especially efficient and low in excess epoxy resin absorption, therefore giving it the advantage in weight-to-strength and impact-resistance ratio.
Starboard’s flagship technology: Integrating a sheet of 0.6mm Australian pine wood to the bottom and deck of windsurfing boards has been a Starboard trademark since 1995. First developed by Jean Louis Colmas in 1984 in New Caledonia, Wood Technology was applied to custom mass-manufacturing by Starboard in 1995. These first Wood Technology boards weighed in at 1 kilo under the best boards of the time, yet with superior impact resistance, superior structural integrity, and unique rigidity and flex characteristics. Following their introduction, American Windsurfer magazine said, “The most impressive construction we saw was the wood veneer found on some of the Starboards. According to our weight and ding tests, Starboard managed to marry low-weight – as low as any boards its size – with ding resistance almost comparable to that of boards with thermoformed skins.” Today, a decade later, virtually every board brand applies the advantages of wood, but Starboard remains the brand unique to harnessing the craftsmanship of the full wood construction with a full wood-look deck.
TUTTLE BOXThe advantages of Tuttle box• Generally rated as the strongest and most reliable system – that’s why all slalom boards use them.• 2 bolts are used for a more secure fitting• Slalom and Racing fins are generally only available in Tuttle• A deep Tuttle fin box fits both Deep-Tuttle and Tuttle based fins – this is great for boards like the Serenity, the GO or the Starts for example: you sometimes switch from a small fin to a very long fin.
CLIPPERBOX IIISandproof, super smooth and effortless. The Clipperbox uses two nylon side-plates fitted with clips. One pair of clips holds the daggerboard up, the other pair of clips hold the daggerboard down. The new Mark III version of the Clipperbox has been upgraded with 2 new features: a new moulded deck plate that locks the side-plates in securely and a new uni-directional back-plated rubber lips system. This system totally prevents any water from gushing through the daggerboard case when the daggerboard is retracted. For the first time, you can feel the efficiency of a non-daggerboard board in a board with a daggerboard system
“It’s considerably easier to operate than any other board in the test.” Boards magazine UK, July 2006

The Pure Acids are the aggressive wave boards for riders who want speed, power and drive. They are rated as the fastest and the best waveboard for the front-foot driven rider by German Surf. They mix aggression and speed with a natural carving instinct using a wave shape that integrates a fast rockerline and the spiraling vee concept. Pin-point precision, a sharp, direct and engaging ride is what the Pure Acid delivers. Big waves, onshore, sideshore - the Pure Acids perform in a wide variety of conditions when the wind gets howling. No waves? The Pure Acids’ speed and maneuverability mix make it the ideal highwind crossover board: “Absolutely recommended as a highwind freerider and small freestyler.” German Surf, January 2007.
Wind magazine awarded the Pure Acid 74 the TOP CHOICE label in its March 2007 test: “You get an excellent grip, lots of stability and balance in the bottom-turn. Rail-to-rail is instantaneous with complete fluidity, it's a machine to make cut-backs that carves well and throws lots of spray. In side offshore conditions, it's a down-the-line jet. More accessible than the Goya, Quatro, JP and RRD. Better in side onshore than the others yet an amazing surfing potential in perfect conditions.
+ Early planing, fluidity in the surf, versatility, radicality/accessibility ratio”

