2005 Catalog - the Worlds largest windsurfing company
Half way to China 08.
Starboard’s challenge is to help create a popular Olympic
windsurfing class for the largest possible participation. Jim Drake
has been at the forefront of the Z Class project, with meetings
inside ISAF, visits to evaluation events and presentations of
carefully thought out class rules.
We hope to see Z class boards from all brands compete as early
as the Siam cup 04 and further in Olympic trials, but more
importantly in all the thousands of local races before the 08
games. The Formula Experience class can become the
inexpensive Olympic feeder class recruiting young sailors for
Olympic windsurfing.
Z class boards are early planing hulls very close to Formula
designs. An extended and sharpened front area produces a
longer waterline, which in collaboration with a centerboard and
mast track, makes for brilliant tactical non planing light-wind
sailing. Once the wind comes up the track moves back, the
centerboard retracts and the bow lifts out of the water providing
a full-on Formula windsurfing feel.
Thousands of sailing and yacht clubs around the world will finally
find it interesting to facilitate for a popular style of windsurfing,
suiting their Olympic sailing programs.
The class concept allows several similar but different shapes to
fit within a tight “design box”. The Z class invites different
manufacturers to register their own class-legal equipment for an
Olympic cycle, providing versatility, freedom of choice, better
support, service, availability and increased participation.
Since the very first time the sport took part in the Games in Los
Angeles 1984, the One Design concept has kept stalling Olympic
windsurfing.
Today no “one design” class is active anymore, only the Olympic
class which artificially survives on Olympic funding. Just like a
skier chooses his ski for the games, a windsurfer should be able
to select a registered class board.
It’s time to bring windsurfing to the next level.

The next generation of boards and sailors are here to take windsurfing
to the next level.
Seeing 6 year old Joergen and 9 year old Connor blasting around inspired
us to develop a whole new generation of boards scaled to their size. The
Pro Kids range is the coolest program we have ever been involved in,
adding a whole new face to windsurfing.
Promoting the prospects of a whole new Olympic windsurfing class is a
challenge Starboard has been at the forefront of during the last 18
months. A new style of super early planing boards which works well also in
non planing conditions were the product brief for our Z-Class boards. We
look forward towards China 2008, and especially the thousands of races
to be held before then, including the Formula Experience class events that
hopefully will become the future recruitment events.
The Kombat is our new blend. A “curved to fit” multipurpose vehicle
combining the best of our Freeride and Evo lines, into a no fear, no bull,
cross over fun and fly package.
Fast and furious S-types are on the way to bring a whole new sporty feel
to freeriding, while instead of waiting the F-type transforms non sailing
days into a full planing adrenaline fix.
The Express, the world’s only modern center fin board, built with a light
sandwich construction. Potentially the most popular board concept today.
The new Starsurfer is a favorite. A great toy for kids and parents alike.
Svein started windsurfing in 1978 and won the Mistral Worlds in 1983. He
was a gold medallist candidate for the 1984 Olympics and spent 10 years on
the PWA pro circuit. In 1991 he became the first sailor to win all disciplines in
the IFCA Production-board Class Worlds.
Svein Rasmussen
President, Starboard International
Most Starboard master boards are tested by Svein before they get verified for
production. Svein is as the sole owner of the brand he founded in 1994, still
involved in overlooking every step of the Starboard concept from shaping to
shipping.
We have further developed all ranges by building and testing more
prototype boards and fittings than ever before. Our services are growing
and thanks to all the outstanding personalities that support Starboard, we
are ready to continue taking windsurfing to the next level.
Svein in Maui, April 2004

The entry level Start boards have gone to a new level by combining
maximum balance with super early planing, providing true thrills from the
very first time on board.

Jim Drake
Our very good friend Jim Drake jets around the world
to help ISAF develop a new Olympic windsurfing class. A
great step forward for windsurfing enthusiasts, and a
political minefield for Jim. Here we have a man, the
inventor of our sport, spending his time ensuring that
windsurfing reaches its true potential. Jim is interested in
any challenge, as he believes that virtually anything is
possible with the right dedication.
He is still holds the world speed record for an aircraft
since 1967, and knowing how far technology has
advanced since then, we can only guess how far ahead
Jim was of his time, and how far ahead he is of the
present time. Normally Jim will conclude a conversation
reassuring us that his “predictions” normally will be quite
easy to spot in 30 years and then I see how disappointed
he is for the world that has to wait so long to conclude.
We wish we all could open our eyes and get a glimpse of
what Jim sees next.
Eric Girard
Eric Girard is breaking news, making
documentaries sailing with whales in New
Foundland, creating windsurfing events in
Canada, a role model for Oreal products,
and helping windsurfing make headlines
around the world.
Eric is an ambassador for both Windsurfing
and Starboard, making people around the
world see windsurfing from new angles and
locations.

