Starboard 2014

Sehr interessant ....
Danke!
Aber das interessanteste an dem Katalog ist ja die Rückseite (letzte Seite).
In 110 mein nächstes

Toller Katalog. Die Boards vom Design her deutlich besser, finde ich.

Nochmal getrennt:

In der nächsten surf kommt wohl ein Artikel mit den dünnen breiten Freeridern ala Gecko. Starboard mit dabei?

Ich gehe mal nicht davon aus, da das Brett viel zu neu ist und außerdem der Artikel sich wohl eher allgemein auf diese Brettart bezieht verglichen mit anderen Konzepten.
Mal davon abgesehen hat die surf sowieso immer, wenn verschiedene Bretter (-Arten) verglichen werden, Fanatic genommen. (Fanatic Hawk, Shark, Freewave, Gecko) <- das wird vermutlich der Inhalt des Artikels sein. Obwohl an dem RRD zur Zeit ja eigentlich keiner vorbeikommt.

Kein Praxistest? Was gibt es bisher? RRD Firemove, Fanatic Gecko, jetzt das Starboard. Noch welche?

Das einzige, was mich noch zum RRD oder Magic Ride bringen könnte ist, dass der Atomiq so wie es im Prospekt aussieht, hinten keine Mittelschlaufen-Option bietet.

JP Magic Ride

Der Atomiq ersetzt den Kode in den größeren Größen (113 und 123).

Bereits genannt wurde ja schon der JP Magic Ride. Außerdem gibt es noch den Exocet XCross und den Simmer Freemove. Der Tabou Thunder ist zwar eigentlich eine andere Boardkategorie, passt aber dennoch gut in einen solchen Test, da angeblich frühgleitender Freerider mit schmalem Heck für gute Halseneigenschaften. Wäre schade, wenn er gar nicht getestet würde.

iSonic Description

The iSonics are Starboard’s slalom boards. They are fast racing machines designed for the highest top speeds, the highest average speeds, and the quickest accelerations with powerful overtaking abilities throughout a wide wind range.

In a nutshell, for 2014, the 80/87/90/97/107 iSonics are fully upgraded with shorter, wider and slimmer shapes and new cutaway/side cut designs that make for a wider wind range than before, more control, better acceleration and higher top speed.

The 110, 117, 130 are more evolutionary with new cut-away/side cut designs that boost top end speed and acceleration. They are a little bit thinner only and the 110 was lengthened to match the balance of the range.

The Message

MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, SHORTER, WIDER, SLIMMER

The iconic iSonics: our flagship slalom range incorporating every ounce of Starboard R&D technology, every gram of our team’s design experience, and driven
by the most successful racing team in windsurfing.

Ever since their inception, the iSonics focus on achieving not just the highest top speeds but also the highest average speeds, the quickest accelerations, the
most effective overtaking power, the most powerful jibing performance, and all this across the widest range of conditions.

This philosophy has created innovations such as the wide outline, the thin profile, the low-nose rocker, the wide-tail, the side-cuts, the deep deck-concave and
more.

Wide, compact outlines forms the basis for each iSonic design.

The nose of each board is relatively wide, allowing for a shorter nose and a lower rocker to be used. This shorter and lower nose reduces swing weight,
reduces aerodynamic drag and improves the board’s ability to skim over chop without losing speed.

The tail of the board, just under your back foot is also relatively wide. This increases the board’s power, its overtaking potential, its jibing power, its wind range
and the leverage the rider can apply over the board to keep it under control or add extra acceleration.

What's New ?

iSonic 80, 87, 90, 97, 107 :

Significantly upgraded shapes
2-3cm wider, thinner profiles
Shorter lengths more more control and wind range
Side cuts are wider to slightly reduce the width of the wetted surface under your back foot: higher top speed and high-wind acceleration
Secondary wingers are closed off on the deck side, eliminating the step that can crack under exceptional stress
Tweaked cutaway designs with a more open angle

iSonic 110, 117, 130 :

Wider side cuts to narrow down the width of the wetted surface: improved top speed and high-wind acceleration
Tweaked cutaway designs with a more open angle
Slight thickness reduction: approximately 3mm
110 is 3cm longer to match the overall length/balance of other sizes

Additional Information :
The iSonics are available in two construction categories: Wood, for more control and comfort, and Carbon, for sharper acceleration, a stiffer feel and earlier planing.

The Carbon construction, internally known as Carbon Reflex, uses 45 degree biaxial carbon both deck and bottom to allo the board to flex and re-bound responsively.
This construction is ultralight, stiffd yet confortable and responsive.

No fins are supplied with the board.

Sean O'Brien AUS120 about the iSonic 2014 : http://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Wind ... onic-2014/

In the bigger sizes, most of them are thicker and much WIDER ... the 97, 107, 117 especially. I had a chance to test a few of the bigger ones in Turkey this week and they are really something special. Much earlier planing (you can also put bigger sails on them) and they have a very reduced wetted surface area in the tail (kind of like the RRD's tail from 2013 onwards) so they are even easier to gybe with this smaller tail and also much more control in high winds with the smaller tails ...

That probably sounds like marketing hype, but it's actually my true opinions after riding the boards. I'll most likely take 1 board size UP (going for 87, 107, 117) from my current choices (currently 80, 97, 110) for the PWA next season and expect to get the same performance and control in highwind because of the new shapes... which is great!

All the boards are developed with the current Z-Fins in these sizes:

97 = 36/38cm
107 = 38/40cm (I only tried it with the 40cm and this is working with 7.8m, 8.6m)
117 = 42/44cm
130 = 48cm

We didn't have a new 110 to try in Turkey so not sure what that is using. But I imagine it's the same fins as most of the boards haven't changed fin sizes at all.

Die Konkave für den Mastfuss gibt es nicht mehr?

Aggressiver Preis für den ATOMiq in carbon... merkwürdig klein sind jedoch die Angaben für max. Segelgröße...
Meine wunschgröße wäre ien 115er, jedoch mit Segelgröße bis 8,0...
