Starboard Rio Armourtech Windsurf Board Xlarge

Bridging the gap between planing boards and light-wind longboards, blurring the line between stable entry level boards and progressive freeride boards, the Rio S, M and L are the boards that cover the widest scope of users for all-wind conditions: windsurfing for everyone, every time and everywhere. RIO S, M, L: The long and wide shapes of these boards are fast with a smooth glide in light winds. For advanced riders, the longer, narrower shape combined with the inboard heel-recesses and a strong daggerboard allows the board to power upwind off the leeward rail. New! The Rio M and L are all-new shapes that are planing earlier and easier. The new shapes are longer in the nose: the boards are stretched out to glide faster and transition into planing mode smoothly and effortlessly. As the wind speed increases, the Rio S, M and L's extra wide tail provides the early planing, the high speeds and the high performance racing fun that have made it a best seller in the all-wind windsurfing category. Contour Deck- makes it easy for everyone to progress into the straps, and easy to rail upwind for advanced windsurfers. Allgaier daggerboard - the new Rios now come fitted with the classic All Gaier daggerboard system. The All Gaier system is a guarantee of reliability and convenience. Extremely easy and smooth to operate, it can last for decades without the need for any special maintenance. A wide and long shape with a wide tail : stable at slow speeds, fast to glide and transitions smoothly from non-planing to planing. The Rio XL is our longer addition to the Rio range, offering the most most glide due to its length, most light-wind speed and most longitudinal stability. It has good sideway stability for beginners due to its 82.5cm width and boxy rails , but not as much as the Start M and L. This makes Rio XL the ideal choice for schools that base their methods on classic gliding speed from the start. First-time windsurfers get gliding right away, and at the same time they'll get hooked to the sensation. This is not a board for planing, but a dedicated entry level board. Nose hole allows the board to be towed or safely locked Armour Tech construction: lighter and stronger than polypropylene blow-moulded plastic boards Extra Long shape offers maximum light-wind speed and glide for beginners All-white finish makes the Rio XL easy to repair and maintain.
