Slim, fast and with the wind range of two classic freeriders, an AtomIQ takes the complication out of windsurfing. For 2016: new 104, 114 and 124 shapes, and introducing the new, World’s lightest UltraCore Carbon board technology.
New shapes: the 104, 114 and 124 are all new wider shapes with a narrower surface behind the back foot and more deck dome in the tail for added comfort.
Outline: compact and short for minimal swing weight, quick reactions and more control in high winds.
Rocker: all AtomIQs use Starboard’s universal rocker, first used in the iSonics. This magic rocker is the core ingredient for the AtomIQ’s blend of speed and control with an efficient, flying sensation.
Profile: 10cm thin in the mid-section minimizes excess volume, lowers the board’s centre of gravity and sheds excess float for more control and a wider wind range. For 2016, the new shapes have 1cm of added extra dome just under the feet, in the tail, for added comfort and grip.
Advanced windsurfers: choose the AtomIQ that is the same width as your current board, for enhanced effciency. Progressing windsurfers: choose the same volume as your current board, for more stability.
UltraCore: The World’s lightest windsurf board construction using a new Starboard proprietary sandwich core material with up to 50% higher mechanical properties. A unidirectional Carbon layer adds extra crispness and rigidity in the planing section of the board. Wood Reflex: a full PVC Sandwich Core deck construction with Biax Glass for reflex and an Australian pine wood bottom for the unique Starboard Wood feel. Both techs include a full perimeter Carbon Innegra rail band that creates a rigid frame and increases rail impact resistance.
Wind Range: combining their slim profile with the compact outline, an AtomIQ covers a massive wind range. With a deeper fin and a larger size sail, the AtomIQ’s width will generate power and efficiency in lightwinds. With a smaller fin and a smaller sail, the AtomIQ’s control carries into higher winds. Your sail will overpower you well before the board reaches its limit.
New fins: new Freeride Power CNC G10 fins with a thinner tip profile, an upright rake and a thicker base. For maximum stability and traction.