Tor Bakke
Tor Bakke has many stories to tell after
travelling the windsurfers life. Every year we
get to learn more about the background of the
first European Vice Champion of windsurfing.
The time as a windsurfing instructor in the
Bahamas, his creation of the production
Strapper sailboards with legendary Jason
Polakow, and the crucial Norwegian
Championships in 1981 where he and Svein
were battling for the title until the last upwind.
Marketing manager at Cobra int. and owner of
his private nightclub at age 18.
Tor is heading Starboard web side of things,
and more.
Trent Pedersen
Joe Dumrongvivat
Trent Pedersen holds the title Marketing
Manager. The truth is that Trent does not
get enough time to look at all marketing
aspects. He has been thrown into a quickly
expanding organization, which needs his
multitude of skills at all levels, and there
isn’t any corporate or windsurfing discipline
that Trent would not be able to handle.
Besides being a skilled sailmaker and party
animal, he is the man that helps Starboard
make all the right decisions.
Joe Dumrongvivat, the youngest top manager in
the windsurfing industry, has not only guided
Starboard to become the worlds best selling brand.
He insures that Starboard products are available on
time in 75 different countries through the very best
channels. He has with his long term sales planning
secured that the second hand value of Starboard
remains the highest in the market. Joe was the first
man to Join Starboard, and he is the last man to
leave the office every day.
Ian Fox
Ian Fox has one particular mission this season,
get his one year old son Carter windsurfing.
Carter already came to our photo shoot where
Ian successfully commanded some 40 crew for
10 long days, ensuring that 4 camera men, the
sun, the wind, helicopters and our pro team
were ready for action at the right time. Ian lives
to go fast, his board of choice is the Sonic 100,
he’s involved in testing S-type and Carve
prototypes, and will provide the most in depth
feedback possible on equipment in our forum
pages.
Kjell Vagle
Kjell Vagle, a man with more enthusiasm for
windsurfing than anyone we know. This “nut head”
created a windsurfing club at the artic circle with
close to 300 members. Today he is in charge of
the windsurfing-academy program, our
sponsorship alliance project and other new trend
setting avenues. Kjell was Svein’s sports doctor
back in the 84 Olympic’s in LA.
Scott McKercher
Scott Mckercher does not like to loose and
looking back he probably has won the most in his
career. He won the respect of all the other PWA
sailors, people that he accidentally met on the
beach and his friends. He won the love of a
beautiful blond woman and keeps helping to
create winning board designs .He would also like
to win a port tack down the line wave sailing
event, but when he does, that will be quite
unsubstantial when its all added up.
Keith Baxter
R mi Vila
Michael Nakvachara
Remi Vila’s motivation is clear.
We must create brilliant designs for the 08
Olympics, as the sport of windsurfing has
so much to gain with a class where sailors
are using equipment they enjoy racing. It’s
a difficult task, developing a board that
sails well in light wind, planes early and is
plenty of fun in high winds. Remi divides
his time between traveling the world to help
Jim Drake convincing ISAF that a change
must happen. Developing and testing
boards with Starboard, and taking care of
his own successful business and beautiful
wife in Martinique.
Michael Nakvachara suffered an injury
while winning a ice hockey game in Bangkok
last year, but is now back in action. He is
everywhere doing everything. For Starboard
he supports the test program and helps
manage the Starboard test facility at Naklua
Bay, Thailand. Michael is an engineer with an
eye for the very best shapes, and he helps us
select and refine, over and over again.
Keith Baxter Born and raised in Hawaii, he became
a member of the Kaneohe Yacht club where he
learned to sail. He brought the first Hobie Cats to
Hawaii, and soon became state champion.
He got himself the original windsurfer with serial
nr:326, seeing that a new sport was about to
happen. He started Fleetwood and produced the
best mast tracks and booms in the business. Later
he started HPL, known as the boom manufacturer
with 10 out of the world’s top 10 ten sailors on the
customer list.
Keith and his wife Karen later initiated the worlds
first Kiteboarding accessory company, Airush.
Today he is our inspiration for the new Prokids
movement and with his kids Connor and Ashley, he
travels the world promoting kids windsurfing.
As a good friend on and off the water, Keith always
shares his ideas and we are happy to follow him on
new adventures.
Ellen Faller and Roger Jackson
Ellen Faller and Roger Jackson, both US
windsurfers of the year. Spend their years
growing the sport of windsurfing. They travel
to events all around the US, setting up
windsurfing clinics and demos as the go.
www.start-windsurfing.com is serviced by

Starboard’s core research, design and development team are all too aware that innovation and quality is a whole greater than the sum
of its parts. Paying attention to details, listening intently and thinking two steps ahead, is what drives the team forwards.
Listening to schools, Starboard developed the new Clipperbox system, a revolutionary retractable centre-fin system, so simple and
functional by design. Sand-proof, durable and simply so smooth to use. Paying attention to test riders, a new dual-layer tread pattern was
designed for 2005 board pads. With a uni-directional ‘Fish Scale’ grooving, these pads offer traction and grip in precisely the right
direction, whilst allowing the foot to smoothly slip out when exiting from the straps. With concerns about safety, Starboard introduced the
Safety Rubber Washer, a small device that protects flesh from protruding fin bolts – a small and simple detail yes, but a critical one none
the less. Racers wanted lighter straps and did not mind compromising size-adjustment practicality – so a Racestrap that weighs a mere
90g with minimal water absorption was developed and introduced as standard on all Formula and Sonic boards.
Tiki Tools, full EVA decks, plastic fins with tool-less Easy Bolts fixtures for kids… the list goes on.
Tiesda You
The greatest detail of all, the shape, is the ultimate focus of attention. Hundreds of concepts are tested and refined each season, day in
and day out, all year round; involving dozens of core designers of the most experienced caliber and verified by professional test riders from
around the world, each board and its details strive to define performance, innovation and quality.
Per Andersson. A Swede bred in the waves of Western Australia, Per shapes, tests and specializes in board construction, shape and quality. A pure perfectionist by
nature, Per has grown to become a key figure in the workshop within a short space of time. Driven by sheer passion, he draws sincere respect from those of us
around him.
Koltd Black. The artist who’s talent designs the artwork that goes on the boards. Mixing windsurfing inspiration with tattoos, comics, and local beer, he has both a
unique graphic and working style. A maverick by nature, a clown around the office, Koltd demands freedom of movement and an artistic license in his work, contained
only within the broadest of marketing guidelines. A tough guy to keep inspired and motivated.
Herr Udo Busshoff is Starboard’s product designer in charge of the development of parts and accessories; a meticulous and extremely creative character, with a
thorough understanding of functionality and design aesthetics. Mr. 'German precision'. Trained with 13 years in a performance sports retail shop and a diploma in
Product Design.
Nimit Pormchan, Gob Sewakul, Pracha Nai Win, Peak Sakarin and Pop Singnin. The leading workshop craftsmen of exceptional talent and ability. The
inseperable gang handle the making of all Starboard prototypes and masters for many years now, however big, small or challenging. Between boards, they like to
install sub-woofers in the workshop and play the music so loud it's like working in a club. The guys hang out together, wakeboard together, eat together and fom a
closely knit group of especially pure-hearted friends.

