Starboard

Starboard is one of the most influential brands in windsurfing, SUP, and foiling, with a long track record of changing how people actually ride. Founded in the mid-90s, the brand became known for bold design moves like wider boards, lighter constructions, and shapes that plane earlier and feel more forgiving. That mindset carries through everything they build today, from race gear to beginner-friendly boards. Starboard also puts real effort into sustainability, pioneering wood and bio-resin constructions long before it was trendy to talk about it. The result is gear that’s not just high-performing, but thoughtfully built and meant to last. If you care about progression, accessibility, and brands that think long-term instead of season to season, Starboard makes a lot of sense.