Kombat 79 Kombat 89 Kombat 96 Kombat 105 Kombat 114 Kombat 122
The Kombats are cross-over boards designed as one-board-solutions for wave rides, trick styles and fast rides. With six models ranging from 79 to 122 litres, the Kombats cover the widest spectrum of wind range for crossover sailors of all shapes and sizes. Evolved over four generations of refinements they’ve come to offer a blend that has won many acclaims and excelled in many magazine tests worldwide – particularly as maneuverability and waveriding orientated crossover boards. The new 2008 Kombats have been totally remastered to preserve their maneuverability and improve on early-planing, top-end speed and freestyle performance with a sharper and more aggressive riding sensation.
What’s new?
Early planing and speed: new rockerlines with less curvature in the front half of the board and new outlines that are wider in the tail section make for earlier planing, greater control and a faster ride.
Reduced thickness: the Kombat 96, 105, 114 and 122 are thinner, improving the boards’ responsiveness and highwind control with a new razor-sharp riding sensation.
Freestyle: the new rockerlines with less curvature in the nose improve the Kombats’ ability to spin off the front half of the board and slide backwards without losing as much speed.
More aggressive: the new rail shapes on all Kombats are derived from the Pure Acids with a sharper edge and greater release – early planing and speed is improved with a sharper bite in the jibes.
The unique spiraling vee bottom shape introduced last year continues for 2008. This spiraling vee concept is the secret behind the Kombat’s powerful maneuverability as the forward vee engages the rail to drive the board into the turn – like a car’s front steering wheels. Reduced vee under your feet gives a high free ride and extra vee-kick in the very tail then brings an extra edge of control and fluidity to cut-backs and back-foot driven jibes.
The Kombat 114 and 122 also have new tail cutaways that sharpen the fin drive sensation. These two models stand out in particular with their quantum leap improvement in performance – speed, early planing and overall fun factor – the difference here is really quite significant. Paul Simmons from Tushingham UK distributors came to Thailand for a preview test: “The new Kombat 122 and 114 are fast and exciting in a straight line yet press the rail and the boards turn with supreme ease: loose enough to really rip in the waves! They're phenomenal crossover boards that truly do everything really well, with very little compromise!”
Summary:
• One-board crossover solutions for waveriding, freestyling and freeriding• Faster, sharper and earlier-planing shapes for 2008• Unique Spiraling Vee bottom design• Heel bumpers are standard across all models

Evo 62 Evo 70 Evo 75 Evo 80 Evo 90 Evo 100
The Evo XTVs are the evolutionary new-generation wave boards. Their introduction in 2003 has made them the stuff of legends, revolutionizing wave board designs with their ability to maximize wave-riding performance in the widest variety of wind and wave conditions. Suitable for everyone from the pros to the progressing wave-sailor, an Evo makes the most of every ride with its ability to maintain speed on the wave face, flow through tight turns and project big aerials off the lip. With the new models now ranging up to 100 litres, the 2008 Evos extends the world of pure-waveriding to cover a wider spectrum of windsurfers of different ages, sizes and skill levels around the world.
What’s new?
The Evo XTV 70 and 75 are all new shapes with wider tails and even more tail vee to push the balance between more radical performance and increased versatility. The Evo XTV 80, 90 and 62 continue unchanged for 2008 with designs that have extended the extreme end of performance without compromising all-round versatility.
The Evo XTV 100 is a new addition for 2008, developed with Antoine Albeau who’s a pretty big person at 97kg.
Summary:
• Evolutionary waveboards for maximum waveriding performance in the widest variety of wave conditions• Suitable for experts and progressing waveriders alike• New more radical and versatile 70 and 75 shapes• New XL 100 litre model• Dur-X construction and heel bumpers standard on all Wood and Technora models

“The groundbreaking Evo, the board that single-handedly revolutionized the modern waveboard market, leading to the new-generation boards.” Boards Magazine UK
“Starboard’s Evo pioneered the new-school compact wave shape, bringing big wave performance to onshore and smaller wave conditions. The new Evo XTV is the most wave-capable Evo to date. If you never shy away from a lip, no matter how thick it gets, then the Evo XTV is for you.” Windsport magazine USA
“The inevitable Evo, pioneer of the compact wave shape, is back with yet again some excellent fittings. We love the anti-twist system, the quick adjusting straps and also the grippy pads and heel bumpers. Once on the move, the Evo offers one of the best jumping performances in this test that allows for any trick, especially considering how easy it is to control in the air and how soft the landings are. It surfs very well off the back foot, smooth and without slowing down, and therefore makes it easy but for the technical riders, it will ride off the front foot. Tight turns combine effortlessly and the result can be highly radical.” Wind magazine France
“Last year we thought the Evo 83 was a cracking wave-riding board, but trying to recall its performance, we believe that this Evo XTV 80 has gone one step further. Carving fluid vertical turns, exploding off the lip for expressive aerials, the 80 was the complete package. Combining early planing with range, control and fantastic waveriding capabilities, the Evo 80 comes highly recommended by us” Windsurf magazine UK