Introduced back in 1994 by Jean Louis Colmas from New Caledonia, the woodlaminated custom boards offered the lightest ever build method. Successfully
transferred to mass-production in 1995 by Jean Louis and Svein Rasmussen,
Starboard produced boards over a kilo lighter than the competition.
Dyneema is a fibre engineered to provide a remarkably high specific strength and
high impact absorption properties. The fibres are manufactured in a unique gelspinning process that align the molecule chains in a parallel orientation. The resulting
strength, elongation-to-break ratio and a sonic velocity of over 10 km/s combine to
give a sandwich laminate capable of absorbing high levels of impact energy.
Dyneema is used by the US Department of Defence in their bullet-proof vest for
ballistic energy absorption.
Often overlooked, Starboard's wood laminates also results in a board that has
been proven to deform less on the water during actual sailing: the shape under
your feet remains exactly as designed when it matters most.
"The material is very rigid, but very pleasant since we have the impression that
vibrations are absorbed without any deformations in the board" - Wind magazine France, March 2002.
Today, we are pleased and proud to see Starboard's pioneering trademark
technology used by several other good brands.
"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 board its size- with ding resistance almost
comparable to that of boards with thermoformed skins" - American Windsurfer
magazine – USA.
The 0.6mm Australian pine is exceptional as it combines properties in a unique
way: the wood is inherently unidirectional and low in resin-absorption, as well as
remarkably stiff in compression - conventional laminates such as carbon or glass
lacks this quality. Furthermore, wood exhibits high dynamic strength and
exceptional impact resistance. The relatively high thickness of the wood laminate
multiplies even further its strength, stiffness and ding resistance qualities.
The wood laminate is combined with military grade glass, carbon and an Airex
sandwich core brought from the aerospace industry. Dyneema is used to reinforce
areas of the board subjected to heavy impacts as a means to increase durability
further.
The Dyneema Reinforced Airex Model construction is a sandwich construction
described as "bullet-proof" by the US magazine Windsurfing. Using an Airex core
combined with military grade glass, D-RAM boards feature the use of wood under the
heels for impact resistance as well as Dyneema in high impact-exposed areas of the
board.
Glass & Carbon fibre
The use of innovative techniques such as foaming epoxy resin, new compression
moulding techniques and continuous fibre glass layers provides the required skin
thickness for a strong and stiff laminate, while specific reinforcements further
enhance impact and fatigue resistance in the most stressed areas. Low density
EPS core maintains the overall weight down and provides flex for added comfort
while sailing.
For N-ASA boards with a full EVA comfort deck (Start and Starsurfer), the EVA
layer replaces the ASA skin on the deck so as to bond directly with the underlying
epoxy and glass fibre layers: the durability of the EVA deck is increased and
weight is saved.
N-ASA technology opens the way for a future line-up of simple, high performance
and affordable range of equipment designed for everyday fun for all.
The new N-ASA technology combines the use of expanding resin with a 0.3mm
ASA skin for a simple yet tough and durable construction. Seamless rails and
custom finishing, with sharp release edges and soft carving rails, provide a higher
level of quality than ever achieved before with such technologies.
ASA (short for Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a copolymer based material that
has excellent properties for outdoor applications with its remarkable resistance to
prolonged exposure to sunlight, heat, rain and common chemicals, and with its
ideal mechanical properties: the actylate elastomer has an excellent resistance to
discoloration and degradation from UV sunlight and as a laminate sheet, provides
high scratch and impact resistant protection.

The Dur-X construction label signifies the use of heel
bumpers, double sandwich, oversized, angled
reinforcements and optimized external reinforcement
patches. The Dur-X standard is used for all Acid, Evo
and Kombat models.
A The double-to-single sandwich transition line follows
a W-shaped curve to spread the load over a maximized
area. The resulting smoother transition reduces the
load-concentration ahead of the mast track increasing
durability.
B Oversized heel reinforcements cover the footstrap
inserts, reducing the load concentration that normally
occurs between the plastic inserts and the surrounding
area. The heel reinforcements are wrapping around the
rails to cover the apex of the board and are also angled
to spread loading more effectively and prevent total
breakage due to localised stress concentration.
12
C A unique mould-marking method guarantees the
most accurately built production sandwich boards: heel,
nose, rail and ‘half-deck’ reinforcements follow precisely
the design specification to maximize strength-to-weight
ratio and enhance durability.
In 1995, Starboard made available both Power and Tuttle boxes for our
medium and large sized boards. Following one year of feedback from
the world market, we decided to choose the original Tuttle box system,
and are happy to see that all manufacturers have currently chosen the
Tuttle design for the board models that need maximum strength to
carry the largest fins.
The Freesex range of freestyle boards called in for a
new construction that combines minimal weight with
direct impact resistance and optimum responsiveness.
Single sandwich on both deck and bottom is therefore
utilised, with a 3/4 carbon/kevlar deck reinforcement
that provides the required impact resistance and
stiffness.
Full Wood further enhances the stiffness characteristics
on Wood models, while a Stonewash finish minimises
finishing weight with a pro edition look.

