The Airplane In Detail

        

Double-layer, low-extension woven drop-stitch Fusion Welded technology adds stiffness, improves durability with a higher resistance to puncture, improves shape stability over time and reduces weight. New improved efficiency and reduced drag ensure easier planing. Enclosing the Airplane’s rear fin box permanently in the board streamlines the bottom shape, which improves early planing and top-end speed. The box is glued in place and no longer removable, which also makes the board easier to set up.         

      

Woven Drop Stitch Technology

The new woven drop stitch technology is used on the top and the bottom of the board. The process starts with a glue-free PVC lamination. The new weave provides a structure for the polyester yarns – which gives the board its shape. Premium weave has less give than the traditional knitting method. Most knitted fibers have soft and stretchy properties, whereas this new weaving is superior in stiffness, reflex, and rigidity.

Welded Rail Technology

Starboard’s Welded Rail Technology uses a new & advanced heat-welding process whereby the top and bottom layers of the board are mechanically bonded. That means zero glue at the top and bottom join along the rails (where leakage often occurs) and these joins are now bonded for life – making our boards the most durable on the market!

Full Power Planing

Starboard’s Rail Edge invention created the planing inflatable windsurfing board segment. A proprietary 3D elastomer compound Rail Edge runs along the rails of the board, creating a defined edge that allows for a clean water release and higher speed, yet can fold and roll up. We’ve improved the Rail Edge to enhance grip while carve jibing.

Fine Tuned Rocker

Each rocker design is optimised to provide the right combination of lift, glide and manoeuvrability.

Roller-wheeled Bag

Starboard Airplane boards are supplied with our roller-wheeled bag that packs everything away tidily and conveniently. Featuring eco RPET 450D outer fabric layer made from recycled plastic bottles, in partnership with Waste2Wear. The bottles are chopped into flakes, washed, melted and extruded into yarns and then spun into a fabric. Between 30 to 50 bottles are reused per bag. Bottles that now re-enters the market again, without risk of polluting the environment. Ripstop weaving technology improves wear and tear resistance.

Yulex Neoprene

Premium Drake footstraps made from environmentally friendly Yulex foam with the smoothest fabric ensure comfortable control, while under your feet the 4mm footpads with diamond grooving pattern provide a connected feel with excellent grip.
