iSONIC
THE LIGHTEST, FASTEST WINDSURF BOARDS
THE CUTTING EDGE IN WINDSURF BOARD TECHNOLOGY
Starboard’s flagship board range. Relentless development yields positive improvements for 2020 performance and new specification reinforcements in high load areas. The cutting edge in windsurf board shapes just got sharper.
Our fastest. Ever.
THE iSONIC AT A GLANCE
Overall lengths are 3-6cm shorter with new, adapted rockerlines to enhance control – push harder, longer, faster than ever before.
World Champions: the iSonic 55 prototype was used by Twan Verseput to win the 2018 Speed World Championships
THE iSONIC IN DETAIL
THE NEW iSONIC 85
Improved exit speed, improved acceleration out of jibes, enhanced early-planing performance and top speed thanks to the new two-step cutaway. It is the better overall racing package in lighter wind conditions.
Ready To Foil.
THE NEW iSONIC 77 AND 83
Redesigned from the ground up, the all-new rounder outlines for 77 and 83 improve critical jibing performance. 1cm narrower width at 20cm combined with the larger, two-step cutaways make these boards especially slippery and fast. On the smallest of wetted-surface areas, they deliver more lift and truly fly over the water tracking on just the fin. The biggest performance improvements in the 2020 iSonic collection.
Ready to Foil.
THE NEW iSONIC 72
New two-step cutaways improve the 72’s exit speed and acceleration out of every jibe while early-planing and top speed also gain points. The rails are 5mm boxier from tail to front footstraps, adding volume and leverage to improve performance when paired with an 8.6m2 sail. Performance with a 7.8m2 and 7.0m2 remain perfectly balanced. The result: a benchmark board that increases the lead at every buoy, makes it easier too vertake and maintain maximum performance throughout imperfect conditions.
Ready to Foil.
THE NEW iSONIC 67
Capitalises on the outstanding existing design, the 2020 67 retains the same shape as 2020 in new construction spec.
THE NEW iSONIC 55, 60, 63
These three new models feature an innovative two-step cutaway for improved acceleration, quicker planing and higher top- end speed.
EXTEND YOUR SESSIONS
DRAKE SLICK FOOTSTRAPS
The 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.
The iSonics feature 6mm thick footpads in the tail and 4mm in the front. A combination proven to deliver a highly reactive yet comfortable feel. The diamond grooving pattern provides grip and comfort over extended sessions while being resistant to wear-and-tear.

RIDERS’ COMMENTS
For the medium and light wind boards we wanted to improve that freeness and ‘raily’ feeling, meaning riding high on the water while being in total control.
The 2019 iSonic 72 and 85 were already great boards and it wasn’t easy to improve them, yet we found that the new double cut-away step made the board accelerate quicker with better trim on the water without losing any good qualities. Now hitting the gust the board accelerates even better than before and without extra effort. While passing rolling swells it never touches the water allowing you to fly over it all the time.
For the 55 to 63 we reduced the length, which increased the control massively. You can now stay full power for longer. 77 and 83 are completely new and fully inspired by the iSonic 85 in order to increase speed and performances around the marks. The double cut aways brought the next step for the 85 with amazing acceleration.
Be ready to reach your best performances ever in slalom!!!
On the high wind range, we developed a super compact, fast and controllable concept that makes any hardcore condition feel flat and easy.
ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES
MANGROVES
For every board sold, we plants a mangrove in the Thor Heyerdahl Climate Park, absorbing one ton of CO2 over 20 years. Learn more >
PLASTIC OFFSET PROGRAM
Buy a board and we collect an equivalent of 200 plastic bags from beaches through our Plastic Offset Program. Learn more >
