The one board in the quiver that I have unequivocal spousal approval for replacement at any time: our Starboard Start! Taught the kids to sail on it, wife enjoys sailing it and it is awesome for cruising over the reef here with family hanging onto the back straps being taken on a reef tour. It's a great great gybe trainer as it spins on its tail like nothing else and got the kids on the water easily. For myself it's great for flatwater freestyle in light wind and can get it to over 20kn with some little jumps in a decent breeze. I have lots of great boards of which my Fox, Dyno and f-race leap out as faves, and the LT fulfils a lot of the same roles as the Start, but the old Start has a very special place in the quiver. I know this is a mighty low performance type to throw into this thread but I have not for a second regretted buying it and will be getting another when it's needed!

My board that I designed and made with the help and guidance of the community right here. Its about 105L and I designed it on akushaper and had it cnc cut by a company in Durban SA. It probably sails like crap compared to what you all are riding but I love my board.

Totally agree. I have a first generation Start. My 8 yr old son and a bunch of other people learned on it. My wife who doesn't windsurf can windsurf it. I sailed it with a 65cm fin and 9.5 sail before I got my first Formula board. And, it's done everything in between. I call it a legacy board - the only way it leaves my possession is through my estate.

Now that you say this, I should pop a foil in it for run - just because.

Either my SB iS130 or SB W58 special, both my most used boards. One for ligh5 wind slalom blasting and the other for light wind speed.

i can't split them in to which is my favourite, it's like you have two kids and which one is your favourite..........

Hi Dar, Info here.... www.atomicwindsurf.com/masterblaster
PM me if you want to know more.

Quatro twinzer 81L, I think year 2009, my first wave multi fin.
Starboard Ultra kode reflex carbon 80

Best sail:

S1 pro 4.4 2018

JP AUSTRALIA Freestyle wave PRO 102l 2015

Despite I love my slalom boards (Patrik 115 v2, RRD 122 v9) this board is my choice when I just want sail for hours. Last summer I did 134 km with an Ezzy Elite 6,4 very confortably. With an Elite 5.3 performs very well (previously with a 5.5 Tiger). And with a 4.7 tiger you can sail in very choppy water as well (trifin set)

The only downside is that the paint coating is very bad