Flare 88 Flare 99 Flare 111
The Flares are the fast-freestyle boards designed by our riders for our riders. Taty Frans, Kiri Thode, Frank Diaz and Sara Quita Offringa developed the range around the idea of mixing speed and freestyle for an explosive combination. Instant power, pin point control and aerial balance lets you fire up any trick with more speed, more style and more smiles.
What’s new?
The Flare 99 and 111 have a new wider, fatter tail design that pops you up on the plane, switching on acceleration and power at will. These new shapes will give you more tolerance and more float for longer slides and faster tail rides. There’s also a new constant-curve rocker that boosts aerial pop and improves maneuverability. The trademark heel gutters first introduced back in 2005 continue in 2008, increasing deck-dome to provide impeccable comfort and grip.
The Flare 60, 72 and 88 continue unchanged for 2008 with their slalom rockerline and slalom vee: these are the team’s weapon of choice for high wind conditions or lighter riders.

S-Type chassis, Carve suspension, iSonic engine - it’s the freeride of the future
After 9 years of leading freeride development, we bid farewell to the legendary Carve series. The S-Type range - a 4 year old development that has dominated the PWA Supercross in its final year – also comes to an end, to be replaced with a brand new generation of all new, all slim, all freeride boards engineered from the ground up with iSonic genes. It’s the freeride of the future - the new Futuras.
Combining the best of two freeride ranges in a package that offers it all - control, comfort, wind range, early planing and maximum top speed - was never going to be an easy task. With the experience gained from the development of the iSonics and the new concept of thinner shapes, the Futuras bring you just that.
Wind range: 15% slimmer shapes combined with wider widths and low-nose rockerlines boost the Futuras’ wind range at both ends: they plane up earlier and effortlessly in lightwinds and offer more control and comfort in highwinds.
Pure speed: the Futuras were benchmarked to beat the S-Types in speed. With concepts brought over from the development of the iSonics, the Futuras are faster with a sweet spot that covers a wider wind range.
Comfort: wider and thinner inherently means a more stable shape, before planing and when moving into the footstraps. The bottom line: it’s just easier and more comfortable to get going.
Ride, handling and control: with its lowered centre of gravity, the Futura rider experiences a razor-sharp riding sensation with impeccable control. It’s like switching from a truck-driving experience to that of a sports car.
Maneuverability: the team tested side by side two identical Futura 122 prototypes with identical rail shapes, identical bottom shapes and with only the thickness and the width changing: the wider and thinner Futuras respond quicker, faster and with more ease.
Upwind: Increased width makes the Futuras plane upwind with ease, which means more time spent riding free than trying to get back upwind to where you started from.
Summary: • Thinner wider shapes with iSonic genetics• S-Type speed, Carve comfort, iSonic range: impossible engineering made possible• A quiver of two fins is highly recommended to bring out the best of the board

The GO boards are the original all-rounders that offer the blend of performance, fun, comfort and value that have marked the modern era of windsurfing history. Having pioneered the widestyle revolution, the GO boards have become the World’s most popular boards and the benchmark design for the progressive freerider. The 2008 edition continues the GO legacy with an extended range of six new super-slim models that raises the bar once more.
The new range starts from 122 litres and goes up to 177 litres, offering a high performance, comfortable and affordable freeride option to more windsurfers of different skill levels and different sizes.
The GO 122, 133, 144 and 155 share the same shapes as the Futura models. In the quest for more performance across a wider wind range, the Futura brought with them the advent of the thinner-wider shape concept. The widths have become as wide as that of the GOs. So with high-performance and easy-stability meeting in terms of design, it was natural for the GO and the Futura shapes to merge. The two larger sizes (166 and 177) are GO-specific, designed especially for extra stability, ease and lightwind performance with widths that extend beyond 85cm. The GO 177 also features heel gutters that allows footstraps to be positioned further inboard.
In summary, the new GO boards’ combination of extra-thin profiles, wide widths and iSonic engineer-ing create a unique package that offers it all - control, comfort, wind range, early planing, smooth jibing and maximum top speed: sheer performance never seen before with boards that are so easy.
Size-specific details:
The GO 144, 155, 166 and 177 offer strap positions for the beginner, intermediate and expert sailor, with convenient carry handles in the centre.
The GO 122 and 133 offer strap options for the intermediate and advanced rider only.
The GO 155, 166 and 177 have an additional Drake Shallow 410 FRN supplied.
The GO 166 and 177 offers side-fin options.

