Another test topping result for Starboard - this time the Isonic 101 gets the praise. Antoine Albeau has been SMASHING the PWA racing scene using the Isonic line up - never has such domination of Racing been seen since Dunkerbeck. If you want top be the fastest at your beach the Starboard Isonic is defining itself the hull to be on.
Here is the summary of the Review:
"In conclusion: an ultra-complete package for long distances where the wind can change in strength and direction, the iSonic can position itself very easily anywhere on a race course with the highest levels of performance. A reference."
+ Range of use, stability, 2 high performance fins, uniformity of its
+ performance
Just want to back up the Isonic comments from the mags.
The Isonic boards is truly an awesome board range!!
From the first release of the Isonic range last year I was amongst the very skeptical sailors, questioning the performance of those different looking square nose boards, riding very "low" on the water.
After using them 1 year and now stepped on the new ones I'm more than happy with their performance. For the new ones I can say that they all gybe smother and the thinner deck in the back gives a comfortable ride with good respond.
They are fun and enjoyable boards to ride and this translate into control and speed and a lot of confidence under slalom competitions or long distance. I’m pretty sure that they are the most winning boards last season in any slalom / long-distance competitions.
For the new Isonic 101, it quickly became one of my favorite Isonic boards, taking sails from 6.5 - 8.5. It rides extremely controlled in choppy conditions and is pure joy.
If you own an Isonic, then feel free to ask about any questions about trim etc., and I will be happy to share some knowledge.
