LIVE THE TIKI LIFE EXPERIMENT. Over the last 14 years Starboard has brought home 13 PWA Constructors’ titles and helped set the trend in all things windsurfing, including the Olympic Games. We also have produced more windsurfing boards than anyone else, therefore polluted our planet significantly. We wanted to turn negatives into positives and started our experiment by introducing Internal Climate and Plastic Taxes. We invested into the WIF Heyerdahl Blue Carbon Climate Park, planted ½ million mangrove trees making each board 10x Climate Positive. The iQFoil board is 100x Climate Positive, intending to set a trend in the Olympic movement towards Paris. Each year some 8.5 million tons of plastics make it into the Ocean and with a population of 7.8 Billion, that is some 1.1 kg per person. So for every board we sell, our P.O.P (Plastic Offset Program) picks up 1.1 kg of beach/ocean plastic around our test area in Chonburi, Thailand. We like to search for simple solutions to our planet’s major challenges and just like making better boards for windsurfing, we also want to create a better brand for the planet. Live the Tiki life and join us on an experimental journey, both for windsurfing and for our planet. SIZE MATTERS

indsurfing was launched in 1967 by Jim Drake and Hoyle Schweitzer, their innovation and drive has inspired us ever since. In 1984 our sport was included in the LA Olympic games and in 2024 it returns to LA, this time with our iQFoil program, inspiring us to keep carrying the torch of ultimate sportsmanship, craftmanship and planet stewardship. Starboard started its operation in a factory’s smoking room, not unlike many other ambitious companies and we still visit that factory every week for quality control checks. We are the grassroots underdog that gained the trust of the masses and kept on...

e plant 1 and we remove 1.1: for every board that we produce, we plant 1 mangrove tree to absorb the emissions of your board ten times over, and we remove 1.1 kg of plastic waste from the beaches and oceans. 1.1kg is the average amount of plastic trash that reaches the oceans each one of us is accountable for, every single year. We are more about action, less about talking about what should be done. In 2020 this action puts us in a place where we now have half a million mangrove trees planted in the Thor Heyerdahl Climate Park. Our Plastic Offset Program clean up crew have collected 83,000 kg...

Mangroves The miracle tree's that help us offset our carbon footprint and become climate positive Words Tasmin Chilcot lanet earth has been given an opportunity to take a breather, some time out to recover from the human bruises to its life.

Enabling a short chance for our planet to heal. However, the atmospheric levels of CO2 have risen sharply despite lockdown measures. Solidifying our need to all take...
