Starboard/Severne

I am very happy to announce to be sponsored by Starboard and Severne sails from now on. You will find me on isonic boards and reflex sails, with a big smile! The deal is just done and tomorrow I can get most of my gear, much thanks to Kater, Fox Sports, Starboard and Severne for this superquick service.

Starboard is my first boardsponsor ever. My dream always has been to join starboard, plus at this moment starboard is one of the most serious brands in speed windsurfing, it doesn't get any better. I owned a starboard start/ hypersonic 105/ isonic 105 before and I know for sure the new boards will perform like a starboard always did! Great ;)

Severne Sails will be a first for me, but looking to the sails and Jurjen van der Noord it will be no problem to go fast. The reflex looks superstable and giving amazing acceleration.





When I got some time on water all gear will reviewed here on www.speedsurfingblog.com, many fins and settings to be tried and shared. Photo's to be taken of the new gear. Yes this will be a great time!

I have added some pictures of my starboard passion in the past
 
Isonic 105 + Gaastra Vapor 6.5, 2007 (good for many times 70km/h+, learned speedsurfing with this board)

 
Hypersonic 105 + North Spectro 8.0, pre-2005 (early gliding kit)

 
Freeformula 168, my brothers *board, 2004, we needed something big for early gliding at our homespot "Geestmerambacht"

 
Start, me doing funboarding, with customized Arrows Dragster ;), 2005. I made with black tape the big logo. Too bad the sail was stolen one year later.

 
The hypersonic 105 in action, definitly the board with widest windrange ever

    Nice!

    I have also got a lot of starboards the last years (I got some testboards from a local shop, that I could use for the season: s-types, futura's,...).

    Nice brand and really cool speed-boards, the only thing is the delivery-times... Never sell your board, before you have your new one at home, because it's always taking longer then expected.

    Nice one Erik, congratulations.
    Was already guessing that way after you said something about a "lightwind 53cm wide speedboard" ;)

    Thanks for all the congratulations!! Its really great to have soo many supportive readers. Also received lots of emails.

    Today I had a short session with the 7.0+ isonic 86, I simply HAD TO SAIL, playing with the tuning. It feels great so far, superstable. Not soo much wind, but at least the sail has plenty of bottom-end to get going in 10-14kn. Let's see what it does in windy (speed) conditions

    Erik,

    I hope to see some nice test-blogposts about some models. For example whats the real difference between a slalomboard like the isonic 86 and a lightwind speedboard like the W53 and W58?

    Hoi Erik,

    Veel succes met je prachtige boards en zeiltjes! De 7.0 reflex heb ik in korte tijd nu acht keer gevaren en het is een groot genot: lichtvoetig, zeer stabiel, veel drive, snelheid en acceleratie. Eigenlijk alles wat de meeste mensen zoeken in een speedzeil. Veel succes met je nieuwe speedwapens dit seizoen!
