Starboard have three new Phantoms in their lineup for the coming season. The 377 "batwing" replaces the 380 and looks like weapon of choice for the course racers with a "revolutionary" thin and wide tail that aids in upwind performance and early planing ability. The 320 gets a make over and looks as sweet as every for the hybrid raceboard class. The new member of the family is the 295 and is presented as a one-design board with many of the new design areas shown on the 377 incorporated. The success of the 295 concept locally will probably depend on how it performs against the established classes, at least initially.

Fortunately the name on the board doesn't affect its performance, but rather its design and construction!! It is great to see two manufacturers supporting raceboarding with new models - the Exocet Elite D2 and the Starboard Phantom 377.
