Starboard Windsurf Board Futura is a fast, controllable freerace board for surfers looking for efficient planing, high cruising speed and tight jibs without the nervous feel of a pure slalom board. The long waterline and balanced rocker help you get off smoothly, while the deck gives confidence to get right into the footstraps. Thin rails at the tail let you accurately deploy and hold the turn, so you'll carve through chop and gusts with more control. Cut-outs at the tail reduce wet surface area and provide extra looseness at speed; at the same time, the board stays steady on course when the wind picks up. The stance feels natural and supports an active but relaxed stance, allowing you to sail longer without unnecessary corrections. The result is a board that accelerates quickly, distributes pressure evenly and allows you to build technique instead of fighting with the material.
On Dutch lakes, ponds and along the coast, you notice how the Futura combines calm and pace. In gusty winds, it holds speed over chop, you gain height easily and stay planing through the jibe with a clear, predictable release out of the turn. Outboard footstrap positions let you sail sporty and direct; more central positions give extra forgiveness during the learning curve. The construction is light and durable, with sturdy inserts and a practical deck finish that provides grip without feeling aggressive on bare feet or booties. After the session, rinse off salt and sand easily and the board retains its rigidity and shape, even with frequent use. Those looking for one freerace-oriented windsurfing board that makes speed accessible and encourages progression will find in the Starboard Futura a down-to-earth partner with plenty of reserve. A solid and reliable choice for those who want carefree enjoyment on the water.
