For such a sport that is so dependent on nature, windsurfing so far has done very little to look at the environmental cost of the production of its equipment. Starboard wants to change that and is leading the charge through reduction of plastics in its packaging and use of environmentally friendly materials where possible. Recent Starboard signing, Flo Jung, tells us about their latest venture to produce an eco-friendly board using Balsa and discusses the challenges of meeting windsurfing’s obligation for more sustainable choices.
