Company Profile

About the company..

When we at Starboard go windsurfing, ideas are created, changing the shape of our boards and our brand.

As a market leader for the last 6 years ,we are at times asked to keep the same board shapes for 2 or 3 seasons to simplify or stabilize the market. Every year we take great pleasure in challenging that opinion and prove that a well tested and developed change is a natural good for windsurfers.

Sometimes we start driving to the beach at 5 a.m. and are set for sailing well before a wonderful sunrise over the bay of Siam. The inspiration from sailing and discovering new developments creates motivation and energy to continue into the late hours to service Starboard sailors the world over from our office at Lake Taco.

Starboard continues to break barriers in technology and performance, leading to the new overall speed world record for sailing crafts at 49.09 knots, the two first places in PWA slalom circuit, the Raceboard title and 18 of the top 20 places in the Formula Worlds. The PWA constructors championship sums up the results of a tremendous overall performance advantage also in waves and in freestyle.

It's interesting to note that Antoine Albeau, after 13 years on the PWA slalom tour, had never won a final before he joined Starboard, then dramatically changed the benchmark in racing winning his first 11 finals.

How long can we expect to maintain the performance advantage in all categories of windsurfing from exciting Evil Twin developments to Serenity sailing? As long as our experienced development crew led by the extraordinary Starboard brand manager Tiesda You stubbornly remembers: change is the only certainty in a world that moves forward every day.
