The Maximum Efficiency concept is the key. Massive wind range, massive user range, maximum top end speed, maximum average speed, unbeatable overtaking ability and the quickest acceleration out of jibes: these are the criteria to achieve maximum efficiency. How to achieve it?
The largest R&D team with a wide variety of body weights: the iSonics 2010 were developed by Tiesda You, Svein Rasmussen, Remi Vila, Sven Akerboom, Kevin Pritchard, Cyril Moussilmani, Jimmy Diaz and Jim Drake. From 60kg to 95kg, from PWA Champions to your average freerider, no iSonic prototypes are validated unless all eight designers approve.They need to be the best for the best, and the best for the rest.
The technical advantage: with Tiesda and Jim's engineering background that covers various aspects of mechanics, fluid dynamics and material science, Starboard can blend theoretical knowledge with feedback from on-the-water testing that gives a blend that no other brand can match. The famous low-nose concept, the wide-tail design, the high-aspect ratio planing surfaces and the extra thin shapes have all come from theoretical analysis. Today, these have become benchmark features in modern slalom design.

The board many of you have been waiting for has arrived. We have taken the blazing fast Manta shapes and the superb Rocket LTD lay up and combined them into one board. The Manta FR.
If you are looking for ultimate speed and ease of use, you just found it. The Manta FR has the same rocker line as the race proven Manta. This guarantees the speed while the footstrap positions give you options to go further in to the center of the board for easier control and turning. You can set the board up however you like - go blazing fast in the flat water with your straps outboard or put them in for more radical conditions. A board with this many features allows you to dial in the perfect setting for what you need.
The outline remains the same as the Manta, construction is the same as the Rocket LTD and the graphics take on a stealth silver look. A G-10 fin is included from the T-Lab Factory- tested and ready to break all limits. Get your hands on the Manta FR today!

The new Techno Pro range makes an ideal quiver for riding with top quality equipment in all kinds of conditions. Made from Epoxy Sandwich, the Techno Pro slalom boards are Marco Copello signature boards, while Pierre Bracard's name is on the wave and wave slalom boards. To create a full quiver, we chose a range of boards that each has a program particularly suited to the various wind and sea conditions that you can encounter. In light to moderate winds riders want to get up to planing fast and have great forward speed : the Techno Pro 80, 74 and 64 are pure race and slalom designs. As the wind gets up and the waves start to swell, the Techno Pro 65 and 57 come into play with their wave slalom shapes that are both fast and highly manoeuvrable. For strong, sustained winds and waves the Techno Pro 54 is the best suited in the range ! It's over to you to choose the board according to your weight and to the water conditions!

It is no longer necessary for us to demonstrate the characteristic 'accessible to all' of our slalom shapes. Our last Tracers had proven that anyone can dominate on the spot.
With all our past experience, this year we have re worked our scoops, our hulls and have redrawn our outlines.
We have improved our shapes taking in consideration what we learnt from: our world wide dominance in the elite windsurf competitions and from the last years where we focused on giving you the possibilities to reach this high level performance.
The new SL 1 Concepts are aimed to reach the ultimate performance.
The perfect glide and the absolute reactivity have been optimised by a complete development on every tiniest surface of the board.
We have worked on the front part of the deck; 'two deck steps' strengthen the structure, guaranteeing an immediate reactivity of the shape during planning and when touching the water. The transfer of the applied forces is immediate towards the performance.
The strap positions have been decentred on a more comfortable deck to optimise the speed.
Cut outs disappear from the hull to the profit of a clear bottom shape without infringing the flow of the water.
The value of the V has been redefined. Under the front foot the V is at its maximum and it is nearer to zero at the back of the board, guaranteeing stability and high speed.
The tests on the water have been filmed and the results talk for themselves: the shapes accelerate on the water without the slightest interference. The transfer of the applied forces on the front of the hull to the tail is optimised, as to win in acceleration and speed. Stability is perfect allowing endless accelerations.

As always we are prizing comfort and control to aid top speed and maneuverability.
The triple level ergonomic power pads allow you additional grip and power when needed in heavy and critical conditions. In light wind you will have the advantage of having a perfect straight stand creating more lift while in strong wind the board remains extremely comfortable even in very rough and "unmanageable" situations.

Faster across the waters! Race performance in an easy controllable package. The new FX range is slalom rocker based, yet its thinned out rails and thickness flow make them easy to control.
Flow into maneuvers with ease, even when fully powered up.

Slalom 110/124/140 while designing this board I tried to make sure that the board was fast yet easy to control. Speed will come from control so with the soft rails, fairly parallel outline the board really handles all you can give.
Thanks to the tuck around the front foot the board jibes like it is on rails and will deal with chop like no other. The difference from the 2 smaller boards the 67/75 and 85 has no tail kick. I use the V to get the board out of the water and onto its tail. I have small cut outs to make the board have less flat on the rails and less wetted surface.
The board also has a bigger one foot off that makes you have more leverage on the fin. This will make it easier to deal with bigger fin sizes and still have good top speed even if you ride with a fin that can get you back up wind when you feel the need. It really helps if you have a bad start and needs to climb upand over somebody's wake.

Slalom 78 / 95 is a full blooded Slalom board, While designing this board I tried to make sure that the board was fast yet easy to control. Speed will come from control so with the soft rails and a fairly parallel outline the board really handles all you can give.
Thanks to the tuck around the front foot the board jibes like it is on rails and will deal with chop like no other. I also added a small tall kick to make sure that the board can always accelerate and will help from sticking the nose on the down wind runs. This really helps if you want to overtake below somebody as the board will not tail walk with the increased board speed.
There is a lot of effort going into making this board easy to ride, Thanks to the foot strap position on the board in relation to the fin placing you will not get overloaded on the back foot and the board rides with pretty even pressure on both back and front foot.

The F1 has quietly been dominating the tournament scene for several years. Although it is hard to improve upon perfection we somehow managed. The 07 F1 features a re-engineered flex pattern that helps the turn yet does not sacrifice any speed out of the turn. Some of the best slalom skiers in the world choose the F1 based on how well it skis. One of the secrets is a large sweet spot. Moderately sharp forebody bevels work in conjunction with the sweet spot to provide a smooth non-critical turn. A Texalium top provides strength and yes the ski is light. A perfect blend of carbon graphite and fiberglass gives you light weight and durability that will outlast any carbon ski on the market. The F1 is what Natalie Hamrick used to run 39 off making her the 2nd woman in the history of the sport to do so. It is also the ski Jamie Beauchesne and Terry Winter have been killing it on every tournament they attend. Anything less than a few at 41 off is a bad set for them on the F1. Known for being very fast, smooth and a failure rate of zero percent with a lifetime warranty. Nobody else can offer that … nobody.
