As a wingboard learner, START2 has perfect balance when using the side fins that can be placed forward of the daggerboard. This brings the lateral pan forward, allowing you to stand in the same place when you wing as when you windsurf.

START2 WINGSURF
As a wingboard learner, START2 has perfect balance when using the side fins that can be placed forward of the daggerboard. This brings the lateral pivot point forward, allowing you to stand in the same place when you wing as when
you windsurf.
The board tracks and tacks like no other wingboard learner, and you will wing with the utmost ease. If you are a wing teacher, you will love this board, and if you are new to the sport, you will accelerate your learning curve.
START2 WINDSURF
You tack quickly with the 22 cm Drake Shallow fin, which provides solid stability while moving the feet to the other side. Your gybes progress fast with the thinned-out tail and rounded f
ront rails.
The daggerboard sits further back than usual to make it easier to go upwind, avoiding getting backwinded. This makes even strong wind-upwind sailing great fun.
The coloured oval in the middle of the standing area guides you towards your entry-level
standing position.
*Side fins are not to be used for windsurfing.
RETRACTABLE DAGGERBOARD
Thanks to the new brass pivot design and revised side plates, the new Clipperbox system maintains better adjustment, whilst also being smoother to operate. The updated daggerboard with a soft handle is now easier to retract for planing, or to extend for upwind.
CARRY HANDLE AND CARRY STRAPS
The built-in carry handle ensures practical board transportation under your arm.
An additional strap is positioned at the tail if you wish to drag the board up from the water, and another is placed at the nose so two people can carry the board together over a longer distance.
SIDE FINS (ONLY FOR WING)
With the SAIL FIN installed easily you transform the START2 to the most efficient and comfortable Wing learning board, making sure of keeping the line you want without side drifting while you have more time to focus on how to use the Wing.
NO EVA OPTION
The START2 Rhino constructions comes to the No EVA version, our toughest and most time lasting board ever. Specially for schools and people who don’t want to bother with EVA gradually decomposition after years and use under the strong sunny days.
*Only the Size S No Pads is available with inserts for footstraps position.
FULL EVA DECK
The START2 boasts a large, soft EVA grip on the deck, ensuring comfort and safety. Enjoy a secure grip without worrying about cuts or rashes. The nose area, where the boom tends to drag, is free of EVA.
DRAKE SHALLOW FIN
The stiff and wide Drake Shallow 22cm fin is both practical and durable, providing powerful directional traction. Perfect for shallow water use often encountered during learning or progressing sessions.

HOW TO USE THE STARBOARD CLIPPER BOX SYSTEM
Our shaper and board designer Remi Vila shows how the new 2025 Clipper Box system works. Easy and safe! This is the best system for entry level windsurfing and it gets you sailing upwind with ease. Once you want to plane, just slide the fin into the box. No screws, no hassle, just fun!
CONSTRUCTIONS
AS TOUGH AS IT GETS
The START2 Wind-Wing surf boards were built in the Rhino construction with one mission in mind: to make them as durable as possible for schools and centres. The entire board is wrapped in a thick, tough thermoplastic polymer ABS skin (not to be confused with ASA), with a double wrap around the rails.

For every board sold, Starboard plants 3 mangrove trees with Worldview International Foundation. Each Mighty Mangrove sinks down 673kg of VCS certified CO2 during its first 25 years.
Together, our 3 mangroves offset the boards Carbon Emissions 10 X over and fund local livelihoods projects in Myanmar.
Buy a board & we pick up 1.4kg of beach/ ocean plastic trash – equivalent to the amount of plastic trash entering the ocean, per person, per year.
The START2 has an average plastic content of 4 kg per board.
