Starboard Go 2011 - Progressive freeride
The GO: the original progressive freeride board that offers stability, comfort and volume with a blend of high performance, speed and fun for the progressing rider. This simple formula, born out of the widestyle revolution that Starboard pioneered in 1998, places the GO as the board that marked the beginning of modern windsurfing design: no other board before it provided such ease of use, stability and performance for the average windsurfer.
In 2010, the Go boards share the same original formula and the same features that have made it so successful over a decade ago: a full EVA deck for comfort, multiple insert positions for beginners, intermediates and experts and carry handles in wider boards for convenient handling.
"Born in 1998, the GO from Starboard is undeniably the pioneering board of recreational fun Windsurfing. Fun, easy and with high-levels of performance, the GO keeps leading its little revolution so many years later! A true bestseller, the GO has found its public by making windsurfing both more accessible and higher performance."

Size Specific Features
GO 175, 155: the GO boards with the most stability. These two models include footstrap positions for entry level and are 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, these two boards are also the most powerful GO boards 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.
Fittings
Carry handles in the centre: makes carrying the board under-arm easy
Full soft EVA deck: comfortable for your feet, knees and elbows. You get lots of grip without the cuts or rashes. New for 2011: the EVA deck is raised high above the edges of the board to allow the water to flow freely around the board and carve jibe smoothly without interruption. The EVA deck is also reduced from the nose and tail area, keeping the soft deck away from abrasion intensive areas.
Foostrap positions for every level of sailing: beginner, intermediates and advanced.
Carry handles in the nose: makes carrying the board by two people more convenient.
New! The GO 151 and 171 now include centre fin-box - perfect for fitting an extra centre fin that makes a beginner's first steps even easier.
Easy Progression
The Express is the perfect progression sail. Its simple lightweight design combines superb low-end power with balanced handling to bring larger boards up onto the plane with ease.

Built to the same high standard as all Tushingham sails, but with large monofilm panels, the Express is the perfect introduction to performance windsurfing.