The iSonics are back, faster, leaner and more efficient than ever before.
After dominating last season’s PWA Slalom 42 tour and currently leading this year’s season, the iSonic boards have proven themselves as the pacesetters of modern slalom design. No Starboard development program has been as challenging to the development team as improving on the 2007 models – we’ve made more than 60 different prototype designs to come up with the goods and have verified them in the widest variety of conditions, as found across Australia, Hawaii, Martinique, Thailand and Vietnam. To top it all off, we’ve been testing the boards to ensure they work with racers of all abilities and weights, from heavyweight world champions to recreational lightweight riders. Comfortable, easy, extremely efficient and with pacesetting performance at the highest level - this is what the iSonics are all about.
Evolutions of the high-wind models (76, 86, 96)
• The 2007 iSonics had wide tails, the 2008 iSonic 86 and 96 have even wider tails. With this new wider tail outline, efficiency steps up another gear to provide more speed and more control. With a wider tail comes also more power, quicker acceleration and higher upwind speed: it’s easier to overtake to windward and to recover your line after overtaking to leeward.• The iSonic 76 is an all new highwind special model, the smallest slalom board of the range. Like the 86 and 96, the iSonic 76 is quite narrow but the wide-tail concept gives it a wider wind range with a more powerful bottom end and better highwind control. • Thinner: the profiles of the iSonic highwind models have been thinned down for improved control and razor-sharp responsiveness. The deck area from the front straps forward has been scooped out further on the 86 model for an extra-low centre of gravity.
Evolutions of the medium-to-lightwind models (101, 111, 122, 133, 144)
• The 2008 iSonic 101, 111, 122 have evolved with a new variant of the wide tail concept: the planing surface is made wider again to provide the efficiency gain but the outline is then pinched back in just ahead of your back foot to ensure that the back-foot power is not overwhelming. This new concept has brought a higher top speed along with quicker acceleration and a more balanced trim.• Improved jibing: the new tail outline has also improved jibing in two respects: the acceleration out of the jibe is quicker and the turning response itself is faster.• Improved control: with reduced profile-thickness and an exaggerated deck concave, the boards’ centre of gravity is lowered for a sharper reaction to rider input and improved control.• The iSonic 133 W85 is an all new model designed for the ultimate in lightwind slalom performance following the PWA’s 2008 85cm width limit. Featuring the same new design cues as the 101, 111 and 122, the 133 W85 also boasts a new “Dual Flat Bottom Concept” that boosts the board’s lightwind performance. The “Dual Flat Concept” describes a bottom shape that has two flat sections: one from 0-30cm, the second from 30-70cm. This concept allows these wider boards to glide and ride freer over the water, without any stickiness and without any loss of efficiency.• A new larger iSonic for heavier riders is currently under final development.
Introduced in 1997, the Sonic name is Starboard’s longest standing model range. They were the first production boards in the World to take advantage of Wood Technology. The Sonics’ 11 year history has seen the evolution of Slalom from the World Cup era, its decline as a discipline, led its resurrection with the HyperSonic before dominating the PWA Slalom 42 tour in 2006.

1. Choose your styleYour style of windsurfing is the first factor to help select your board. Select from the category list below:Entry level – If you have not windsurfed much before and are therefore looking for the easiest possible board to learn and progress on.All-Wind – If you’re looking for a board that is simply easy and fun in all wind conditionsProgressive – If you are looking for a stable and comfortable board to progress quickly to high performance sailing. Freeride – If you are looking for a high performance, high speed board with plug and play versatility, simply pure adrenalin rushing rides and the sweetest jibing performance. Freestyle – If you are looking for a board that is dedicated to spinning tricks with agility, quick accelerations and precise maneuverability.Wave Freestyle – If you are looking for the radical one-board solution to wave-ride and jump when the conditions are there, then spin tricks and have a blast in flat water conditions too. Slalom – If you are looking for uncompromised pro-standard slalom performance, in the search of ultimate speed.Formula – If you are looking for the ultimate upwind & downwind machine with huge power, speed and early planing capacity.Aggressive Wave – If you are looking for a wave board with a fast, hardcore and powerful style, also suitable for high wind freestyle-crossover.Evolution Wave – If you are looking for a more flowing wave-riding board with quicker response, more tweak-ability and an explosive attitude to aerials; all that in a package that is more versatile, easier and optimum for a wider range of conditions.Lightwind – If you are looking for a board designed for maximum efficiency and fun in light, non-planing winds, to windsurf in 2 knots of wind and up.
After selecting your style, the suitable board models will be available in a variety of sizes, defined in terms of the board’s volume. Of this variety, the correct volume will depend on your body weight and the wind strength at your local spot.
2. Selecting the right board volume
The volume is the single most defining physical characteristic of a windsurf board. Generally speaking, the higher the volume, the more stable and forgiving a board becomes, the lower the volume, the more responsive and more maneuverable it becomes. Lighter sailors therefore tend to choose the lower volume boards of a certain range, heavy sailors tend to choose the larger volumes in a certain range. 3. Fine-tuning your selection
After selecting your style of sailing and the right volume for you, you may be left with two or three models that are suitable. These models will differ in terms of their shape, their construction or their fittings - and this final step will come down to a personal choice. Turn to the product pages for more details on the individual models.

