Starboard tell us, “The all new Kode is our wave/freestyle/freeride crossover
board. Each size designed and equipped to ride in either thruster or single
fin configuration depending on whether you wish for more manoeuvrability
and grip, or for a speed and straight line sensation. Our aim was to deliver
the best onshore wave board, yet excel in freeride, freewave and freestyle
as the Kode legacy demands. To achieve this, we shortened the shape in
both the nose and tail for added manoeuvrability while avoiding any loss
in acceleration or speed. The increased bottom vee shape further adds
manoeuvrability in the waves, giving a sharper acceleration in the gusts
and smoothness in rough waters. Available sizes: 85L, 95L, 105L, 115L.”

SEVERNE
BLADE
Severne say, “The 2020 Blade
is the sail to choose for all-
round high performance.
Increased luff curve adds skin
tension to hold the profile
forward and low, maximising
wind range. A Dacron luff
panel allows elastic expansion
under load, furthering the
draft-forward bias in extreme
conditions. Control oriented
geometry sets rake angles
to maintain downforce at the
base whilst setting the clew
below shoulder height where
it’s most easily managed.
Stance is balanced with upper
shaping moved forward
reducing back leg pressure
and fin load. Sizes: 3.0, 3.3,
3.5, 3.7, 4.0, 4.2, 4.5, 4.7, 5.0,
5.3, 5.5, 5.7, 6.2, 6.7m”