Widely established amongst experienced pro and top level recreational
sailors as the best fin mount solution available, the Tuttle box gives the
highest level of structural integrity and affords the most secure fit. This
in turn ensures that the board’s performance is never compromised by
a loose fitting fin. Furthermore the 2 screws system provides extra
assurance from losing the fin while crashing into an object sailing, and
keeping the fin from moving if it slightly touches the bottom or if it is
subjected to other small impacts.

The Start, was the first dedicated ultra-wide beginner’s board.
Originally introduced in 1999 it has revolutionized entry level windsurfing
by making the sport incredibly easy to learn – cover the basics in a
mere 60 minutes.

Svein Rasmusse
Today, the new 2005 shapes are ultra stable. The Start S, M and L have
new fittings and have been especially developed to make windsurfing
more addictive.
The new models are simply tailored to let first timers have instant
success when learning the basic’s and then provide them with the
sensation of planing straight away, getting them hooked.
The wide shapes with extra volume in the mid rail section insure plenty
of stability to secure the best platform for easy learning, and the wide
tail area encourages the earliest possible planing.
More stable, more ergonomic, more durable, more fun and more
exciting to ride. Smooth to jibe and quick to plane, the new Start’s not
only make learning quicker, it also makes planing and performance
sailing more accessible and easier to attain.
Learn easier, plane quicker, get hooked faster!

“Starboard is not just happy to have pioneered the compact widestyle beginner
board, it is a team that endlessly improves the concept towards more
maneuverability and ease of progress. The Start is currenty the most stable and
easiest board in the World, while keeping a heathy dose of excitement - no... make
that pure fun!” Wind magazine France, March 2003

• Fat rails in the midsection give incredible stability and floatability. Even at reduced widths, these fat rails give
the stability of boards much wider.
• Fine, thin rails in the tail with heavy tuck-under provide aft rail bite and easy initiation to smooth jibing
performance.
• Wider tail of the Start L lowers the planing threshold significantly, to get learners hooked to speed before
they know it!
• The deck in the back third of the board is domed for extra comfort in all footstrap positions. While the subtle
central ridge helps the user to feel the board’s center line, making learning instinctively easier and faster!
• Multiple footstrap positions cater for the absolute beginner, intermediate and for maximum performance.

Claudia & Eric Girard
• The 3-coloured deck indicates standing positions and is in coordination with footstrap positions. Inside colour
for first timers, middle colour for planing initiation and outside colour for higher performance
• The revolutionary Clipperbox retractable center fin system is super slick and smooth to use. Totally sand
proof and totally flush to the deck.
• Just ahead of the center fin is an attachment point for the leash loop, that can be used to give learners
more confidence and prevent them from drifting too far. Because it is positioned in the center, the leash will not
affect board behaviour and response.
• Sharp release edge in the trailing section of the hull – a feature rarely found in ASA boards - improves
crispness, planing performance and acceleration.
• A concaved deck in the forward area helps guide the user through a tacking maneuver with ease.
• High quality fittings: Clipperbox, super-soft uni-directional fish scale pads, safety washers, easy to adjust
Quick-straps, nose bumper, carry handles.

Start L
3 models are tailor made for different weight and skill groups:
• The L for heavy weights and sailors that are looking for the
easiest board to learn on, with a planing incentive.
• The M for medium weights and for sailors more orientated
towards jibing initiation and a more conveniently sized package.
• The S for lighter weights and sailors living in windier
locations.

A whole new world of windsurfing
“The Go, the revolution that made windsurfing accessible, allowing
beginners to become autonomous within half a day. Others adopted it
as an everyday board. Others went as far as to take it out for back
loops!” Planchemag, France, June 2004.

One for all
Eric Girard
The launch of the first GO board back in 1998 started the history of
modern windsurfing. Derived from development on the first semi wide
race boards, the Go brought a new world of accessibility to
windsurfing.
The very first EVA covered full sandwich boards were hailed by the
press as “saving the sport of windsurfing”, and these immediate best
sellers redefined progressive performance freeriding.
The Go further became the starting point of the first Starboard
Formula boards. As Jim Drake pronounced that wide boards will truly
become popular the day they are evolved enough to win a World
Championship. In 2000 his wide designs took all the first 6 places in
the Formula Worlds.

The Go's cater for all, including beginners who need wide widths for
extra stability, optional side fins for directional stability, and comfort
from the full EVA deck. Combining these features with a crisp
lightweight sandwich construction with shapes that bring impressive
speed, early planing, extra comfort and truly amazing jibing qualities,
the GO is the one for all.
• Full sandwich construction makes the GO boards stiff, crisp and
light to sail, with a responsive and exciting ride.
• Multiple footstrap positions transform the board from an entrylevel tool to a high performance freeride blasting machine.
• Racing developed cutaways and flat tails reduce wetted surface
to deliver speed, sharp acceleration and improved trim.
• Full EVA deck with graduated thickness to minimize weight.
• Thin, heavily tucked-under rails in the tail, combined with a
rounded, pinched outline, enabling truly excellent jibing qualities –
full planing, powerful and fast jibes that will blow you away.
• Optional side fins transform the GO boards into a beginnerfriendly board that stays upwind comfortably.
• High quality fittings: Super-soft, uni-directional Fish Scale pads,
safety washers, carry handles, easy to adjust Quickstraps.

