2012 Starboard Phantom Race 377

The first details have been released of the new 2012 Starboard Phantom Race 377 and it definitely looks different to the current 2011 model which you can see from the picture and video below. Can't wait to try it out and see how different it is

2012 Starboard iSonic's, iSonic Speed Specials & Ultrasonic

Checkout the new 2012 Starboard iSonic's, iSonic speed's & Ultrasonic

The board sizes are the same as the previous year but the iSonic's have all had slight tweaks:-

The rail thickness has been reduced in the nose which helps improve control
The deep deck concave has been moved forward to help make jibing easier
New pinched in tail outline make the board feel freer & new tail cutouts reduce the wetted area for improved speed &
The iSonic 117 wide features new heel extensions for improved leverage

Checkout all the details below and the video with the new iSonic in action

The 2012 iSonic Speed Specials look to be the same shapes as last year with the only difference being they have new strap insert positions giving two extra narrow stance options and they also only have 1 row per strap instead of two with reduces the weight. I think you'll agree with me they look great and hopefully i will be able to find some money so i can add the W58 to my speedboard quiver :-))

The Ultrasonic is the light wind cousin of the iSonic family and is designed for pure light wind planning performance without the need for the use of Formula Equipment. Haven't tried one yet but i hope to do so soon and see how it compares to my iSonic 144
