The GO boards are the original all-rounders that offer the blend of performance, fun, comfort and value that have marked the modern era of windsurfing history. Having pioneered the widestyle revolution, the GO boards have become the World's most popular boards and the benchmark design for the progressive freerider. The 2008 edition continues the GO legacy with an extended range of six new super-slim models that raises the bar once more.

The new range starts from 122 litres and goes up to 177 litres, offering a high performance, comfortable and affordable freeride option to more windsurfers of different skill levels and different sizes.

The GO 122, 133, 144 and 155 share the same shapes as the Futura models. In the quest for more performance across a wider wind range, the Futura brought with them the advent of the thinner-wider shape concept. The widths have become as wide as that of the GOs. So with high-performance and easy-stability meeting in terms of design, it was natural for the GO and the Futura shapes to merge. The two larger sizes (166 and 177) are GO-specific, designed especially for extra stability, ease and lightwind performance with widths that extend beyond 85cm. The GO 177 also features heel gutters that allows footstraps to be positioned further inboard.

In summary, the new GO boards' combination of extra-thin profiles, wide widths and iSonic engineering create a unique package that offers it all - control, comfort, wind range, early planing, smooth jibing and maximum top speed: sheer performance never seen before with boards that are so easy.

Size-specific details:

The GO 144, 155, 166 and 177 offer strap positions for the beginner, intermediate and expert sailor, with convenient carry handles in the centre.

The GO 122 and 133 offer strap options for the intermediate and advanced rider only.

The GO 155, 166 and 177 have an additional Drake Shallow 410 FRN supplied.

The GO 166 and 177 offers side-fin options.

Full EVA deck on the GO 155, 166 and 177.

Compared to the Futuras boards, The GO boards offer more value and superior toughness with their Tufskin construction technology, more comfort with their full EVA decks and more convenience with their carry handles (GO 144, 155). The GO also comes available in 166 and 177 litre sizes.
The Futuras share the same shapes but are built in a lighter, stiffer and more accurate sandwich technology. The footstrap tuning options are different in the 144 and 155 models where the GO will provide options for the beginner too.
