GO 155: the GO board with the most stability. This model include footstrap positions for entry level and is supplied with an additional Shallow fin to help beach starting in shallow waters. For advanced windsurfers, with footstraps set in the advanced positions and fitted with their racing fins, this board is also the most powerful GO board delivering some serious performance.
GO 144, 133: the perfect blend between stability and more maneuverability. The 144 and 133 remain wide and stable enough for more confident, progressing windsurfers, but also offer a more exciting ride, more maneuverability and more control in higher winds. Three footstrap positions are available: intermediate, advanced and expert.
GO 122, 111: these are more performance orientated freeride machines. They are fast and fun, with a wide wind range, early planing performance and class leading stability. Multiple insert options allow the board to be tuned for easy planing or maximum performance. Three footstrap positions are available on the 122, two options are available on the 111.
GO boards are made in Tufskin Technology. The outer layer is made from layers of 3-dimensional 400g glass mat wetted out with an expanding epoxy resin system which creates a thick, durable and tough skin. A half-deck 0.6mm thick wood layer covers the deck to improve the board's rigidity and impact resistance.
Ergonomics - all GO boards have plenty of dome in the tail section and footstraps positions available inboard: this offers full comfort and maximum accessibility in any strap setting.
Deep deck concaves (GO 111, 122, 133, 144) - the front half of the boards are shallowed-out with a deep deck concave to lower the centre of gravity, offer more control and provide a quicker response to foot steering pressure.
comprises a 5 batten high performance freeride sail, easy handling and low end power, easy to rig, with a good wind range. The rig comes complete with the sail, Epoxy mast or as an upgrade to a lighter weight Carbon 45% mast, Aeron Rookie boom, mastbase and rigging.

Tested by German Surf Magazine:
"Go, nicknamed the "slalom racer with a sun deck" covers a wide range of use. With its excellent high-quality fin, this board reached an enormous top speed with a free-speed feeling just like a slalom board. The outboard footstrap position is therefore very suitable (but less useful for beginner).
Despite a considerable top speed, the board is still easily controllable, it shreds over choppy water and likes to go upwind virtually by itself. Due to the additional inside foot strap options and the very comfortable deck cover, The GO is also recommended for sailors in the early stages of planing and for kids to learn on easily.
On top of that, the Go is the most stable and difficult to tip-over board in non-planing conditions. For progressing, there is a second fin which is shallower and spares the precious race fin for full planing with a 8.5 meter sail.
Features such as the K9 anti-twist system of the foot straps or the carry handle give the GO additional credits. Merely during power jibes, the GO has less drive, it likes to plane rather unhurried through wide turns.
