Formula 162 wood 2008

The uncompromising racing shape makes the board suitable for both professionals and amateurs who want to maximize their technical advantage.
Formula is also suitable for the advanced recreational surfer who likes speed and extremely early planing.

Since the beginning of the Formula windsurfing class in 1999, Starboard has led the way with more victories than any other model.
More competitors have chosen to compete with Starboard Formula than with any other board brand, year after year.
In 2006, they took the first 11 places in Formula Worlds.

With more designers, test riders, greater resources and a dedicated development team always seeking the ultimate winning shape, Starboard's technological lead continues.

The 2008 formula board, named F162, has a wider and lower nose.
This gives it more surface area on the water without making the board itself longer.
This way it becomes faster over chop and thus maintains planing because it does not lose as much speed.
The nose is also much thinner and therefore also lighter.

The F162 has also become wider at the rear compared to last year's model.
This allows it to take better height and a deeper blur.

Summary:

• Pure RACE board
• Extreme properties with early planing and wider wind range
• New 81.8cm wide tail outline
• New wider and thinner nose
• New optimized fin for wider tail