Versatile windsurfing back to the roots.
• Lightweight full sandwich construction with premium gel coat finish.
• Wide width offers exceptional stability and early planing.
• Fine, thin rails in the tail with a rounded outline and some heavy tuckunder provide exceptionally smooth jibing performance with easy initiation.
Finally Available
• Multiple footstrap positions cater for the absolute beginner,
intermediate and for maximum performance windsurfers.
• Revolutionary “Clipperbox” retractable center fin system, super slick
and smooth to use. Totally sand proof and totally flush to the deck.
The all-new light weight Express II at 90 cm width is the World's first wide sandwich board with
a retractable center fin. Why has no one produced a lightweight modern wide board with
centerboard before?
Probably for the same reason that no one thought of wide boards before the GO was finally
created..
“When sailors get to know that this trend setting combination actually is available, we will all be
out of stock”, was the first comment we received when we showed the board to a few US
based shops during our photo shooting.
• A concaved deck in the forward area helps guide the user through a
tacking maneuver with ease. Makes learning instinctively easier and faster!
• High quality fittings: Carry handle, safety washers, easy to adjust
quickstraps.
The versatile all-round board, combining learning, light and high wind performance with
progressive sailing, all in one package. Fun for all the family, friends and pets.
A unique combination of lightweight full sandwich construction, premium gel-coat finish and the
revolutionary “Clipperbox” retractable center fin. The Express II will deliver crisp and exciting
performance for the advanced sailor, with impressive speed and exceptionally smooth jibing.
For the progressing sailor, the Express II offers a large mono-pad for comfort, multiple
footstrap positions for accessibility and early planing abilities.
For the beginner, there is plenty of stability and added security of a center fin to stay upwind,
helping to sharpen the learning curve.
For other sailors, it's a lighter weight wide board for early planing, with a center fin for upwind
capability in light winds.

Plug and play
The Compact is the practical one-board freeride solution. It is the
most compact board in its class, the only board in its class in actual
fact! The Compact combines a massive sail range and freeride
performance on a totally new level, all in one style board.
Ultra short not only means super easy storage and transportation, but
also means ultra responsive control in strong winds. Being relatively
wide brings the ability to plane up quickly in light winds with larger
sails, while adding stability. A rounded tail outline and soft tuckedunder rails makes for impressive jibing by wide-style freeride
standards. The low swing weight feel of a super short board will blow
you away with its outstanding response and agility. Pure plug and
play.
• Ultra short nose is the secret behind the Compact's amazing
responsiveness and control.
• Ultra fat also means enough nose volume for quick tacks and
getting back to the beach when the wind drops.
• Cutaways reduce the wetted surface area to improve trim,
acceleration and speed.
“It is frankly so much fun to plane-up so easily and with so much
efficiency on such a short board. The Compact has an explosive attitude
in light and unstable winds. In maneuverability, it is without peers in
boards 80cm wide or more, carving far faster and being ultra-dynamic.
Very comfortable, easy to ride, responsive and very fast in light or
medium winds, the Compact makes itself a remarkable introduction on
to the market and to our eyes, it represents an all-new type of board,
absolutely versatile, accessible, fun and with ultra-high performance in a
wide range of conditions.” Wind magazine France, February 2004

Two fins are supplied as
standard to cover the
exceptionally large wind
range: a high quality
prepreg Freeride 380 fin
for smaller sails, and a
prepreg High Modulus UD
Carbon Race fin 480mm
deep for larger sails.
Multiple footstrap positions
make the Compact more
accessible and more
versatile to various tuning
options.
High quality fittings: Supersoft high comfort
wavestraps, uni-directional
fish scale pads, safety
washers.
With the optional Compact bag, the Compact
concept comes into its own as a neat package that
holds the entire quiver in one practical and easily
transported package.

• Heel gutters lower the feet closer to the water for a lower center of effort
improving control and feel over the board.
• The heel gutters also increase the dome on the deck providing more grip and
making the inboard footstrap positions extremely comfortable.
• New outlines are designed for quick acceleration and excellent popping ability.
• Super short, thin shapes bring maximum aerial control and minimum swing
weight.
• Slender rocker lines and reduced Vee gives more straight-line speed.
• Faster more comfortable shapes mean that these new Freesex’s are adapted
to freemove and freeride potential.
• A freestyle specific construction for improved heel ding resistance has been
developed with the use of a unique full wood, Carbon/Kevlar sandwich.
• Beveled rails to prevent the board from tripping when sliding and rotating over
the water during maneuvers.
• Nose rocker especially curved to improve tail first planing.
• High quality fittings: Super-soft high comfort wavestraps, uni-directional fish
scale pads.

New signature Acid supplies from the
World's best wave team- Levi Siver, Kevin
Pritchard and Scott McKercher.
Classic down-the-line waveboards. The
ultimate for hardcore, high-speed
waveriding in epic conditions. The Acid 70
and 74 Pro-models are developed for Levi’s
explosive style. The Acid 80 and 88 are
Scott’s Pro-model boards, designed for a
fast, powerful and committed front-foot
riding style. The Acid 94 is Kevin Pritchard’s
Pro-model, the fast side-shore waveboard is
developed around his heavier weight and
the need for a larger board in lighter wind
conditions.
33
Kevin Pritchard
“The 05 Acid range delivers maximum performance for classic down-the-line
waveriding, with precise and controlled high speed cutbacks. Beautiful outlines that
allow you to draw a turn out or snap it hard whilst utilizing the whole rail. Positive
control at the extreme end of performance. Doing maneuvers at warp speed will be
how this board wants to be driven.” Scott McKercher.
• Slender pintail shapes evolved over a period of 8 years through constant
developments.
• Each board has been developed in close collaboration with Levi, Scott and
Kevin, who together cover a wide range of styles and sailor weight.
• High quality fittings: Super-soft comfort wavestraps, uni-directional fish scale
pads, heel bumpers.
• The Starboard “Dur-X” construction standard is arguably the most durable
one in the world: The warranty rates are estimated as the lowest in the
industry.
• The Acid 70 is Levi's board especially designed for more versatility and
fluidity with its wider outline and shorter length.

