Start 2 – Windsurf & Wing Entry Board
The Start 2 is the ideal entry-level board for both windsurfing and for the first steps in wing surfing . The thick center rails and long, flat bottom with rounded tail generate immediate glide, while the nose kick effortlessly overcomes chop. In gait the board is efficient and balanced ; with a little more wind, you shift your weight back, put your back foot outside the colored area, and begin to glide confidently.
- Easy turns with the Drake Shallow 22 fin for stability when changing feet.
- Quick jibes thanks to the tapered tail and rounded front rails.
- Daggerboard set back : sailing upwind is easier and without backwind.
- Visual guide : colored oval in the center for beginner foot placement.
- Rhino Construction : Thick, durable ABS hull (double wrap on rails), perfect for schools and centers.
- Note : Side fins are not used in windsurfing .

Q&A – Frequently Asked Questions
Is it suitable for wing?
Yes, it is the best “first time” board for windsurfing and wing . The central stability and flat bottom help the

S (231 L) 40–60 kg • M (271 L) 60–80 kg • L (317 L) 80–100 kg.
If you are a complete beginner or want maximum stability, choose a larger size.

It's a visual guide to beginner foot placement: it helps with balance and control during your first maneuvers.
When do I use the daggerboard and side fins?
