GO/ GO WINDSURFER
BEGINNER WINDSURF BOARD - ONE FOR ALL
The iconic GO boards kickstarted the modern windsurfing era by introducing the widestyle concept. 22 years later, the GO boards continue to help thousands of progressing and advanced windsurfers through their first steps and their first carve jibes. Today’s GO boards feature the most advanced shapes, new sizes and an all-new Starlite construction. Let’s GO.
ONE FOR ALL Starboard’s popular GO family is fully updated for 2023. Six exciting new designs share the same optimised rail outline as our hugely successful Carve evolution, adding stability and confidence, while enhancing jibe capabilities. Our iSonic’s World title winning Gravity Control System contributes to an even better allround performance in the 2023 GO design; lowering the centre of gravity feels more locked in, stable and ready to accelerate with every gust. A more vertical rig position encourages better control, improves jibing performance by providing more rail pressure and ensures more grip, power and control while carving. The optional Drake Shallow centre fin helps you stay upwind and track in a straight line; great for intermediate conditions and progressing riders.
Often a great choice for a family with a range of riders or conditions, the integrated daggerboard ensures more confident windward performance, enabling better upwind angles and less drift in lighter conditions, but smoothly folding away to allow for a faster, more responsive ride as soon as planing conditions (or rider experience) are suitable. Explore the coastline in lighter wind conditions using the daggerboard, or enjoy the thrill of carve jibing a responsive board with daggerboard retracted neatly inside the body of the GO Windsurfer. The 165 size is the ideal entry-level and intermediate board for smaller riders, featuring an elongated shape for excellent traction and glide before planing. The GO Windsurfer 175 and 185 are best sellers for first time windsurfers, delivering exciting versatility from light to windy planing conditions. The 2023 shapes are all new and feature a more lively, responsive ride and intuitive jibe. Wider nose, long cutaways, optimized profile and efficient rocker line all improve your ride thanks to more glide, stability, traction and ease of planing.
KEY FEATURES -
> Evenly distributed volume - when not planing, the evenly distributed volume makes moving around on the GO effortless and an easy choice for beginners
> Effortless planing - GO 132, 142, 152, 162, and 172 share the same shape concept as our Carve range, with much longer flat section enhancing early planing, easily maintaining planing through wind lulls.
> Jibing - rail curvature, starting between front and back strap, encourages first planing jibes and let's you blast confidently in stronger wind, while the width around the front strap and long flat allows for continuous planing out of the jibe.
> Lower centre of gravity - Lowering the centre of gravity feels more locked in, stable and ready to accelerate with every gust. The result: More Control. More Fun!
> Optional centre fin - The GO range features an optional centre fin (available separately) that helps you keep upwind and provides extra stability as you learn to windsurf. Remove the centre fin, fit the plug in and you have a full performance freeride board.
> One for everyone - The compact freeride shape for kids and adults to share. As a kid’s board, the compact outline makes it easy to maneuver and handle. The centre fin helps stay upwind and track in a straight line. For adults, remove the centre fin, adjust the straps to their performance positions and unlock the maximum performance mode of the board.
> Full pad on the deck - The deck has a large soft EVA finish, comfortable for your feet, knees and elbows. You get the grip – without cuts or rashes. The EVA deck is raised above the edges of the board to allow the water to flow freely around the board and jibe smoothly without drag.
> Smooth glide - GO Windsurfer 165, 175, 185: A highly efficient and low rockerline and an even volume distribution allows the GO Windsurfer to glide smoothly and fast in light winds, with lots of longitudinal traction. It also lets the board accelerate onto the plane smoothly and more easily than before.
> Retractable daggerboard - The GO Windsurfers features a fully retractable daggerboard that makes it easier to stay upwind and learn to windsurf, while being more versatile from light to windy planing conditions. Our Clipperbox daggerboard system that clicks in and out and can be removed without tools. Position the daggerboard at 45 degrees and pull up to release. The water-sealing rubber lips are ultra-durable and can also be replaced without tools.

What Poole Harbour Watersports say - This is the GO-TO board for if you are looking to purchase your first-time windsurf kit. It is fabulous for learning and beginners, but is a board that isn't limiting in the progression it offers. With this board you can start to plane comfortably and get into the footstraps and harness. Give us a call if you need more information on what size to go for.
I have used this board on flat water in calm and very windy conditions. I really like this board it handles really well, is a pleasure to paddle and seems quite quick. one of the reasons for choosing this board was it is designed for lighter weight paddlers, it really does fit the bill in that respect. All in all a brilliant board. In addition the service I received from Poole Harbour Watersports was excellent.
Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size and had to return for an exchange, couldn’t speak highly enough of the service I received being kept updated along the way and the new coat being dispatched as soon as it was back in stock. Thank you
