Starboard Futura Windsurf Board 2027
(Available in limited quantities, any current-year out-of-stock sizes can be ordered for the next UK shipment).
Designed for riders chasing high average speed with reduced effort, the Futura blends slalom-level efficiency with freeride comfort. Fast to plane, smooth through jibes, and easy to control at speed, it is built for long-distance racing and high-speed freeride across a wide range of conditions.
The Futura 115 is Simon's main teaching board for light and medium wind conditions at QMSC and Portland Harbour, Weymouth.
Wood Carbon Sandwich Construction
The Wood Carbon Sandwich construction is perfectly matched to the Futura's mission of delivering high average speed with reduced rider effort. Carbon reinforcements provide the stiffness and efficiency needed for fast acceleration and strong top-end speed, while the wood sandwich layers add natural damping that improves comfort and control at speed.
This balance makes the board smoother and more forgiving over long distances, helping maintain stability in chop and reducing fatigue during extended sessions. The result is a fast, controlled, and confidence-inspiring ride, ideal for long-distance racing and high-speed freeride sailing.
