The Future of innovation quality OUR TEAM AND PARTNERS SHARE A VISION FOR CREATING A BETTER FUTURE. WE ARE PROUD TO WORK WITH THE MOST ENGAGED CREW AND LOOK FORWARD TO ENJOYING THE OCEANS WHILE PROTECTING THEM. Congratulations to all our world champions and team riders winning events the world over. They ride production boards made from plant based resin, indicating the future of innovation quality. So Starboard is now raising to the challenge of protecting our oceans in the only way we know, with innovation and quality. Besides introducing plant based resin in all boards, other than AST...

Why make the lightest boards? Why introduce a board that glides on to the plane seamlessly? Why invent planing inflatable windsurf boards? The Starboard design team innovated with wide boards, then short boards and finally slim boards for wider and wider wind ranges. Why? Why create the modern slalom board, the compact wave board or the ProKids boards? And then why take these off-the-shelf Starboards to win more constructors' championships than other windsurfing brands combined? To Make Windsurfing Better, I thought to myself. That would be a worthwhile career. Today, just as I thought that...

The simplified Starboard technology offering for 2017 wave, freestyle, freeride and racing boards. 3DX | The tough construction. The only tech in its segment to offer a biaxial-glass 3D composite for a crisper and stiffer sensation on the water. Technora | The high performance construction. Full PVC sandwich deck and bottom with biaxial glass and Technora reinforcements for a combination of lightweight, strength and stiffness. UltraCore Carbon | Our top-end Carbon construction that combines Starboard’s innovative UltraCore sandwich for the lightest weight with Carbon-Innegra perimeter rail...

UltraCore is Starboard's proprietary sandwich core material that's 30% stronger, 40% stiffer and 10% lighter than conventional PVC sandwich cores. With these mechanical properties and because UltraCore absorbs less resin, we can build boards up to 1.2kg lighter than our 2016 models by reducing fibre weight and resin consumption.
