The iconic GO boards kickstarted the modern windsurfing era by introducing the widestyle concept. 23 years later, the GO boards continue to help thousands of progressing and advanced windsurfers through their first steps and their first carve jibes. Today’s GO boards feature the most advanced shapes, new sizes and an all-new Starlite construction. Let’s GO.
THE GO IN DETAIL
• EFFORTLESS PLANING WITH A LONG, FLAT BOTTOM SHAPE
• AUTOMATIC JIBING WITH “JIBE HIP” OUTLINE IN STANDING AREA
• CONTROLLED RIDE WITH DEEP VEE
The iconic GO boards revolutionised modern windsurfing with their wide style concept. Now, 23 years later, the latest generation of GO boards continues to assist both progressing and advanced windsurfers in taking their first steps and mastering carve jibes. The current generation GO boards boast advanced shapes, additional sizes, and innovative Starlite construction.
Let’s GO!
Starboard continues to update and evolve the popular GO family. This year, six exciting designs share the optimised rail outline of our highly successful Carve evolution, providing enhanced stability and confidence while improving jibing capabilities. The award-winning Gravity Control System, derived from our iSonic boards, contributes to the exceptional all-around performance of the current GO design. With a lowered centre of gravity, the board feels more locked in, stable, and primed to accelerate with every gust. A more vertical rig position promotes better control, improves jibing performance by increasing rail pressure, and ensures superior grip, power, and control during carving. For intermediate conditions and progressing riders, the optional Drake Shallow centre fin aids in upwind sailing and
straight-line tracking.
