 ENTRY
LEVEL
START WINDSURFING
Starboard's Starts have always been the benchmark entry level board ever since
they were first introduced in 1999 thanks to their remarkably stable,
easy-planing and feature packed designs. For 2008, the new longer Start M and L
have evolved to offer more glide and more longitudinal stability, with a radical
new deck design that makes it easier than ever to progress to planing.
Specially designed heel gutters in the back part
of the board allow intermediate and advanced sailors to stand close to the
board's centre line, giving the rider full comfort, full grip and full control
without having to learn to stand out on the rail of the board. The straps are
positioned right there close to the center line, so the sailor conveniently
steps into the center straps with the natural feeling of having a nicely curved
rail under their feet.
The new Start boards plane up smoothly and quickly: they have a new super wide
tail design derived from the shape of the Apollo - the World's earliest planing
board - to create lift efficiently and plane earlier. The oversized tail
cut-away provides a surprisingly loose and nice planing sensation.
For most windsurfers, addiction to the sport started when they first got into
the footstraps and first started planing - by making planing more accessible
than ever, these new 2008 Starts are dangerously addictive.
The 2008 Starts also introduces a revolutionary colour coded deck concept that
indicates both ideal foot positions and sail positions: for uphauling, for
medium-power-zone and for more-power-zone.
The extra thick rail section in the middle of the board makes the 2008 Start the
most easy board ever to learn on. The deck is totally flat in the area where
entry level sailors will walk around the first hours onboard.
Other new features:
- The Clipperbox III features a new molded deck plate
design that holds the side plates more securely. A new uni-directional
back-plated rubber lips system totally prevents any water from gushing through
the daggerboard case when the daggerboard is retracted and board gets planing.
For the first time, you can feel the efficiency of a non-daggerboard board in
a board with a daggerboard system.
- The new Clipperbox daggerboard 570 has been
redesigned to offer a stronger handle fitting and a daggerboard angle with
slightly backwards tilt. This gives a more forgiving and directional ride.
Moulded in a more flexible plastic with reduced fibre content, the new
daggerboard is lighter and provides more lift making the board livelier
upwind.
- New integrated nose protector for a cool look.
Summary:
- The reference entry level board
- New deck design makes it easier than ever to get into
the footstraps and enjoyable to sail standing in the middle of the board
- New colour coded deck makes it easier to learn or
teach windsurfing basics
- New super-wide tail design gets you planing easier
and earlier yet a free feeling is maintained with the board's oversized cut-aways.
- Longer nose with a lower rocker gives more
longitundinal stability and more glide in light winds
- New Clipperbox III
- New cool integrated nose protector
Suitable sail types are entry level, progressive and
freeride sails.
Compared to the Rio boards, the Starts are designed purely to make windsurfi ng
as easy as possible. They are more stable and feature a colour-coded deck
specifi cally targeted at making learning and teaching easier. The Rios have
more lightwind speed and glide because they are narrower and longer. They are
designed for all-wind windsurfi ng, from lightwinds to higher winds under the
feet of either beginners or progressing windsurfers. |
