One For All

The iconic GO boards kickstarted the modern windsurfing era by introducing the widestyle concept. 23 years later, the GO boards continue to help thousands of progressing and advanced windsurfers through their first steps and their first carve jibes. Today’s GO boards feature the most advanced shapes, new sizes and an all-new Starlite construction. Let’s GO.

THE GO IN DETAIL

• EFFORTLESS PLANING WITH A LONG, FLAT BOTTOM SHAPE

• AUTOMATIC JIBING WITH “JIBE HIP” OUTLINE IN STANDING AREA

• CONTROLLED RIDE WITH DEEP VEE

The iconic GO boards revolutionised modern windsurfing with their wide style concept. Now, 23 years later, the latest generation of GO boards continues to assist both progressing and advanced windsurfers in taking their first steps and mastering carve jibes. The current generation GO boards boast advanced shapes, additional sizes, and innovative Starlite construction.
Let’s GO!

Starboard continues to update and evolve the popular GO family. This year, six exciting designs share the optimised rail outline of our highly successful Carve evolution, providing enhanced stability and confidence while improving jibing capabilities. The award-winning Gravity Control System, derived from our iSonic boards, contributes to the exceptional all-around performance of the current GO design. With a lowered center of gravity, the board feels more locked in, stable, and primed to accelerate with every gust. A more vertical rig position promotes better control, improves jibing performance by increasing rail pressure, and ensures superior grip, power, and control during carving. For intermediate conditions and progressing riders, the optional Drake Shallow center fin aids in upwind sailing and
straight-line tracking.

OPTIMUM STABILITY

When not planing, the evenly distributed volume of the GO makes it easy for beginners to confidently move around on the board.

EFFORTLESS PLANING

The GO 122, 132, 142, 152, 162, and 172 all share the same shape concept as our Carve range, featuring a longer flat section that enhances early planing and allows for sustained planing even during wind lulls.

JIBING

The rail curvature, starting between the front and back strap, facilitates planing jibes and enables confident blasting in stronger winds. Meanwhile, the width around the front strap and the elongated flat section ensure continuous planing out of the jibe.

LOWER CENTER OF GRAVITY

The award-winning Gravity Control System from our iSonic boards significantly enhances the all-around performance of the modern GO design. The lowered center of gravity provides a more locked-in and stable feel, ready to accelerate with each gust. The result: More control, more fun!

OPTIONAL CENTER FIN

The GO range offers an optional center fin (available separately) that assists in upwind sailing and provides additional stability for windsurfing beginners. Remove the center fin, insert the plug, and transform the board into a high-performance freeride machine.

ONE FOR EVERYONE

The compact freeride shape of the GO board allows both kids and adults to share the fun. For kids, the board’s compact outline makes it easy to maneuver and handle, while the center fin helps maintain upwind direction and straight-line tracking. Adults can remove the center fin, adjust the foot straps to their desired positions, and unlock the board’s maximum performance.

FOOTSTRAP POSITIONS

The 2024 GO boards provide a wide range of footstrap positions, catering to all skill levels for easy access and customization.

FULL PAD ON THE DECK

The deck has a large soft EVA finish, comfortable for your feet, knees and elbows. You get the grip – without cuts or rashes. The EVA deck is raised above the edges of the board to allow the water to flow freely around the board and jibe smoothly without drag.

DRAKE FOOTSTRAP

The Drake footstraps are made with FSC-certified, sustainably-sourced and plant-based Yulex foam. With 85% natural rubber content, CO² emitted during the manufacturing process is reduced by 80%. The remaining 15% of synthetic neoprene is kept to improve UV resistance.

MATCHING SAILS

The Starboard SUP Windsurfing sails are a great addition to any beginner or progression board. They are light, powerful and an excellent choice for entry-level windsurfers; great versatility and durability.

REDUCED WASTE

Every second GO board has an inverted EVA color scheme to reduce waste. A more sustainable approach brings awareness and adds liveliness and variation to the range.

DRAKE FREERIDE FIN

Drake Freeride fin for great control. Blending flowing, natural turns with straight-line efficiency and confidence, each GO’s fin is carefully specified and optimised to enhance the exciting and responsive performance.

CONSTRUCTIONS

Crisp and Sharp

The GO 2024 are available exclusively in the Starlite construction, a significant step up from the standard construction typically used in this price category: lighter weight, stiffer, tougher against impacts and with a crisper, more high-performance feel on the water. It uses a combination of 0.6mm Australian pine wood and glass fibres to combine premium technology with a quality finish in a value package.

AVAILABLE SIZES

GO 122, 132, 142, 152, 162, 172

Starboard’s popular GO family share the same optimised rail outline as our hugely successful Carve evolution, adding stability and confidence, while enhancing jibe capabilities. Our iSonic’s World title winning Gravity Control System contributes to an even better allround performance in the 2024 GO design; lowering the centre of gravity feels more locked in, stable and ready to accelerate with every gust. A more vertical rig position encourages better control, improves jibing performance by providing more rail pressure and ensures more grip, power and control while carving. The optional Drake Shallow centre fin helps you stay upwind and track in a straight line; great for intermediate conditions and progressing riders.
