The iSTART2 is the lightest learner board we have ever offered. You will feel how the light weight, long flat bottom surface, rounded tail and edge release creates immediate glide sensation and helps you get up into semi planing with minimal effort. The board tacks with ease. Side fins not to be used for windsurfing.
START 2 Windsurf
You tack quickly with the 22 cm Drake Shallow fin, which provides solid stability while moving the feet to the other side. The daggerboard sits further back than usual to make it easier to go upwind, avoiding getting backwinded. This makes even strong wind-upwind sailing great fun.
Side fins are not to be used for windsurfing.
START 2 Wingsurf
As a wingboard learner, iSTART2 has perfect balance when using the side fins that can be placed forward of the daggerboard. This brings the lateral pan forward, allowing you to stand in the same place when you wing as when you windsurf. The board tracks and tacks like no other wingboard learner, and you will wing with the utmost ease. If you are a wing teacher, you will love this board, and if you are new to the sport, you will accelerate your learning curve.
Roller-wheeled Bag
Starboard inflatable boards are supplied with our roller-wheeled bag that packs everything away tidily and conveniently. Featuring eco RPET 450D outer fabric layer made from recycled plastic bottles, in partnership with Waste2Wear. The bottles are chopped into flakes, washed, melted and extruded into yarns and then spun into a fabric. Between 30 to 50 bottles are reused.
Tiki Pump - Double Action
All boards are supplied with our benchmark Tiki Double Action pump. Inflate your board faster and easier with continuous pumping cycles in both down and upward action. Turn the switch and it becomes a single action pump for easy inflation to 18 PSI. Always inflate between 15 and 18 PSI for maximum stiffness and performance.
FIN SETUP
22 cm Drake Shallow fin provides stability and easy control when tacking and switching stance.
WING SETUP, FORWARD SIDE FINS
Side fins positioned forward shift the lateral plane, allowing the same stance for winging and windsurfing.
WINDSURF & WING MODES
Stable and easy to control in windsurf mode with rear fin and daggerboard. In wing mode, forward side fins improve balance and tracking, making progression smooth and intuitive.
LOOKING FOR A SAIL?
Starboard Windsurf sails are the perfect match for learning and progression. Lightweight, durable, and easy to handle, they deliver smooth power and control, making them ideal for entry-level riders building confidence on the water.
REINFORCED NOSE PVC LAYER
Extra protection on the nose for improved durability and longer lifespan.
MULTIPLE CARRY HANDLES
Designed for easy handling. Integrated nose and tail handles allow effortless carrying and control when launching or coming back to shore.
FINE TUNED ROCKER
Each rocker design is optimised to provide the right combination of lift, glide and manoeuvrability.
ROUNDED TAIL & SINGLE 3D RAIL EDGE RELEASE
Improves release, acceleration, and control for smoother carving and maintain top end speed.
OPTIMIZED DAGGERBOARD POSITION
Placed further back to improve upwind performance and prevent backwinding, even in stronger winds.
WOVEN DROP STITCH TECHNOLOGY
The woven drop stitch technology is used on the top and the bottom of the board. The process starts with a glue-free PVC lamination. The new weave provides a structure for the polyester yarns – which gives the board its shape. Premium weave has less give than the traditional knitting method. Most knitted fibers have soft and stretchy properties, whereas this new weaving is superior in stiffness, reflex, and rigidity.
WELDED RAIL TECHNOLOGY
Starboard’s Welded Rail Technology uses a new & advanced heat-welding process whereby the top and bottom layers of the board are mechanically bonded. That means zero glue at the top and bottom join along the rails (where leakage often occurs) and these joins are now bonded for life – making our boards the most durable on the market!
FULL POWER PLANING
Starboard’s Rail Edge invention created the planing inflatable windsurfing board segment. A proprietary 3D elastomer compound Rail Edge runs along the rails of the board, creating a defined edge that allows for a clean water release and higher speed, yet can fold and roll up. We’ve improved the Rail Edge to enhance grip while carve jibing.
Deluxe Lite
The Deluxe Lite is our lightest inflatable construction thanks to the Woven dropstitch. With a weight saving of up to 2kg, the Deluxe Lite boasts unparalleled glide and acceleration, making gliding on the water effortless and enjoyable. All Deluxe Lite windsurfing boards come with a 3 year warranty.
