STARBOARD FUTURA WOOD BOARD 2009
The Futuras: A board that is the fastest board in its category, yet the most stable. A board that delivers more power and early planing than conventional freeride boards, yet remains comfortable. A board that is wide enough to carry bigger sails and deeper fins, yet feels small, light and responsive under foot. A board that is stable and accessible, yet carves smooth, tight jibes that defies its width. This is the Futura.
Its secret? Extra slim shapes, extra width, combined with iSonic genetics.
Wind range
With it’s extra wide and extra thin design, enjoy the ability to use larger sails and deeper fins for the power and early planing ability. Thanks to its reduced thickness, enjoy the responsive feel and tight carving performance associated with smaller boards.
Pure Speed
The Futuras are fast, chosen by several magazines worldwide as the fastest board in their category. Thanks to their iSonic rockerlines and a low-nose design, the Futuras fly over the water with impeccable control. Ride a bit underpowered or overpowered, flat water or hard, choppy water, the Futura still delivers.
Control and handling
Slimmer shapes equals a lower centre of gravity. This gives you control. With its lowered nose rocker, the board is immune to gusts of wind that would normally blow you out of control.
Comfort and accessibility
The new Futuras: it gives you performance, comfort and stability all in one. Its extra width inherently gives you more stability; the board won’t roll, it’s easy to uphaul and it’s easy to get going.
Power
For advanced riders, the Futura delivers all the power you can wish for - power to go upwind, power to plane up early, power to translate into maximum top speed. Enjoy the ability to tune your board to even higher levels of performance with the best fins on the market today, only available in Tuttle box.
Jibes
Those who ride the Futuras are impressed by one thing in common: they jibe far better than expected from their extra width. The Futuras simply offer you a more efficient design for your weight.