“No other company has had as great an influence on the gear we ride. Starboard practically invented the recreational widestyle and new school wave board. Once again, it pushes the envelope with its version of every new trend, and a few no one knew even existed.” Windsport Canada, issue 107
“Starboard is a brand that prides itself on innovation through design, never afraid to challenge convention or try bold new concepts. The company founded by Svein Rasmussen some 11 years ago is sometimes criticized by its competitors for going too far. Yet, few can fail to acknowledge the change that the company has pioneered in windsurfing over the last decade.” Winsurf UK, Jan/Feb issue 2006

World Champion & European Champion: Starboard’s Formula boards simply dominated the past season and the current season by taking the top places in all major events, including all top eleven places at the Worlds last year, then the Midwinters and the European Championships this year.
With the Formula Windsurfing rules freezing new models for a period of two years instead of one, the Starboard R&D team have worked double time to keep Starboard ahead for 2008 and 2009. Starting with the design of the F161 that already has a solid all-round performance in all wind conditions, the new F162 aims to simply bring an extra edge all round: more control and comfort in choppy, high wind conditions, more speed with deeper angles both upwind and downwind. With the ISAF Formula registration date set for September 30th 2007, the final developments of the new F162 will not be revealed until August 2007.
Project Apollo: With the new two year registration period, the Formula Windsufing class aims to grow stronger, more stable and more popular. Its goal is to become a fantastic candidate as the new 2012 Windsurfing Olympic class. Imagine Kevin Pritchard, Micah Buzianis, Antoine Albeau, Julien Quentel, Steve Allen and all of windsurfing’s greatest names battling it out for sport’s most prestigious medal. With this in mind, Starboard developped Project Apollo to offer a board fitting within the Formula Windsurfing rules yet virtually guarantees heats to take place even in light winds thanks to a super-low planing threshold.
The extremely wide tail works with the super-powerful 75cm fin and a longer, shallower rocker to get the board on to the plane as early as physically possible. With the new 2008 Apollo, the shape evolves to offer the same super-early planing but with more medium and highwind performance. The nose has been shortened and more volume has been pumped into the midsection.
Summary:
• New 2 year Formula Windsurfing registration period• Details of the new F162 will not be revealed until August 2007• Apollo: the World’s earliest planing board• Apollo: designed to help Formula Windsurfing become the 2012 Windsurfing Olympic class

“Indeed it is the earliest-planing shortboard in the world. One 180- pound tester logged numerous planing sessions on the Apollo with a 9.0-meter sail in wind conditions that never breached 10 mph.
TIME ON THE WATER - For many testers, the Apollo changed how they looked at wind in general. A few water ripples a tree swaying gently - no longer were such sights a tease. Instead, they were signs it was time to sail. Several testers remarked on how much gas money the Apollo saved by preventing them from being skunked. "I show and go," said one tester. "It's that simple."” Windsurfing USA, May 2007
Formula Experience equipment rules make racing more accessible. Boards need to be built in the more durable and more affordable construction and their shapes are frozen for a period of 4 years. Starboard offers 2 boards for this class: the Formula Experience 160 Tufskin and the ProKids Formula. They will remain class-legal until December 2009.
Formula Experience is the official Youth and Junior Class in many contries like Usa, France, Martinique, Spain, Peru, Brazil, Thailand, Germany, Belgium, etc. For more information, visit www.formula-experience.org

