Starboard's Starts have always been the benchmark entry level board ever since they were first introduced in 1999 thanks to their remarkably stable, easy-planing and feature packed designs. For 2008, the new longer Start M and L have evolved to offer more glide and more longitudinal stability, with a radical new deck design that makes it easier than ever to progress to planing.

Specially designed heel gutters in the back part of the board allow intermediate and advanced sailors to stand close to the board's centre line, giving the rider full comfort, full grip and full control without having to learn to stand out on the rail of the board. The straps are positioned right there close to the center line, so the sailor conveniently steps into the center straps with the natural feeling of having a nicely curved rail under their feet.

The new Start boards plane up smoothly and quickly: they have a new super wide tail design derived from the shape of the Apollo - the World's earliest planing board - to create lift efficiently and plane earlier. The oversized tail cut-away provides a surprisingly loose and nice planing sensation.
