Love them or hate them, no single board has created more interest the world over since their release last year; Starboard claim that they were the world's best selling board in 2003. The resultant top speed is staggering - paced against anything else, it just steadily pulls away.
Improved jibing:
With thinned rails and rounded tail outlines, the new HyperSonics carve smoothly and jibe faster to become more enjoyable and competitive around the jibe mark.
More comfort:
The new lower and rounded standing area gives a most comfortable platform for the feet, while a higher refined rocker keeps the front section clear of harsh chop delivering a fun and forgiving ride.
More compact shape:
An even shorter shape reduces dynamic swing weight ahead of the mast track, improving response and liveliness. In high winds, these boards remain in total control as the reduced nose area does not get caught by the wind. The new ultra compact HyperSonic - more controllable and agile than ever before.
Deep double concaves:
The remarkable hull shape of the HyperSonics is the key to their outstanding ability to keep planing, power upwind and accept smaller fins. (To optimize your HyperSonic range, both 42cm and 34cm fins are supplied as standard.) The sharp central spine under the front of the board also allows HyperSonic to penetrate through the water efficiently for a remarkably smooth ride, even in the choppiest conditions.
Higher speed:
The sum of shorter length, higher rocker, smaller fins, rounder tail and rails presents a board which sets new standards in overall speed across a wide wind range.
What the Magazines say:
| Windsurf Magazine - April 2004 |
|
The resultant top speed is staggering - paced against anything else, it just steadily pulls away; only the F2 is more capable in the right circumstances. A fantastically quick board that is extremely technical, even by Hypersonic standards. Hugely fast on all points of sail, it needs a committed rider to get the best from it; most would be better off with the 111.