Learning to windsurf and planing in straps has never been easier. Starboard’s Starts have always been the benchmark entry level board ever since they were first introduced in 1999 thanks to their remarkably stable, easy-planing and feature packed designs. For 2008, the new longer Start M and L have evolved to offer more glide and more longitudinal stability, with a radical new deck design that makes it easier than ever to progress to planing.
Specially designed heel gutters in the back part of the board allow intermediate and advanced sailors to stand close to the board’s centre line, giving the rider full comfort, full grip and full control without having to learn to stand out on the rail of the board. The straps are positioned right there close to the center line, so the sailor conveniently steps into the center straps with the natural feeling of having a nicely curved rail under their feet.
The new Start boards plane up smoothly and quickly: they have a new super wide tail design derived from the shape of the Apollo – the World’s earliest planing board – to create lift efficiently and plane earlier. The oversized tail cut-away provides a surprisingly loose and nice planing sensation. For most windsurfers, addiction to the sport started when they first got into the footstraps and first started planing – by making planing more accessible than ever, these new 2008 Starts are dangerously addictive. The 2008 Starts also introduces a revolutionary colour coded deck concept that indicates both ideal foot positions and sail positions: for uphauling, for medium-power-zone and for more-power-zone.
The extra thick rail section in the middle of the board makes the 2008 Start the most easy board ever to learn on. The deck is totally flat in the area where entry level sailors will walk around the first hours onboard.
Other new features:
• The Clipperbox III features a new molded deck plate design that holds the side plates more securely. A new uni-directional back-plated rubber lips system totally prevents any water from gushing through the daggerboard case when the daggerboard is retracted and board gets planing. For the first time, you can feel the efficiency of a non-daggerboard board in a board with a daggerboard system. • The new Clipperbox daggerboard 570 has been redesigned to offer a stronger handle fitting and a daggerboard angle with slightly backwards tilt. This gives a more forgiving and directional ride. Moulded in a more flexible plastic with reduced fibre content, the new daggerboard is lighter and provides more lift making the board livelier upwind. • New integrated nose protector for a cool look.
Summary:
• The reference entry level board • New deck design makes it easier than ever to get into the footstraps and enjoyable to sail standing in the middle of the board• New colour coded deck makes it easier to learn or teach windsurfing basics • New super-wide tail design gets you planing easier and earlier yet a free feeling is maintained with the board’s oversized cut-aways. • Longer nose with a lower rocker gives more longitundinal stability and more glide in light winds• New Clipperbox III • New cool integrated nose protector

The Rio is simply about windsurfing as Jim Drake intended it to be: everyone, everywhere and everytime.
The new shapes have evolved to offer the joys of pure freeriding to all, from beginners and progressing windsurfers to families and advanced riders, everytime: whether there’s wind or just a light breeze, the new Rios offer more glide in the light stuff and a smoother transition on to the plane as it gets windier.
For advanced riders, the longer, narrower shape combined with the inboard heel-recesses and more flexible daggerboard allows the board to power upwind off the leeward rail. When planing, the wide tail with large cutaways and tail side-cuts deliver a powerful and exciting ride.
For intermediate and progressing windsurfers, the security of the daggerboard gives the confidence to go out without worrying about drifting. The radical deck
design with its heel gutters and inboard-only footstrap settings make it easier than ever to get into the footstraps for the first time.
For beginners, the Rios pack plenty of rail volume around the midsection for optimum stability. The longer shape with a lower rocker offers a smooth gliding sensation straight from the start.
The full EVA deck – an orginal Starboard innovation - brings total comfort. Built in Tufskin for maximum durability, a new integrated nose protector provides further protection against mast impacts.
The Rios’ Clipperbox III daggerboard system comes with newly developped uni-directional back-plated lips that totally prevents any water from gushing through the daggerboard case when the daggerboard is retracted and board gets planing. For the first time, you can feel the efficiency of a non-daggerboard hull in a board with a daggerboard system.
Summary:
• The All-Wind windsurfer • Radical new deck design makes it more exciting, more comfortable to ride inboard and easier to rail upwind. It’s also easier than ever to get into the straps and get planing• Narrower, slender shapes give more glide for beginners and more upwind railing power for advanced riders• Extra-wide tails provide early-planing power• New Clipperbox III• New integrated nose protector• Longer nose with a lower rocker gives more longitundinal stability and more glide in light winds