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. Understanding the wind strength at your local spot
How strong the wind is in your preferred windsurfing location influences the
board you need. As a rule of thumb, the lighter the wind, the higher the
floatation you will need. The stronger the wind, the smaller the board you can
have for added control and responsiveness.
3. 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. As a rule of thumb, lighter sailors need less
volume and heavier sailors will need more.
Lighter sailors in strong winds therefore tend to choose the lower
volume boards of a certain range, heavy sailors in lightwinds tend to
choose the larger volumes in a certain range. Lighter sailors in light
winds or heavy sailors in strong winds will often choose something in
between these two extremes.
180+
4. 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.

Evolutionary waveboards developed by Scott
McKercher.
The EVO project quickly became the most
talked-about wave board concept when the first
generation was introduced last year. Magazine
tests and pro riders worldwide were applauding
these new trendsetters.
A
Of
t ion
u
l
E vo
Now the second generation of EVOs has been
developed to further waveriding with maximum
versatility in a wider range of conditions. Extrashort, with incredible projection off the bottom
and an attitude for big aerials. The Evo’s adopt
a fluid ride with a tweaked aerial style of
waveriding that is easily accessible to the
progressive rider and pushes the limits of the
hardcore pros.

With more range than classic wave shapes –
from perfect waves to onshore mush - the
Evo’s will make the most of every wave.

Scott Mc Kercher
“More than a simple evolution for modern waveriding, Starboard’s Evo is the first ever
waveboard which efficiently suits top hardcore wavesailor’s needs and also ‘waver-rider
learners’ looking for ease of use.” Wind magazine France
“It’s never been so easy to get aerials; the Evo takes you by surprise. It offers
superhero waveriding ability out of a can.” Windsurf magazine UK
“The best waveboard for those who want to attack as radical as possible. Out testfavourite for its ability to adapt to different skills and bodyweights. A board on which
one’s waveriding skills progress faster, in either wave-riding or jumping.” Planchemag
magazine France, January 04.
“It’s the universal board, on which we can surf all the waves in the world, whether you
are a beginner or a pro.” Planchemag magazine France, October 2003.
• New Rounded pintail shapes on all sizes for a looser, bottom turn and snappier
cutback.
• More aerial control and easy rotation with its short length.
• The wider outline allows for smaller sails to be used in any given wind strength.
• More accessible than classic wave shapes the Evo’s do not compromise on radical
performance.
• The larger width especially in the mid aft tail section gives more range than a classic
wave shape and benefits like:
• Allowing for smaller sails to be used in any given wind strength.
• Making the board more stable.
• Keeping the speed through the flat part of waves.
• Better initiation and maintenance of speed down the line.
• A short cut for climbing over whitewater.
• The 80 is an entirely new shape with a faster planing feel, whilst maintaining all the
EVO qualities.
• High quality fittings: Super-soft high comfort wavestraps, uni-directional fish scale
pads, heel bumpers.
• The Starboard “Dur-X” construction standard is arguably the most durable one in the
world: The warranty rates estimated as the lowest in the industry.

Our growing team of female sailors the world over are standing behind the Diva
program. In Norway alone over 50 ladies participated in the first regional Diva camp.
A selection of tailor-made boards for women, the Diva line presents a hyper-radical Evo 62
shape for evolutionary waveriding, and two high performance freeride Carve shapes designed
around comfort with a feminine touch.
Christine Johnston
Diva Evo – Extremely small to suit the needs of a lightweight sailor, with a slightly lighter deck
construction, the Evo shape offers radical wave-riding action with an attitude towards tweaked
aerials and explosive projections off the lip. With a wider range than conventional classic wave
shapes, the Diva Evo makes the most out of any wave conditions – from onshore mush to epic,
fast Ho’okipa conditions.

Full EVA deck
Renata
Diva Carves – With their all new lightweight full EVA deck cover, the Diva Carves combine highperformance freeride shapes that deliver exhilarating speeds, crisp handling and maximum
jibing fun with extra comfort and protection from cuts or bruises. At only 2mm thickness and
with the recessed pads, the Diva Carves’ full EVA deck remains lightweight, with cool looks.

Since the very introduction of the brand, Starboard Racing Development focused in redefining racing. At times the designs
have been so extreme that even our own race team were worried before taking the latest design trend for a win.
Since the Starboard birth in 1995, more national and international titles have been
secured on Starboard than any other brand.
The first Sonic slalom boards, introduced in 1996, built in the innovative Wood
technology construction from New Caledonia, weighed in at a kilo lighter than the
rest of the competition and helped securing the Speed world record for production
boards. The following year the Production Board Worlds in racing and slalom were
won on Starboards.
In 1999, Starboard and Jim Drake revolutionized racing with the Formula board,
a wide-style course racing board that brought superior upwind performance, a
lower planing threshold and a massive wind-range. In the Formula Worlds 2000,
Starboard riders secured all the top 6 spots, proving probably the single most
exciting design victory in the history of windsurfing.
50
In 2002, Starboard introduced the Hypersonic. According to Windsurfer
magazine France, "No other board to date has revolutionized modern windsurfing
like the Hypersonic". Designed to bring maximum speed throughout an extremely
wide wind-range, the Hypersonic rekindled the interest in slalom and speed.
In 2005, the all new S-Types and F-Types are Racing Development's derivatives
packed into more versatile freeride packages.
Starboard Racing Development - continuing to offer the most innovative and
advanced racing machines, through sheer dedication and development
experience.

