The Starboard Evo IQ Wood new windsurfing board with the option to include a free board bag is for wave use.
The Evo IQ extends the adaptable wave board concept to include the famous flowing rides of the single fin Evos and the twin fin skatey style.
Supplied with a single fin and leaving the twin fin set ups as optional. The Evo IQs prioritise straightline speed and acceleration with a solid fin grip, on the wave face it's all unmistakably Evo. You can now flow through tight turns and project big aerials off the lip, maximizing your wave riding performance in the widest variety of wind and wave conditions. The new Evo IQ, it's extra versatile.
Single fin setting: straightline speed priority with a solid fin grip, enjoy classic Evo performance.
Skate setting: the choice for fast, powerful waves and a skatey feel.
Starboard's new Slot Box: the new box system is fundamental to the Evo IQ concept. The Slot box is designed to be extra light, weighing 70% lighter than a US box. It has 3cm of adjustment room and current US based fins can also be cut to fit. The custom manufactured bolts fit the same screwdriver as your footstraps making them effective against sand and keeping the system simple and hassle free.
US Box Centre fin: to ensure that the centre fin box fits many current wave fins on the market the centre fin on the Evo IQ is an 8" US box fin box.
New Shape: Forward Vee that spirals into reduced vee between the feet and ending in a monoconcave in the tail. The forward vee increases the engaging rail's angle of attack when the board is carving, which creates extra drive into the turn. The monoconcave channels the water through the tail and allows for a flatter rocker for more speed and quicker planing. The tail rocker has extra tail kick to keep the board free and loose. Evo rails are soft and rounded like surfboards - keeps the ride flowing and smooth.

Developed by Jean Louis Colmas in 1984, Wood Technology has become one of Starboard's trademark constructions since 1995. Their production Wood boards have since then set the lead in lightweight sandwich technology weighing in at a kilo under the competition and yet seemingly with a higher impact resistance.
A sheet of 0.6 mm Australian plantation pine wood forms the full outer shell of these boards. The wood's unique properties are its natural rigidity, superior resistance to compression and higher energy absorption compared to carbon. To this day it is still the construction with the highest dynamic shape stability.
Advantages: lighter weight, highest dynamic shape stability, rigid flex, quicker response
ProTECT - UV protective film all 2011 Starboard Wood Technology boards come with a new protective film that covers the exposed wood area of the deck. This film protects the wood from harmful UV rays to maintain the beautiful wood look. It also improves the bond between the non slip clear coat and the board to make the non-slip more durable.
