2011 Starboard Rio XL

The Rio XL is the longer addition to the Rio range, offering the most glide due to its length, most light-wind speed and most longitudinal stability. It has good sideway stability for beginners due to its 82.5cm width and boxy rails , but not as much as the Start M and L. This makes Rio XL the ideal choice for schools that base their methods on classic gliding speed from the start. First-time windsurfers get gliding right away, and at the same time they'll get hooked to the sensation. This is not a board for planing, but a dedicated entry level board. • Specifically extra-long and narrow model • The most glide and longitudinal stability from the range The Rio XL special features
