Starboard S-type 2007

Category: Windsurf > Windsurfing Boards

Starboard S-type 2007 The new Starboard S-types. Slalom-freerides that are fast, high performance boards based on a slalom shape for maximum top speed and lightning quick acceleration

Created by by Tiesda You in response to the amazing success that the 2006 model has had in supercross competition. The S-type is also an ideal board for slalom and freeride. Their rounded outlines, domed decks and thin, tucked-under rail shapes are derived from freeride boards to blend their natural speed with smooth, sharp carving maneuverability and user-friendly comfort.

The new 2007 S-Type 93, 104 and 115 feature a new faster rockerline first developed on the class-leading Sonic 85. Slightly lower in the nose tip and slightly higher just ahead of the mast track, the resulting lower angle of attack improves high-wind control by helping keep the board trimmed and balanced, generating less aerodynamic drag for a higher top-end. The new shorter and narrower noses continue to reduce swing weight for an even more responsive ride.

The new 2007 S-Type 126 and 137 feature shorter noses to improve high-wind control and increase responsiveness, and new side-cuts in the tail that improve release and increase fin drive.

Low drag, super fast Drake finsIt should be noted that it S-type comes with a new range of fins developed for freeride high performance. The specially designed Drake fins are low-drag and super-fast fins developed to compliment the S-Types' high-speed freeride performance.

 

 

 

The S-type is created in 3 different constructions: Wood, Technora (a new construction that replaces the D-Ram construction of old) and a special edition club!

Starboard S-type 2007

This really is a range of boards that fits a variety of conditions, more accessible and easier than the pure slaom shapes of the iSonics and great to jibe - but comes with outstanding speed and performance.