The Serenity is a pure lightwind board, re-igniting the lost world of lightwind windsurfing. Silky smooth as it cuts through water in total silence, the Serenity takes you to a new windsurfing dimension where you escape to a serene world of light wind and calm water.
The Serenity’s long slender shape offers the thrills of speed and performance from just 2 knots of wind, challenging the best of the old Division II boards of the past. Tracking off its powerful centre fin, the Serenity will rail up in the lightest gusts and rewards the racier rider with a fast and ghostly efficient ride.
The unique design based on a kayak hull allows the board to work with just one fin – no daggerboard, no tail fin and no adjustable mast track means that the board is simple. And simple means that the board can be built lighter; more people will find Serenity windsurfing more accessible. There are no adjustments to make – just get on and go.
Summary:
• Pure lightwind windsurf board• Designed around simplicity principles: no daggerboard, no tail fin, no adjustable mast track: just get on and go• Super efficient design offers the highest levels of lightwind racing performance.

"I love this board. The Serenity aims at ultra-light winds and cruising, and puts a modern spin on the simple elegance that helped windsurfing boom decades ago. It doesn't require a jumbo sail. It doesn't require pro-level skills to enjoy. Best of all, it doesn't require real wind for an exhilarating ride. Simply hop on, sheet in and go. In this regard, the Serenity succeeds, and succeeds in a big way." Eddy Patricelli, editor of WindSurfing magazine USA.
"I had doubts - the theory behind the idea was very compelling, but just how much fun could windsurfing in 5 knots be for an experienced sailor? In only five knots, I was hooked in, leaning against the sail and grinning from ear to ear - something I thought I'd never experience in windsurfing. What Serenity does is offer a whole new dimension. A new and exciting light wind alternative to windsurfing has arrived - windsurfing!" Windsurf magazine UK

The Phantom Race 380 is Starboard’s uncompromised raceboard measuring 380cm by 70cm. Its design brief was simple: to become the new benchmark for the Raceboard Class. Designed, developed and tested by Remi Vila, Julien Quentel and Per Andersson, the Phantom Race 380 takes advantage of the latest Raceboard Class rules with its 70cm extra-wide width powered by an 85cm daggerboard.
Three key developments give this board its cutting edge:
• The wider width gets the board planing earlier, even with the daggerboard out, and enables the board to reach deeper downwind angles.• The extra-long 85cm daggerboard provides more drive and power, enabling the board to rail up earlier.• The extra-long mast track features a 75cm adjustment range that extends further forward, allowing the rider to maximize the waterline, maximize the power of larger rigs and close the gap between the sail and the deck more effectively.
The Phantom Race 380 comes with eight Ultralight footstraps with complete reaching and upwind insert positions. The mast track pedal can be activated with the daggerboard head.
Phantom Race 320
The new Phantom Race 320 is the board that links progressive lightwind windsurfing to lightwind racing performance. Measuring 320cm by 71cm and powered by a 70cm daggerboard, the Phantom Race 320 is also a board designed to fit inside the Raceboard Class Hybrid category.
This makes it the ideal board for all-wind weekend windsurfing: whether freeriding, racing in planing or non-planing conditions, the Phantom Race 320 offers you a fast gliding sensation from just 2 or 3 knots of wind.
In stronger winds, the Phantom Race 320 planes up to give a fast, free ride with the feel of a much smaller board. With its 70cm daggerboard down, the board drives upwind and reveals its power and racing potential.
It’s the perfect board for windsurfers looking for a board that will be fast and fun in any wind, any time.

