After seven successful years with Bic Sport, Kevin Pritchard has chosen to join the ever expanding Starboard development program.

“Kevin is a great inspiration for us at Starboard, and we look forward to working with him on our shapes. With our research crew, Tiesda You, Jim Drake, Jean Louis Colmas, Scott Mc Kercher, Colin Siferlen and Ben Severene, we are ready to take windsurfing to a new level. We see a comeback of slalom in the future and Kevin also fits well into this development. Kevin’s race and wave sailing dedication, is second to none, and we feel together we can bring new blood into the sport.

Starboards future goal is simply to ensure that we can deliver tomorrows boards yesterday and to set in action any activities we possibly can to evolve the attention and interest level for windsurfing. We wish to increase the number of windsurfers by 5 times the current level by 2007 and we are setting in place large scale programs to achieve this goal.” Says Starboards Svein Rasmussen.

“I have been watching Starboard grow as a company throughout the years. The positive energy that Starboard brings to windsurfing is great. I am happy to work with a company that is as passionate about windsurfing as I am. Starboard’s innovative product line has some exciting areas that could revolutionize the sport. I hope to bring many new World Title’s to the Starboard family!” said Kevin Pritchard

Look for Kevin’s first race on Starboard at the US Midwinters in Florida next month.
