The Starboard Futura won every comparative test it entered: the Planchemag test, the Wind magazine test, the Windsurf magazine test, the Boards/Boardseeker test and the Surf magazine test."
The Futura is Starboard's freerace board. Freerace boards are designed to go extremely fast, like slalom boards, but with more user-friendliness and more comfort. They are the sports cars of windsurfing. Island SUrf & Sail is your Starboard connection.

When it was first introduced in 2008, Starboard Futura's revolutionary design redefined the freerace category: its 15% thinner profile and its wider outline, inspired by the evolution of modern slalom boards, offered the casual freerider a board that was very stable at low speed yet extremely fast and powerful throughout an incredibly wide wind range. On top of these benefits, the thinner shape made for better jibing and more control. It was a win-win design leap forwards, without any compromises needed.

After taking two years to get itself established, the Futura has become the clear market leader and the new performance benchmark. In 2011, the Futura won every comparative test it entered: the Planchemag test, the Wind magazine test, the Windsurf magazine test, the Boards/Boardseeker test and the Surf magazine test.

For 2012, Starboard continues to offer the Futura in six sizes and two technology options. The 111, 121, 131 are new shapes.

Futura construction
Especially for the 2012 Futura models, Starboard's Carbon, Wood and Technora technologies have been merged into two technology options : Carbon and Wood. The Carbon Futura is the lightest and stiffest option. The new Wood Futura constuction is a hybrid between last year's Wood and Technora, to offer a blend of high rigidity, high comfort and importantly even more value.
