CONTOURED DECK SHAPE
With the contoured deck shape, the board is easy to get into the footstraps. It’s easy to feel when your feet are in the correct position. It also helps to keep the rider close to the board’s centre line: more stability, easier to progress and easier to learn planing windsurfing.
ROCKERLINE
With the longer length, the rockerline can be flattened which also allows the board to transition very gradually into planing mode – smoothly and easily, without the need to overcome an overwhelming power surge.
OUTLINE PROMOTES LIGHT WIND EFFICIENCY
Feature-packed with smart ideas and offering the widest shape in the entry-level segment, the Starts make learning to windsurf and planing in the footstraps easier than ever. The Starts are 285 cm long to give these ultra-stable boards extra-glide and longitudinal traction in light winds.
RETRACTABLE DAGGERBOARD & DRAKE SHALLOW FIN
Fitted with Starboard’s Clipperbox system with replaceable and ultra durable lips and a new daggerboard with integrated handle for carrying the board under-arm. They come with a Drake Shallow 41 fin. This compact fin delivers as much power and directional traction as possible in the shortest size. The ideal fin for learning.
EXTRA WIDE TAIL
The Start’s tail is wider than any other entry-level board. This allows it to get planing earlier, at lower speeds and requiring less power. Cut-aways gives the board better speed while planing as well as earlier take off.
CARRY HANDLE
A carry handle is conveniently placed on the deck for carrying the board under your arm.
DURABLE EVA DECK FOR COMFORT / SINGLE STRAP POSITIONS
The Start Rhino is finished with a durable, grippy and textured deck that is made from high density thermoformed EVA. We’ve built in just one row of footstraps, the intermediate setting which is ideal for progressing riders, to keep things simple.
