The Futuras: the pure freeride boards that combine stability and ease of use with the widest wind range and the highest top end performance in its group. Blurring the lines between free-slalom boards and freeride boards, the Futuras are also, astonishingly, the most easy freeride boards in their group. This thanks to extra width and their ability to automatically deliver peak performance across a wide sweet spot.Starboard Futuras were recently introduced in the World\'s leading windsurfing centre. Starboard started the season with 30% of customer\'s bookings while the other 70% booked established offerings. By the end of the season, the bookings changed to 70%, even up to 90% for Starboard. The Futuras\'impossible combination of maximum performance with the easiest and most stable shape made it the simple choice.How does a Futura manage to combine the best top end performance with the easiest board?For the same volume, the width of a Futura matches the width of a modern slalom board. This makes them the widest freeride boards in their category, giving them more stability when uphauling and sailing at lower speeds.With footstraps that can be positioned either inboard or outboard, a Futura can then be tuned to deliver easy freeride sailing or maximum performance.Extra wide and extra slimThe wider width and the extra slim profile of the Futuras is their secret to their efficiency. Just like modern slalom boards, the reduced thickness and extra width is the key to deliver the most efficient performance and total control in all conditions, from lightly underpowered and flat water to over-powered in the roughest seas states.The reduced thickness also greatly increases the maneuverability of the board and lowers the centre of gravity: more control and more responsive to ride and jibe.Comfort and controlThe deck shape of every Futura has been shaped to offer a comfortable rounded shape under your feet, whether you\'re riding in the inboard or outboard position. The nose of the board also features a deep deck concave to lower the mast track, enhancing control and lowering the centre of gravity further.A wide sweet spot, a wide wind range and the ability to tuneThe greatest thing about a Futura is its efficiency: its ability to deliver peak performance across a wide sweet spot, whether riding slightly underpowered or totally overpowered. Its design and its wide wind range also gives it the ability to be fully tuned by the user, with a wider sail range and a wider fin range than any other freeride board.
