Svein Rasmussen:
Starboard's goal is to continue to have available the very best equipment for all windsurfers. We have again expanded our dedication to windsurfing with the sponsorship of Julien Quentel, Antoine Albeau and over 220 other riders worldwide, the largest support program ever seen in windsurfing.
Antoine Albeau is one of the Worlds best riders in most disciplines and if the overall World Champion title would come back, I would bet on him and Kevin Pritchard.
Starboard are launching an extensive speed and slalom program within our new iSONIC line and hope that Antoine will be able to step up and become a medal candidate in the PWA slalom 42 ranking and also challenge the a World speed record.
Julien Quentel is the youngest up and coming racer in the world, and possibly the largest talent ever. He won the Light weight title in the 05 Formula worlds, is the current Youth race board world champion, current Youth World and European champion in Formula Windsurfing, Formula Experience and even youth World champion in RSX.
Antoine Albeau Statement:
"I am very happy to be joining Svein and the Starboard Team for the 2006 season! It’s great to be associated with a dynamic company willing to invest so much time and energy in the development of windsurfing.
I am looking forward to working with Tiesda You and Per Anderson on board development and together I am sure we will be an unbeatable Team!"
