Starboard 24/48 – Nationwide Demo Opportunity

There’s plenty of brilliant windsurfing kit available these days but very few windsurfers actually have the opportunity to find out for themselves how the new kit compares to their existing quiver. Demo days can work brilliantly when there’s wind but the chances are, if a windsurfer is looking to test a specific model, either the wind or the water state is not going to be adequate for the board they’re looking for.

For this reason Starboard UK have decided to offer windsurfers all over the country a golden opportunity to test twenty four of the latest new models:

Speedy iSonics, fantastic Futuras, Flares, test-winning Kodes and the hottest new wave development – the Quad.

Starboard 24/48 offers windsurfers the opportunity to book a 48-hour test session in advance, via participating shops. The 24 refers to the shipping cost (£24, which must be paid in advance of shipping) and the 24-hour delivery service (if the board in question is available).

When the weather forecast is looking favourable for a test session simply contact the shop and they will liase with Starboard UK to book the model.

Here are the 24 available boards (& sizes):

QUAD – Hot! Book early to avoid disappointment!             71, 76, 81, 86
