Last week we caught up with NorthSails to gain their reaction to capturing the 2017 Sails Constructors Title and this week we spoke to Starboard Brand manager Tiesda You - after they won their 11th Board Constructors Title in 12 years - a quite remarkable record.

Starboard Brand Manager, Tiesda You: “It’s crazy: ever since the PWA awarded a Constructor’s title, we’ve won 11 times out of the 12 years. What makes us particularly proud is that these titles didn’t come from a stroke of luck, or a big investment into one rider. It comes from being who we are: a bunch of windsurfers who love to make products that can win, that make you go wow, this board or this foil is something special. It’s what we like to do and we’ve been lucky enough to make it our day jobs. 

For the PWA team, it’s great to see riders who have been with us since they are little kids as well as newer riders joining the team consistently win at the highest level. 12 years is a long time, but when you’re doing what you enjoy with great people, it goes by fast and 11 titles is the cherry on the cake.”
