Beginner's windsurf board Starboard Windsurf
RIO S/M/L

ALL WIND

THE EASY CHOICE

The Rio is simply about windsurfing as Jim Drake intended it to be: everyone, everywhere and everytime.

The new shapes have evolved to offer the joys of pure freeriding to all, from beginners and progressing windsurfers to families and advanced riders, everytime: whether there's wind or just a light breeze, the new Rios offer more glide in the light stuff and a smoother transition on to the plane as it gets windier.

For advanced riders, the longer, narrower shape combined with the inboard heel-recesses and more flexible daggerboard allows the board to power upwind off the leeward rail. When planing, the wide tail with large cutaways and tail side-cuts deliver a powerful and exciting ride.

For intermediate and progressing windsurfers, the security of the daggerboard gives the confidence to go out without worrying about drifting. The radical deck design with its heel gutters and inboard-only footstrap settings make it easier than ever to get into the footstraps for the first time.

For beginners, the Rios pack plenty of rail volume around the midsection for optimum stability. The longer shape with a lower rocker offers a smooth gliding sensation straight from the start.

The full EVA deck - an orginal Starboard innovation - brings total comfort. Built in Tufskin for maximum durability, a new integrated nose protector provides further protection against mast impacts.
