The GO: the original progressive freeride board
that offers stability, comfort and volume with a blend of high
performance, speed and fun for the progressing rider. This simple
formula, born out of the widestyle revolution that Starboard pioneered
in 1998, places the GO as the board that marked the beginning of modern
windsurfing design: no other board before it provided such ease of use,
stability and performance for the average windsurfer.
In 2010, the Go boards share the same original formula and the same
features that have made it so successful over a decade ago: a full EVA
deck for comfort, multiple insert positions for beginners, intermediates
and experts and carry handles in wider boards for convenient handling.
"Born in 1998, the GO from Starboard is undeniably the pioneering
board of recreational fun Windsurfing. Fun, easy and with high-levels of
performance, the GO keeps leading its little revolution so many years
later! A true bestseller, the GO has found its public by making
windsurfing both more accessible and higher performance." Windsurf

GO 175, 155: the GO boards with the most stability. These two
models include footstrap positions for entry level and are supplied with
an additional Shallow fin to help beach starting in shallow waters. For
advanced windsurfers, with footstraps set in the advanced positions and
fitted with their racing fins, these two boards are also the most
powerful GO boards delivering some serious performance.
GO 144, 133: the perfect blend between stability and more
manoeuvrability. The 144 and 133 remain wide and stable enough for more
confident, progressing windsurfers, but also offer a more exciting ride,
more manoeuvrability and more control in higher winds. Three footstrap
positions are available: intermediate, advanced and expert.
GO 122, 111: these are more performance orientated freeride
machines. They are fast and fun, with a wide wind range, early planing
performance and class leading stability. Multiple insert options allow
the board to be tuned for easy planing or maximum performance. Three
footstrap positions are available on the 122, two options are available
on the 111.
Construction
GO boards are made in Tufskin Technology. The outer layer is made
from layers of 3-dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding
epoxy resin system which creates a thick, durable and tough skin. A
half-deck 0.6mm thick wood layer covers the deck to improve the board's
rigidity and impact resistance.
Ergonomics - all GO boards have plenty of dome in the tail
section and footstraps positions available inboard: this offers full
comfort and maximum accessibility in any strap setting.
Deep deck concaves (GO 111, 122, 133, 144) - the front half of
the boards are shallowed-out with a deep deck concave to lower the
centre of gravity, offer
