7.8m Lightning – Published in the April edition of Windsurf Magazine  

“The Tushingham Lightning is an exceptionally user-friendly freerace sail, delivering awesome bottom end power for early planing, particularly at the low end of the wind range. The performance is incredibly easy to access for riders of all levels who will enjoy high-speed fun in any conditions. An excellent value, hassle free, high-performance twin-cam choice.”

6.0m Storm – Published in the Jan/Feb edition of Windsurf Magazine

“The Tushingham Storm is a highly versatile and hassle-free sail to use, with great plug-and-play potential that riders of all levels can instantly enjoy. It’s best suited to the more freeride focused riders who want to blast around at high speeds and turn with ease and style, but is also pretty capable of venturing out into some waves and it certainly won’t hold you back if you fancy busting out some freestyle moves at any point.”

7.0m X15 –Published in the March edition of Windsurf Magazine

“The X-15 is a very competitive speed and slalom race sail that delivers extremely easily accessible top performance to all riders. It is one of the easiest sails to use – which for many will directly translate into faster reaches. Suitable for all levels of racers and freeriders hungry for some extra speed and power.”

121ltr Carbon Futura -Published in the April edition of Windsurf Magazine

“The Starboard Futura delivers an exhilarating and easy-to-access level of performance. The 121 is seriously quick and also very easy to sail fast regardless of the conditions – we found it a genuine challenge for some full on slalom boards at top speed. But it’s the super-versatile gybing character that can’t be beaten. Riders of all levels will find this board highly rewarding and exciting –  a high performance freeride board that covers everything from basic freeriding to hardcore freeracing. Highly recommended.”

107ltr Carbon iSonic – Published in the March edition of Windsurf Magazine

“The iSonic is a seriously fast board but it’s the immediate acceleration and ability to swiftly pull away from other boards that sets it apart. Yes, it’s a technical bit of racing kit and, in the hands of an expert there’s no doubt it will win races, yet at the same time this 107 is comfortable to ride and has an accessible level of performance that less experienced riders can easily enjoy.”

103ltr Carbon Kode (Freestyle Wave) – Published in the Jan/Feb edition of Windsurf Magazine

“The Kode 103 is a highly-versatile, standout board that performed superbly for all sizes of rider in this test. On flat-water it’s a lot of fun and in bump & jump or swell it’s also super capable. But it’s as a freestyle option that it really shines as a top performer. It would suit any rider with a trick-minded focus who also wants to have some fun in waves as well as blast around at full throttle every now and then.”
