windsurf – starboard rio
These are the boards that cover learning, progressing and planing for the first time. They are considered all-rounders because they are equally good at providing stability for beginners to learn and providing power for progressing windsurfers to get planing smoothly. Once planing, the Rios feel responsive and fun. These qualities also make the Rio the number one choice for dozens of schools and centres.
windsurf – starboard carve / ATOM
The essence of freeride. The 2014/15 shapes are 8% slimmer on average in the midsection meaning they are extra stable and cover an even wider wind range than ever before. They plane earlier, carry bigger sails and ultimately reach faster speeds than before – more often and more effortlessly making these the ultimate plug and play freeride board. 95, 110 and 120 litre options
Windsurf sails – tushingham concept
The Concept’s power, super-easy handling and light weight make it the very best sail for progression and with respectable top-end stability, it will last well beyond the early stages of planing. 4.5m to 7m sizes to suit all winds.
