THE BEST JUST GOT BETTER.
ENHANCED LOW-END. GREATER CONTROL. HIGHER TOP SPEED. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
THE iSONIC IN DETAIL
The evolution continues at an even higher velocity; introducing the new iSonic designs for 2024 – all new iSonic Speed 40, 45 and 52 and race ready iSonics 63 and 73.
Our latest iSonics fly over the water with renowned control and confidence. Calm and composed in rougher conditions, they accelerate relentlessly and freely without sticking, with enhanced performance capability ensuring even more competitive advantage. When it matters most. The 63 features a new rocker line with a 7cm longer flat in the centre, improving control in choppy conditions. Both 67 and 73 have redesigned cut-aways, with the second step to make the board fly more on the fin and give more stability on the race course. And, for 2024 we reintroduce the iconic Starboard Wood Sandwich construction across the iSonic range.

Arrow Cut Aways
Our new Arrow Cutaway design is featured on the iSonic 63, 67 and 73. Reducing the second step length makes the board fly even more on the fin. To control this extra lift, the extended triangle second step minimises the tail overpowering the rider. The result is a free riding board, ideally trimmed, extending the controlled fin lift range and improving the average speed closer to the maximum speed, with more confidence. And comfort. Perfect for focusing on your racing – rather than on your board.
Speed Focussed Stance
The rear foot straps have a rear stance emphasis, allowing less surface area drag in the water and increased top-end speed. Along with the rear foot straps, the mast track is also centred further back, which makes the board ride more freely.
Double-Step Cutaways
Double Step Cutaways for added release and increased speed. The second step is shorter to make the board fly more on the fin.
Mast track further back
Along with the back footstraps, we moved the mast track, further back which makes the board ride even more free.
Extra volume midsection
With a narrower outline, extra volume is added around the centerline, improving consistency and confidence in marginal conditions. Get planing sooner and maintain momentum and flow in critical situations.
Drake Slick Footstraps
The Drake Slick footstraps are made with FSC-certified, sustainably sourced and plant-based Yulex foam. With 85% natural rubber content, CO² emitted during the manufacturing process is reduced by 80%. The remaining 15% of synthetic neoprene is kept to improve UV resistance. Carefully sourced with the smoothest fabric for a comfortable feel.
THE FLAGSHIP CONSTRUCTION
The iSonic Carbon Reflex is our flagship range. The light weight allows you to get going easier, plane through wind holes and get the best top speed. Carbon Reflex is our stiffest construction, giving you the best control when hitting chop and waves. Decks are built with the lightest grade of biaxial and uni-directional carbon fibre orientated between 45, 30 and 0 degrees for optimized flex and reflex characteristics. The bottom of the boards use an even lighter grade of uni-directional carbon fibre from nose to tail, with an extra 45 degree biaxial carbon layer in the tail area for added torsional stiffness.
Ultralight Weight Combined With New Materials
Developed by Jean Louis Colmas in 1984, Wood Technology became Starboard’s trademark construction in 1995. Wood Technology remains a favorite for riders preferring more comfort, more control and the unique crisp feel of an original Starboard. It’s time to bring back this technology while reducing our CO2 footprint. Full wood sandwich lamination of 0.6mm Australian Pinewood, ensures durability and comfort in a good strength-to-weight ratio. Today’s wood is more visible in modern graphics; UV protected by fresh blue paint and stickers that compliment the natural grain with a really nice effect. A classy re-edition of a classic Starboard Original.
