GO SURF

Just 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 on 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 gives 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 and is easy to transport, the GO Surf ticks all those boxes.

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.

THE 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.

(Only with Lite Tech and Limited Series)

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. 170 center fin and 4.7” side fins are supplied with the board.

2-IN-1 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.

(Comes with the Blue Carbon and can be purchased aftermarket for Lite Tech and Limited Series.)

FCS INSERT

On the nose to attach accessories like a GoPro, phone holder, compass or GPS

BLUE CARBON

THE BEST VALUE FULL CARBON CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE EVER PRODUCED

  • Top grade 150g Biaxial Carbon wraps the entire board, joining with an overlap on the deck and bottom to create flat stringer, increasing the total breakage strength.
  • 2 skins of durable fibre glass form a sandwich around the biaxial Carbon, protecting the carbon by dampening and absorbing the impact.
  • The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom work together to increase the overall total breakage strength.
  • Multiple reinforcements in the standing area, nose and tail increase impact resistance.

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.
