Wingsurfing can also be great fun in light winds and without a foil, especially if you use a board that can also be used for other water sports or as a family bathing island. Inflatable boards for stand-up paddling (SUP) can be ideal for this.
The Wingboard 4in1 from Starboard aims to set the standard in this respect and cover the widest possible range of applications with a series of ingenious features.
We'll show you what they are here:
The model is available in the size 10'4'' (315 centimetres) and, thanks to its width of 32'' (81 centimetres), should also offer newcomers with no previous experience of other water sports sufficient tipping stability. A large deck pad should also ensure a comfortable stance on deck and minimise the risk of injury.
