THE iSONIC IN DETAIL
What’s new:
The evolution continues at an even higher velocity; introducing the new iSONIC designs for 2025. Our race-ready iSONIC 60, 63, 67, 73, 77, and 85.
The latest iSONICs fly over the water with renowned control and confidence. Calm and composed in rougher conditions, they accelerate relentlessly and freely without sticking, with enhanced performance capability ensuring even more competitive advantage when it matters most. The 2025 iSONIC 60 features a new design with a 5cm longer flat in the center, improving stability in rough conditions, complemented by a 20cm shorter flat on the sides to reduce wet surface area. Revised two-step cut-aways, implemented in an extended triangle geometry provide unparalleled freedom and control. The iSONIC 85 now benefits from significantly larger second-step cut-aways and a refined forward Vee shape, delivering maximum acceleration and control, even at high speeds. The iSONIC 77, following the success of the iSONIC 85, mirrors its design and performance, achieving speeds over 40 knots in challenging conditions like Garda Lake’s North winds. For 2025, we also reintroduce the iconic Starboard Wood Sandwich construction across the iSONIC range.
ARROW CUTAWAYS
For 2025, the iSONIC 60, 77, and 85 models feature the innovative Arrow Cutaway design. The refined second step length enhances the board’s lift on the fin, while the extended triangle step provides superior control by minimizing tailwalks. This results in a more free-flowing and perfectly trimmed board that extends the fin’s controlled lift range. Experience higher average speeds that edge closer to your maximum potential, all with improved confidence and comfort. With these refinements, you can keep your focus on racing. And let your board handle the rest.
SPEED FOCUSED STANCE
The 2025 iSONIC models feature an optimized speed-focused stance. The rear foot straps are positioned to minimize surface area drag, enhancing top-end speed. Additionally, the mast track is centered further back, allowing the board to ride more freely and effortlessly. These refinements ensure that every element is tuned for maximum velocity and performance, letting you push your limits with confidence.
DOUBLE-STEP CUTAWAYS
Latest iSONIC models feature refined Double Step Cutaways for enhanced release and increased speed. The second step is shorter, allowing the board to fly higher on the fin for improved performance and control.
MAST TRACK FURTHER BACK
The back footstraps are complemented by moving the mast track further back, allowing the board to ride with even greater freedom.
EXTRA VOLUME MIDSECTION
Featuring a refined outline, the 2025 collection incorporates extra volume in the midsection, enhancing consistency and confidence in challenging conditions. This added volume ensures quicker planing and sustained momentum, enabling seamless performance, especially in critical situations.
JIM DRAKE SLICK FOOTSTRAPS
The Jim Drake Slick 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. Carefully sourced with the smoothest fabric for a comfortable feel.
CONSTRUCTIONS
THE FLAGSHIP CONSTRUCTION
The iSONIC Carbon Reflex is our flagship range. The light weight allows you to get going easier, plane through wind holes and get the best top speed. Carbon Reflex is our stiffest construction, giving you the best control when hitting chop and waves. Decks are built with the lightest grade of biaxial and uni-directional carbon fibre orientated between 45, 30 and 0 degrees for optimized flex and reflex characteristics. The bottom of the boards use an even lighter grade of uni-directional carbon fibre from nose to tail, with an extra 45 degree biaxial carbon layer in the tail area for added torsional stiffness.
Ultralight Weight Combined With New Materials
Developed by Jean Louis Colmas in 1984, Wood Technology became Starboard’s trademark construction in 1995. Wood Technology remains a favorite for riders preferring more comfort, more control and the unique crisp feel of an original Starboard. It’s time to bring back this technology while reducing our CO2 footprint. Full wood sandwich lamination of 0.6mm Australian Pinewood, ensures durability and comfort in a good strength-to-weight ratio. Today’s wood is more visible in modern graphics; UV protected by fresh blue paint and stickers that compliment the natural grain with a really nice effect. A classy re-edition of a classic Starboard Original.
AVAILABLE SIZES
Flying at high speed, the iSONIC 60’s tail becomes the only surface touching the water. Our race development focused on refining this area, explicitly aiming to increase control while decreasing resistance. The more comprehensive forward outline provides balance and maintains a perfect, powered racing stance while maximising confidence and control in strong winds. Behind the foot straps, a narrower outline optimises trim while reducing critical drag at maximum velocity. The combined outline improves glide, precision and planing speed through tight turns, ensuring better acceleration back to top speed. The iSONIC 60 development involved extensive rough water testing in Tarifa by Matteo Iachino and Blanca Alabau. The result is an absolute open-water high-speed DefiWind weapon. iSONIC 60 is ideally matched with performance carbon fins around 32cm.
Development of the new iSONIC 63, already renowned for a compelling low end, targeted extending the high-end wind range and enhancing the more confident, locked-in feel. The 2025 evolution maintains the tuck line, whilst a more comprehensive outline and volume at the back foot straps help engage the more powerful leeward rail. Lengthening the centre rocker flat by 7cm extends the limits of control, keeping the iSonic 63 trimmed level and comfortably controlled at full power, even in overpowering conditions. Together with iSONIC 60, the new 63 was proven in the rough chop of Tarifa by Matteo Iachino and Blanca Alabau—ideal with a 33cm carbon fin.
iSONIC 67 stands out as a reference of the best slalom board we have ever made. Adding a 1.5cm wider outline in the tail drastically improved efficiency and speed in lighter winds. The new Arrow tail cutaways, similar to the iSONIC 73, allow the board to fly freely over chop. The most exciting feature of this board is its exceptional control. No matter how windy or choppy, the nose will never fly away. You have to try it to experience how good it is. It’s the perfect medium size board for light riders and women.
Versatility meets speed. A breakthrough 2025 design, with increased width to 73cm at the widest point and a massive 2cm added at the rear foot straps, while leaving the tuck line untouched. This change gives you more power in lighter winds and critical situations, jibing or overtaking your friends. Or competitors. As the wind picks up, even more release - thanks to the rear focussed stance and our new Arrow cutaway design at the very end of the tail - less surface in the water and higher top-end speeds. You will be blown away by how much control you can have while flying this new board design over any water surface.
Developed in the lighter winds of Thailand together with the 85, the iSonic 77 optimises rider stance and mast track rearwards, freeing the ride while improving fin leverage and easier control. Everyone was simply faster on this version. The hip outline combination ensures more performance in light winds, where the windward side of the board is more in play while also improving competitive jibing. iSonic 77 adds confidence in stronger winds, most especially when harsh chop starts to compromise speed.
With foils becoming a genuine challenger to the big slalom boards, our most notable detail in the iSonic 85 is the increased tail width, enhancing low-end power. The powerful tail section also provides significant control improvement; as the board starts to fly away in strong gusts, the tail section becomes activated, and the nose trim stays lower, ensuring optimal control. And performance. The tuck lines remain unchanged, while tail cutaways in line with the smaller iSonics make this large board feel super loose under your feet.