Starboard Formula, the concept that has been leading
Formula development since the very beginning of the
class.
Pure Calculation
High-paced development, constant refinement, attention to detail and avant-garde
concepts, ensures Starboard Formula’s class leading performance year after
year. The sheer number of Starboard Formula boards chosen by top national and
international racers speaks for itself.
After 12 months of further research and development, since the release of the
test winning, European champion “Formula 158” arrives the all-new Formula 159.
It sets benchmarks most notably with higher down wind speed thanks to the new
lower stretched rocker line and widened nose area. Quicker acceleration, better
upwind angle, and overall an enormous amount of added control translates into
another formula of “pure calculation” from the company that claims more medals
and top places over the last decade than any other. The 159 is by far the quickest
and most controllable Formula we have ever developed.
The definitive racing equation
52
Wojtek Brzozowski
European Champion 2004
53
“Test Favourite” “The brand that has won the most titles” “The Starboard imposes itself as the Formula unanimously most sought after by all testers.
With its comfort, versatility, wide wind range and of course its outright performance, it is simply the most complete of Formula boards in 04”.
Planchemag magazine France, February 2004.
• Super lightweight Wood technology construction, with a minimal racing
paint finish on the bottom to save every possible gram.
• Race straps that weight a mere 90g and designed to absorb a minimal
amount of water when wet.
• Ergonomic rail shapes under the feet for maximum control and grip.
• Sidewall rail feature for increased upwind bite, increased bottom end
power and maximum water release.
• Zero-Vee bottom shape for more bottom end power, earlier planing and
quicker accelerations.
• New rockerlines, trimmed for improved downwind speed and comfort
over chop.
• Wider tail brings improved upwind and downwind angle with greater
power, while also increasing the wetted surface area's aspect ratio for
improved efficiency.
The international Formula Experience Class is a multi manufacturer,
multi design Class based on modern wide style shapes for Youth and
Juniors, as well as seniors looking for an affordable introduction into
racing. Already in 02 the European Championships in Brest, France saw
65 competitors from 9 countries. Several continental events has since
been hosted in North and South America, the Caribbean and in Asia, and
the Class received ISAF recognition already in November 2003.
Formula Experience is the official Youth & Junior Class in the United
States, Germany, France, and other key windsurfing markets.
A unique concept of fair and exciting racing in combination with
simplicity and social happenings. Starboard has 2 race winning models
available, the 136 and 156. It is by insiders predicted that the F.E. Class
into the future may become an Olympic feeder class, an important step
towards a clear roadmap for sailors that wish to make an Olympic
campaign.
• High quality fittings: soft, uni-directional Fish Scale pads, safety
washers, ultra-light racestraps.
• High performance prepreg High Modulus UD Carbon Racing fins,
designed by Jean Jacques Deboichet.

Quick S-Types are on the way to bring a whole new super sporty feel to
freeriding. These designs are crisp and feel extremely fast, they are the perfect
choice for supercross fun. The S-Types are high-speed slalom-based freeride
shapes, derived from Kevin Pritchard’s race-winning Sonic 100. With their thin,
tucked-under rails and rounded tail outlines, the S-Types deliver exceptional
handling and remarkable jibing abilities, in a more comfortable and controllable
package than pure slalom boards.

Levi Siver
The new exciting high performance light wind freeride machine that increases
your “on the water” time. Instead of waiting, the F-Type transforms non sailing
days to full planing. Providing plenty of fun and comfort, the F-Types will feed
you your adrenalin fix.
These lightwind high-speed, high performance boards have an exceptional
ability to plane up super-early and carry large sails, delivering hardcore racingedge action before white caps even appear. Thin rails and super short lengths
keep maneuverability and responsiveness crisp, while the high speed exhilaration
of the F-Types will have you tuning in for more.

The current world champion slalom shapes developed with Kevin Pritchard are
classic slalom boards purely orientated towards the ultimate top-end speed in
optimum conditions. Uncompromised, ultra light construction, with blistering warpspeed accelerations. Thanks to reduced lengths and perfectly engineered
ergonomic rail shapes, the Sonics provide maximum effective grip and comfort in
powered up conditions.
With faired outlines and lightly tucked rails, the Sonics are capable of powerful, fast
jibes that carry maximum speed through the turn, enabling overtaking advantages at
the jibing mark.
Ian Fox
The Hypersonic has become the “cult” board. What else was to be expected
from the board that has created more debate than any other board design ever.
The famous Hypersonics are all about maximum speed over a maximum wind
range. Capable of carrying a massive range of sail sizes, the Hypersonic’s
deliver blistering speeds from lightwind to strong wind conditions.
3 years after their initial controversial launch, they remain the unequalled
one-board slalom solution.
Pure, un-distilled racing adrenalin with rushes of speed.

“No other board to date has revolutionized modern windsurfing like
the Hypersonic. Truly extraordinary”. Windsurfer magazine
France.
“Board of the Year”. Boards magazine UK.
“The introduction of the Hypersonic into the market place changed
the status quo. It has re-introduced the idea of speed again. A huge
sail range, as well as a blisteringly fast performance. Here we have a
board that is extremely short, easy and light to transport, and
capable of taking a ten-metre sail as well as it handled a six-metre.”
Windsurf magazine UK, May 2004

winds and a larger
one for earlier planing
and larger sails.
Maximum speed over a maximum wind range
Deep double-concaves make the ride ultra smooth and controllable, with the unreal
ability to glide through lulls and allowing the rider to apply more pressure onto the fin for
improved top-end speed.

