Starboard - 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.

Severne - Our unique focus for Severne is rig ergonomics. By anayizing the overall effect the sail's geometery has on the sailor, we are able to build sails that are more comfortable to use in a larger range of conditions.
Technically, this is achieved by analyzing the following points: Placement of the center of effort in the rig, rake angles, pitch, and sheeting angles. Once these elements are analyzed and adjusted, we can deliver the most comfortable stance possible for each design.
Severne focuses on developing a larger "sweet spot" or area of sailing trim where the rig performs more efficiently. This translates into rigs that are significantly more predictable and that allow the sailor to easily respond to the changing wind and water conditions.
