yeah pretty odd and can't see that you would move at all fast.
This on the other hand could be a winner...

From what I understand this is produced to be an inexpensive add on to a SUP, and shouldn't cost a great deal more than most of us spend on a paddle. Great for those guys that have a big SUP and want to give windsurfing a try.
That looks cool , could you go up wind with it take the sail off pack it up and turn around and then do a down wind paddle?
Probably not, It's quite a bit of work to sail upwind on anything other than specialised racing windsurf gear. I don't think a SUP would do it, especially when you factor in that you would be trying to push against swells etc.
But I do know a couple of guys on the Goldy that have expressed an interest in trying windsurfing that already SUP, so a an inexpensive rig like the StarBoard one may be the answer. Of course you will still need a board that a sail will screw into (starboard/JP etc)
