WINDSURFING IN UNDER 60 MINUTES
Using the Starboard Start

Starboard Start

The most innovative board since windsurfing began, the Starboard Start is set to change the way people think of windsurfing. This is the perfect all-round recreational board. It's perfect for learing, and yet it's based on the Starboard Formula, the board that has just turned the racing world on it's head. Short and wide means early planing, more performance in lighter winds, racing success and ease of use. This has been put to devastating effect, winning almost all the production board races in 2000 and leading the industry towards a shorter, wider future. In the last 5 years the Starboard company has grown into the 4th largest windsurfing board producer in the world.
Why is the Start so good?
Well, first of all it's based on the most successful race-board ever, so you're not going to get bored once you've got the hang of windsurfing. What's more, you'll get the hang of windsurfing faster than ever before, because this board is super stable and super easy to use. It's even supplied with a comprehensive manual and a short video to teach you how to get started. You can teach yourself in just a few hours. When the Start was being developed it was put into a typical school with a mixed ability group of people who had never sailed or windsurfed in their lives. After a basic, short instructional session, the best student was windsurfing in just 5 minutes and, most importantly, the worst student was sailing backwards and forwards, turning around and getting back to the beach under his own steam in just 2 hours!

Starboard Start

Racebred shape makes the Smart sail easily and with the minimum of fuss. Short and wide size makes this board into a super stable platform.

All over EVA rubber deck gives good grip for security and cuts out the scratching and hard feel of traditional non-slip, particularly when sailing in a swimsuit.

Removable, rounded central fin makes learning easier in lighter winds.

Shorter (40cm) specially shaped main fin allows for sailing in shallower water.

Multiple footstrap positions allow for the best position for learning, recreation, learning harness technique and eventually racing. In fact, the totally new learning technique developed by Starboard for this board encourages you to use the footstraps from day one. It makes learning easier by making you stand in the correct position and cuts out frustration later, as you progress onto more advanced techniques.

The construction is of the highest quality and combines strength and durability with the lightweight necessary for good performance.

There are many other features that contribute to this boards unique combination of performance, durability, and ease of use, which flow from Starboards experience of making some of the finest boards in the world. A personal inspection is highly recommended in order to fully appreciate what this board has to offer.