Boardbag
The new Starboard bag boasts a whole new design
packed with innovative ideas and more conveniently
placed handles than ever.
Padded in thick foam, lined on one side with reflective
silver material, built for durability and featuring a new
high quality zipper, the boardbag will protect windsurf
boards during general transport and storage.
Split tail design - to
allow a finned board to be
slotted in easily.
Security Loops - when
attaching the board and
bag on to the car roofracks, slotting the roofrack straps through the
Security Loops helps
reduce the chances of
losing the board should
the straps loosen up.
Stomp pad - a great
feature that allows you to
slot the board in more
conveniently: stomp on
the stomp pad to hold
the boardbag in place as
the board is pushed in.
Nose Protector
The Starboard dual density Nose protector - high
density on the upper surface to spread the load, low
density underneath to absorb impact energy.
To be attached to the nose with neoprene contact
adhesive. Available in S, M and L sizes:
S - small boards and pointed noses.
M - medium sized boards with slightly rounded noses.
L - larger, lightwind boards with round, wide noses.
Express
6.0 & 7.5
The express sail is specifically designed
around the needs of the recreational sailor
and weekend fun racer using boards such as
the Express or GO. The materials have been
carefully selected and gradiated to allow for
the lightest weight with maximum durability.
Making the sail fuller deep down and further
aft provides extra power for earlier planing
and the flatter top profile gives top end
speed and control.

NEO
Start
6.0 & 7.5
The NEO offers modern day
performance yet maintains a feel and
comfort that is often forgotten in the
current markets stiff rigs. A lot of effort
has been put into delivering a sail that
has great power for it’s given size, yet
remains stable throughout it’s wind
range. You can start planning earlier
with the NEO 6.0 and 7.5 than any other
sail of the same size. The modern rig
mechanics and solid durable materials,
deliver a soft feel, with progressive
power.
Dacron and a PVC window are used in
the construction of the Neo, and with no
monofilm in this sail it allows for the
longest lifespan possible in modern day
windsurf sails. The Dacron body is
further reinforced from stretch due to
the use of load retention strips.

By fine-tuning the geometry and
balance of the rig, we have greatly
reduced the physical effort required
by the beginner sailor. Luff curves
have been optimized to produce an
easy, twisting sail for smooth
delivery of power. Most aspects of a
full size rig have been incorporated,
making it possible for the first time
user to experience modern
windsurfing from day one.

Safty Washer
The smart Starboard safety
washers are developed
especially to protect the
feet, sail and boom from fin
screw heads that protrude
above the deck’s surface.
Start Leash
2.0
Developed to cater for young
sailors , the stars of tomorrow,
the design has been simplified to
deliver more power in lighter
calmer conditions.
Accessory Bag
The accessory bag for shops
is a convenient “tool of the
trade” pack that includes a full
selection of screws, bolts,
nuts & washers identical to the
standard Starboard parts.
The luff curve and seam shaping
has been specifically developed
to work under lower tensions,
allowing anyone to rig their sail
without assistance.

The new Start leash system gives beginners more
confidence and the chance to be completely
independent, by making learning alone or without
supervision safer. The leash also makes teaching
easier, since the teacher no longer has to swim after
the student everytime they drift away.
One end of the leash line may be hooked to a fixed
object on the shore or held by the supervisor, while
the other end clips on to the leash loop attachment
found at the centre on the bottom of the 2005 Start
or Starsurfer models. Because the attachment is near
the centre of the hull, the use of the leash will not
affect the way the board reacts in non-planing
conditions.
Fin Bag

bag that fits up to eight 70 cm
race fins.

Roller Wheel
The Optional Roller Wheel that
clips on to the board to make

the joint fit either twin-pin systems or single pin systems.
The base itself is designed for durability and the lowest
possible centre of effort, thanks to its recessed plate.
Racestrap
Quickstrap
Wavestrap
Racestrap: weighing a
mere 90g, it is also
designed to absorb less
water than conventional
straps, effectively saving
half a kilo in weight: that's
up to 10% of the board's
weight. Adjustable only via
the 6 fixed screw settings.
68
Quickstrap: quick to
adjust with its innovative
external, symmetrical
adjustment system. Extra
thick internal lining for a
comfortable contact.
Wavestrap: the
standard reference in
comfort and firmness.
Starboard windsocks and flag
indicate the wind strength and
show the wind direction even
in the lightest of winds. A fun
reminder for when conditions
are good to go.
The Express mast extension and Start Zero extension built
in hi-grade alloy are designed for simple functionality and
strength. The length adjustment via a pin-clamp is resistant
to sand does not get stuck under pressure, while the 6:1
pulley system is compatible with virtually all sails. Both
extensions use the twin-pin system.
Universal Joint: Cup
Start Zero
Extension
The Express mast, made in the USA, with a 30% carbon
content. Durable and responsive, matching the Express
sail's luff curve perfectly to provide power and control.

At Lake Taco, Thailand: A quickly growing team of
people from over 10 nations work together to develop
Starboard and its extensive services. The Starboard
design and development center is located next to the
central office, ensuring only a short step from idea to
prototype. Selected world wide Starboard OEM
suppliers insure that the highest quality production
boards are available on time ,creating
some 700 annual work places .
Naklua Bay, our main test location, is a one-hour ride
south of Bangkok, where another on location workshop
allows for immediate refinements of the most potential
test boards.
Most high wind gear is tested in Western Australia’s
diverse coastal conditions. Our Maui team gives final
“thumbs up” on performance after testing at their local
island spots. Starboard's goal is to “deliver what is
needed tomorrow, yesterday”.
We are supporting systems which will see the numbers
of windsurfers grow 5 times the current level by 2007.
Our goal is reliant on the support of you, the media,