DUAL CONCEPT
“Windsurfing was first conceived as a family sport, and therein lies it’s future.” Windsurfing Magazine US, interview with the Schweitzer family, February/March 2007.
Mix a wide, compact, thin and high-performance shape with a full EVA deck, entry level insert positions, a centre-finbox and you get two boards in one: it’s a stable, light and comfortable kids’ board for learning and progressing on one hand, and a fast, maneuverable board with a wide wind range for adults on the other. The Kombat Tufskin is built in Tufskin technology for durability and value.
What’s new?
The Kombat Tufskins’ all new shapes are extra wide and especially slim, planing up early and easily with a smooth and stable jibe ideal for the kids’ first carves. Power the board up with a full size sail and the boards transform to deliver a powerful, fast, maneuverable and exciting freeride performance across a wide wind range.
3 fins are supplied to compliment the Kombat Tufskins’ dual purpose:
Kids’ entry level settings:Fit the two supplied plastic Shallow Fins and place the footstrap in the entry level positions.
Kids’ progressing settings: Fit the Freeride fin in the tail only and place the footstrap in the intermediate positions. The centre finbox can be closed off with the supplied finbase.
Kids’ or adults’ performance settings:Fit the freeride fin in the tail only, place the footstraps in the advanced settings. The centre finbox can be closed off with the supplied finbase.
The Kombat Tufskins’ shape is shared with the new Kombat 114 and 122:
• Improved early-planing and top-end speed with a sharper and more aggressive riding sensation • Spiraling Vee concept enhances front foot jibing by engaging the rail forward rails into the turn – like the front steering wheels of a car.
• Reduced Vee under your feet gives a high free ride and extra vee-kick in the very tail then brings an extra edge of control and fluidity to back-foot driven jibes.• New tail cutaways that sharpen the fin drive sensation.
Summary:
• Dual concept for both adults and kids• Wide and slim concept gives more stability and comfort yet more performance in a compact package.• Wide wind range with fast, fun and maneuverable performance for adults.• Same shapes as the Kombat 114 and 122 models.• 3 fins are supplied with the boards

The Gemini is the World’s first and only widestyle tandem board.
Amongst the most popular models of 2007, the Gemini has brought more shared laughter, teamwork, excitement and fun than any other, introducing with it a new world of tandem windsurfing made easy and more social.
The key behind its concept is the 1m wide width. The width makes the Gemini stable, easy and plane up early with incredibly high levels of performance for those who can tap into its full potential. With the ability to carry sails of all sizes, the Gemini can either be a fast and powerful tandem for advanced windsurfers
looking to break records (currently set at 29.7 Knots) - or a super stable platform to teachbeginners and get them to experience the thrill ofplaning from the get go. This is the ride if romance is in the air. As a solo board, it is simply the most stable board you can ever find.
Insert and mast track tuning options cater for tandem performance sailing, tandem coaching or solo sailing.
It’s a must for every school, centre and resort.
What’s new?
The 2008 Gemini incorporates the new Clipperbox III
daggerboard system that features back-plated rubber rubber lips prevent water from passing through the daggerboard box to maximize speed and acceleration.
Summary: • The World’s first widestyle tandem board: 101cm wide• Stable and easy – ideal for coaching• Fast and powerful – ideal for record tandem speeds• 3 mast tracks – middle track is ideal for solo sailing• It’s the most fun you’ll ever have

ACCESSORIES
1. Start Leash: The leash fits on to the Start, Rio and Kombat Tufskins that have a leash loop attachment fitting on the bottom. The attachment point is situated in the middle of the board for a neutral reaction (a leash attached to the tail of the board creates tail-biased drag). The Start leash features lead weights to sink the rope around the board, preventing the leash from getting tangled up with the fins. An elastic bungy gives room for the board to slow down gradually to a stop. 2. Windsocks 3. Flags 4. Beach Flag 5. Mast base for adjustable mast tracks 6. Zero alloy extension base 7. Standard mast base: Includes a North pin / push pin adaptor 8. North pin /push pin adaptor 9. 50cm alloy extension base 10. Safety Washer 11. Fin bag: Race: stores up to 10x 70cm fins. Slalom: stores up to 10x 50cm fins. 12. Accessory Bag 13. HD mast impact protectors: Triple layer construction: top plastic structure spreads the load, high density EVA beneath it disperses energy and the soft low density EVA underneath absorbs the load. The soft construction allows the HD nose protector to fit a variety of nose shapes. For a board compatibility chart, please refer to our website www.star-board.com. 14. Tiki Tool: Wide, rubberized moulded handle for maximum torque and grip, even with wet hands. Compatible with all Starboard board fittings: straps, air-valve, fin bolts and daggerboard plates. 15.
