GO SURF
The 9’6” x 31″ GO Surf was designed for lighter riders and especially for women up to 95kg, offering a board that’s lighter to carry, has good glide and stability, and yet is totally nimble and responsive to turn in the waves. The design of this model drew reference to other much-loved Starboard designs, scaling down an Avanti outline, as well as using the rails and bottom shape of the popular Wedge range.
At 31” wide, the outline and flat deck give solid stability to paddle at ease, yet the pulled-in tail and thin rails make it very responsive to manoeuvre through turns. The length gets into waves early and is fast to paddle back out to the sets, while still agile to swing the nose around in classic longboard style. For those looking for a board that can cruise & surf, while also easy to transport, the GO Surf ticks all those boxes.
KEY FEATURES -
> Designed for surf and cruise - The rounded nose outline is fairly full to give a combination of stability and good nose riding performance. The round tail has enough area to balance the glide on flats and yet is still responsive when stepping back to turn.
> Flat deck - The flat deck utlises the full width of the board, giving you a very stable standing area for when its choppy. This flat deck makes the board feel like a wider board in stability
> Rocker - Offers you good paddle speed for cruising, yet has enough kick in the nose to prevent nose diving, and a moderate tail kick to lift the nose through turns. The nose riding performance of the Go Surf really surprised us, feeling super stable so you can ride toes on the nose.
> The rail - The rail thickness is fuller in the mid-section to provide float and cruising speed. The rails are taken from the popular Wedge range and require less pressure to engage on the wave face.
> Thinner nose and tail - The nose and tail have thinner rails to reduce both the swing weight through turns and to give you more bite to engage the rail through turns.
> Bottom shape - Has a vee throughout for easy to rail to rail transitions, and turning the board from the mid point.
> Bungee insert - On the nose allow you to store gear when cruising. The bungee rope can be removed when surfing to freely ride the nose.
> 5 fin option - Offers good drive and hold through turns, while the quad offers more release and speed. Recommended to switch to a single larger fin for flat-water paddling. Limited Series Pink comes with Armacore fins. Lite Tech Wave comes with Net Positive fins.
> 2in1 shoulder carry strap and paddle holder -
• Velcro loop to attach your paddle.
• Easier to carry as the board simply hangs effortlessly on the shoulder and free up your hand to multi-task, hold your coffee, or phone.
• When not in use, the bungee sits flat on the board so it doesn’t drag in the water.
• Available aftermarket for Lite Tech and Limited Series.
What is the construction?
LITE TECH LIGHT, STRONG, AFFORDABLE
• Extra rigidity with the introduction of unidirectional stringer bands and solid with added rail/ nose reinforcements. • Australian pine on the standing area for extra impact resistance and rigidity in the most critical area. • Comes with shoulder carry strap inserts. Starboard shoulder carry strap can be purchased aftermarket. • All inserts have added high-density foam reinforcements.
LIMITED SERIES TIMELESS LOOK, SOLID PERFORMANCE
Twin T-stringers made from glass fibre are positioned on the deck and bottom of the board close to the rail, providing a massive increase in the overall strength against total breakage in surf. An additional wide layer of 200g glass wraps the rails for higher strength against paddle impact and further reinforces the overall strength against buckling. The deck features reinforced biaxial glass and Australian pine, to resist heel dents and impact from the standing area. The nose and tail are wrapped in multiple layers of glass fiber for further strength on these impact zones.
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
