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.

The Futuras: the pure freeride boards that combine stability and ease of use with the widest wind range and the highest top end performance in its group. Blurring the lines between free-slalom boards and freeride boards, the Futuras are also, astonishingly, the most easy freeride boards in their group. This thanks to extra width and their ability to automatically deliver peak performance across a wide sweet spot.
Starboard Futuras were recently introduced in the World's leading windsurfing centre. Starboard started the season with 30% of customer's bookings while the other 70% booked established offerings. By the end of the season, the bookings changed to 70%, even up to 90% for Starboard. The Futuras' impossible combination of maximum performance with the easiest and most stable shape made it the simple choice.
Impossible engineering made possible: the Starboard Futura.

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.

Since the boards received really good tests and consumer comments we decided to leave the shapes unchanged for 2010. They are very sporty but at the same time offer great easy surfing, comfort and control.

"STARTING TO BE SERIOUS" THE 360 EVOLUTION 2008 HAS BEEN RENEWED IN TECHNOLOGY AND GRAPHIC LOOK, KEEPING THE SAME SHAPES OF 2007. THE RAIL SHAPE IS NOW SHARPER, IMPROVING THE UPWIND PERFORMANCE. THE FLAT SECTION OF THE SCOOPROCKER LINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED EVEN FURTHER, TO GIVE A BETTER NON-ACTIVE PLANING CAPACITY. YOU WAIT FOR THE GUST, DO NOT PUMP ON YOUR SAIL AND THE BOARD WILL START PLANING IMMEDIATELY AS THE WIND INCREASES! THE TAIL VOLUME HAS BEEN INCREASED SO THAT THE FOOTSTEERING IS EASIER WHEN YOU ARE UNDERPOWERED.
OUR TEST TEAM RESULTS:THE NEW 360 EVOLUTION IS SIMPLY A PLEASURE TO RIDE. THE DECK SHAPE AND THE OUTLINE ARE MAKING THIS BOARD EVEN MORE FUN TO RIDE. SPEED AND ACCELERATIONS ARE SIMILAR TO A SANDWICH BOARD, EVEN IF THE RESISTANCE OF THE FINISHING FORGIVES MANY MISTAKES. THE BALANCED MIX BETWEEN FLOATATION AND PERFORMANCE MAKES THE 360 A PERFECT BOARD TO PROGRESS IN YOUR JIBES AND ALLOWS SOME FREESTYLE BASIC MANOUVERS!

Starboard introduces the Atom 99, the hyper-maneuverable freeride board. The freerider designed with a single purpose: to bring the freedom of style to freeriding.
Ride it strapless for total freedom of expression, to carve heel side and toe side jibes and ride switch stance. Or ride it straps-on for conventional control.
Ultra slim, with a fast rocker line and integrating Starboard's power steering spiraling vee concept, the Atom 99 turns, carves and reacts like no other freerider. It's no longer about top speed and maxed-out power. Only freedom counts.
Forget points, forget test scores; forget conventions and freeriding as you know it.

The Kode Tufskin is a dual purpose board: a freeride board for adults and an entry level, progressive board for kids.

In 2005, when the Serenity concept was first revealed to the World by Windsurfing magazine USA, development work by windsurfing brands and media exposure on light wind windsurfing and longboards no longer existed. The industry had only just started to get the hang of wide-style boards, those new designs that have helped windsurfers the World over to plane in less wind. Planing windsurfing was all there was for windsurfers to read about, talk about, preach and practice.
"The Serenity aims at ultra-light winds and cruising, and puts a modern spin on the simple elegance that helped windsurfing boom decades ago. It doesn't require a jumbo sail. It doesn't require pro-level skills to enjoy. Best of all, it doesn't require real wind for an exhilarating ride. Simply hop on, sheet in and go. In this regard, the Serenity succeeds, and succeeds in a big way. In terms of growing the sport, putting more sails on waterways everywhere, and offering everyone a form of windsurfing that's all the time and all fun, the Serenity provides a valuable wake up call." Eddy Patricelli, editor of WindSurfing magazine
Serenity set the course for the next chapter. Its concept of an uncompromised, lightwind-only hull shape measuring 460cm desgined for the modern age of windsurfing created shockwaves through the industry. It paved the way for longboards to make their return and ever since then, lightwind windsurfing gradually grew and grew.

A board with this many features allows you to dial in the perfect setting for what you need.

- Fast Slalom rocker and straight power tail – developed over years with our PWA International Race team
- Slim speed outline

The MOVE boards have the broadest range of use in the HiFly range. Their real strengths are versatility and control. With the 31 cm freemove fin, the 95 turns into a small free move board, planes really early and reaches top speeds. Using the small fin, the MOVE 95 turns into a large wave board. Smaller to midsize waves can be ridden effortlessly, and thanks to the double-sandwich this board can handle high jumps easily as well.
The MOVE 108 also comes with two fins. The 34 cm freeride fin supplies the MOVE with plenty of power. Early planing combined with a high top-end speed brings you pure freeride fun!

Naked boards ate high performance freerlde boards, fast, easy and extremely manouevrable, and as such absolutely suitable for SUPER X racing. A new generation of freerldes: wider and shorter, that reach very high top end speeds and that, specially the two smaller models, can be used for freestyle manoeuvres. These boards are extremely easy even In severe chop and with small sails. They are equipped with a relatively short powerbox freerlde fin in order to achieve the best compromise between speed and manoeuvrability, but If used with a Freerace fin becomes extremely fast and capable of incredible upwind performance.
