As a windsurfing learner board iSTART2 is the lightest board we have ever offered. You will feel how the light weight, long flat bottom surface, rounded tail and edge release creates immediate glide sensation and helps you get up into semi planing with minimal effort.
As a wingboard learner, iSTART2 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.
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.
You tack quickly with the 22 cm Drake Shallow fin, which provides solid stability while moving the feet to the other side. 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.
*Side fins are not to be used for windsurfing.
Starboard inflatable boards are supplied with our roller-wheeled bag that packs everything away tidily and conveniently. Featuring eco RPET 450D outer fabric layer made from recycled plastic bottles, in partnership with Waste2Wear. The bottles are chopped into flakes, washed, melted and extruded into yarns and then spun into a fabric. Between 30 to 50 bottles are.
All boards are supplied with our benchmark V8 Double Action pump. Inflate your board faster and easier with continuous pumping cycles in both down and upward action. Turn the switch and it becomes a single action pump for easy inflation to 18 PSI. Always inflate between 15 and 18 PSI for maximum stiffness and performance.
The iSTART2 is a full EVA deck board allowing safety and comfort while learning where to step either you start wing or wind. Friendly and grippy this durable EVA pad area will not let you down, if it does, then it’s just water.
The board tacks with ease using the 22 cm Drake Shallow fin.
The Daggerboard Lip System is quick to replace as years pass by.
