PRODUCT FEATURES:
YOUR FIRST WINDSURF BOARD
Superb versatility with ultra modern handling define the all GO Windsurfer range. Evolved directly from the hugely successful Carve family, GO Windsurfers feature an integrated full daggerboard and longer mast tracks, enhancing confident performance over a wide range of sub-planing and planing conditions.
Often a great choice for a family with a range of riders or conditions, the integrated daggerboard ensures more confident windward performance, enabling better upwind angles and less drift in lighter conditions, but smoothly folding away to allow for a faster, more responsive ride as soon as planing conditions (or rider experience) are suitable. Explore the coastline in lighter wind conditions using the daggerboard, or enjoy the thrill of carve jibing a responsive board with daggerboard retracted neatly inside the body of the GO Windsurfer.
The 165 size is the ideal entry-level and intermediate board for smaller riders, featuring an elongated shape for excellent traction and glide before planing. The GO Windsurfer 175 and 185 are best sellers for first time windsurfers, delivering exciting versatility from light to windy planing conditions. The modern GO shapes feature a more lively, responsive ride and intuitive jibe. Wider nose, long cutaways, optimized profile and efficient rocker line all improve your ride thanks to more glide, stability, traction and ease of planing.
- PROVEN GO FEATURES + MORE CENTRE THICKNESS FOR DAGGERBOX
- STIFFERDAGGERBOARD FOR LIGHTWIND AND STABILITY
- INDUSTRY LEADING CLIPPERBOX SYSTEM WITH QUICK LIP SERVICE
THE SHAPE: FROM BEGINNER TO HERO
Based on the latest Carve developments, each GO design has an extremely long flat for a smooth transition to planing.
When not planing, the evenly distributed volume makes moving around on the GO effortless and an easy choice for beginners. Once you’re ready to progress, the curvature between front and back strap encourages first planing jibes and lets you blast in stronger wind. Tested positively over a super wide range of sails, it always delivers a balanced feel.
RETRACTABLE DAGGERBOARD
The GO Windsurfers features a fully retractable daggerboard that makes it easier to stay upwind and learn to windsurf, while being more versatile from light to windy planing conditions.
Our Clipperbox daggerboard system that clicks in and out and can be removed without tools. Position the daggerboard at 45 degrees and pull up to release. The water-sealing rubber lips are ultra-durable and can also be replaced without tools.
GO WINDSURFER 165
The 165 size is the ideal entry-level and progressive board for smaller riders. Like the 175 and 185, the ‘Windsurfer’ variant of the GO has a retractable daggerboard and an elongated shape for really nice traction and a natural, easy glide before planing.
SMOOTH GLIDE
GO Windsurfer 165, 175, 185: A highly efficient and low rockerline and an even volume distribution allows the GO Windsurfer to glide smoothly and fast in light winds, with lots of longitudinal traction. It also lets the board accelerate onto the plane smoothly and more easily than before.
CARRY HANDLE
The GO Windsurfer 165, 175 and 185 feature a nose carry handle, making them easy to carry for kids. All GO boards feature a centre carry handle for easy carrying under arm.
ONE FOR EVERYONE
The compact freeride shape of the GO board allows both kids and adults to share the fun. For kids, the board’s compact outline makes it easy to maneuver and handle, while the center fin helps maintain upwind direction and straight-line tracking. Adults can remove the center fin, adjust the foot straps to their desired positions, and unlock the board’s maximum performance.
FOOTSTRAP POSITIONS
The GO Windsurfer boards provide a wide range of footstrap positions, catering to all skill levels for easy access and customization.
DRAKE FOOTSTRAPS
The Drake 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.
LARGE EVA PAD ON THE DECK
The deck has a large soft EVA finish, comfortable for your feet, knees and elbows. You get the grip – without cuts or rashes. The EVA deck is raised above the edges of the board to allow the water to flow freely around the board and jibe smoothly without drag.
MATCHING SAILS
The Starboard SUP Windsurfing sails are a great addition to any beginner or progression board. They are light, powerful and an excellent choice for entry-level windsurfers; great versatility and durability.
DRAKE FREERIDE FIN
Drake Freeride fin for great control. Blending flowing, natural turns with straight-line efficiency and confidence, each GO’s fin is carefully specified and optimised to enhance the exciting and responsive performance.
CONSTRUCTIONS:
Starlite
CRISP AND SHARP
The GO Windsurfer model is available exclusively in the Starlite construction, a significant step up from the standard construction typically used in this price category: lighter weight, stiffer, tougher against impacts and with a crisper, more high-performance feel on the water. It uses a combination of 0.6mm Australian pine wood and glass fibres to combine premium technology with a quality finish in a value package.
